DJ Akademiks has been accused of both sexual assault and slander as per the court documents that we were able to get, In July 2022, Fauziya Abashe accused DJ Akademiks, whose birth name was Livingston Allen, had sexually assaulting her at his residence in New Jersey. This accusation was made after she had been drugged and sexually assaulted by two of DJ Akademiks’ associates. In addition to suing him for slander, Abashe is also suing him for negligently inflicting mental distress.
She said that she had met Allen over social media the previous year and that they had a casual relationship. However, by July 2022, the two were not communicating with one another when he reached out to her, as stated in the application with the Superior Court of New Jersey. His two companions, who are referred to as John Does 1 and 2 in the complaint, had a conversation with her upon their arrival, and then they followed her to Allen’s hot tub.
Abashe said that the two companions had provided her with alcohol, which caused her to experience feelings of “extreme lightheadedness and dizziness.” The next step, according to the allegations, was for John Doe 1 to become “very handsy as he aggressively made sexual advances toward her” before pushing her into the pool that was adjacent. According to her, John Doe 1 sexually assaulted her when she was attempting to get out of the water. She “has memories of fighting off her attackers but feeling extremely weak,” according to the lawsuit that she filed.
After Abashe had been in and out of consciousness for the duration of the evening, the guys reportedly gang-raped her on Allen’s pool deck. Abashe passed out many times during this time. At about four in the morning, she said that she awoke in bed with Allen, under the impression that he was “brutally raping” her.
Abashe was not aware of the sexual assaults, and she did not find out about them until the next morning when Allen showed her surveillance tape of her being sexually abused. Following the assaults, Abashe informed the authorities about them, and the police proceeded to run a rape kit on her, which “evidenced that Ms. Abashe had been sexually assaulted.”
According to the petition, Abashe “remained silent” after she reported the attacks until the 30th of December, 2023, when Allen allegedly defamed her on their respective social media platforms. In a public statement, he said that Abashe “voluntarily [had] an orgy with his friends at his home while maintaining that he never participated in any way.”
DJ Akademiks Early Life and Education
DJ Akademiks has one biological brother and was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica. It has been said that his father, who held the position of principal at a school, engaged in several adulterous relationships as a result of his wealthy standing in Jamaican society. Although DJ Akademiks did not enjoy his father’s behavior, which included being absent from his family, having adulterous relationships, and finally creating another family, he asserts that he has come to understand and forgive his father as he has grown older. A significant portion of DJ Akademiks’ childhood was spent in the care of his mother and his grandmother. She finally bought an American guy $20,000 to marry her so that she could legally become a citizen of the United States as fast as possible. Akademiks’s mother left him and his brother behind in Jamaica and moved to the United States. While she was present in the United States, she performed a variety of jobs and lived in circumstances that were below average. In the year 2001, DJ Akademiks and his brother were extended an invitation by their mother to visit the United States.
DJ Akademiks attended Rutgers University (New Brunswick Campus) and earned a bachelor’s degree in biomathematics from that institution. Up until 2013, he worked as a disc jockey for the radio station WRSU-FM, which is affiliated with Rutgers University. As a result of his comments and song choices, he was terminated from his position. Akademiks and another accomplice were sought for stealing laptops from other students on campus, as was obvious from a Crime Alert poster that was sent by the Rutgers University Campus Police in June 2011.
