Akademiks playfully swerved a handshake from Central Cee after the British rapper was caught with his hand in his pants.
The podcaster was live from Las Vegas on Saturday (October 25) during ComplexCon 2025, and had a quick chat with Cench, who performed on night two of the event. Around the seven-minute mark of the interview below, Ak gave Cee his props as an artist who's "out rapping" others whether they're in the UK or stateside.
"Flowers, I appreciate. That opinion matters. If you got anything other than flowers to give me, it really doesn't matter to me," the "Limitless" rapper said. "If the UK don't want to give me props or certain platform don't want to give me props, it doesn't matter to me innit."
After sharing that he has "no worries about anyone's opinion," Ak announced that he was signing off and went in to give the rapper dap before realizing that Cee had his right hand in his pants the entire time.
"Oh, hold on," Ak joked. "You just had your hand in your pants. Like this n***a trying to dab me up."
Cench laughed it off and went in to hug the podcaster and said that Ak also tried to dap him up. "You've got to be like, 'Yo, left hand," Ak said.
ComplexCon was a busy time for both Cee and Ak, as the podcaster also hosted a conversation with DDG at the event. During the chat, Ak clarified that he's never used Ozempic and credited his lifestyle changes to "working out and learning to eat good and not drinking lean" like fellow streamer Adin Ross.
