DJ Akademiks Gives Full Details On Toronto Rapper Top5 Getting Stabbed In London, Saying He Has Spoken With Top5 & That He Will Recover Fully While Describing His Injuries, Says The Incident Was NOT Done By Anyone From The UK & Debunks The False Footage #Akademiks #Top5 pic.twitter.com/vfwCTsq28X — Real1Of1TV (@Real1of1TV) July 15, 2025
According to Akademiks, the wound was approximately 17 inches long. He suggested that the attack may have been an attempted murder, noting, 'Somebody definitely tried to kill him.'
Akademiks also addressed speculation circulating online. He refuted claims that a video allegedly showing the stabbing was genuine and clarified that the individual in the footage was not Top5. The rapper reportedly told Akademiks that he was separated from his group when the attack occurred. While taking a photo with a fan outside a club, Top5 said he believed he was followed and was ultimately ambushed.
Akademiks further distanced the attack from broader UK-related tensions. 'This has got nothing to do with the U.K. Respectfully, it did happen in the U.K., but it's some whole other sh*t,' he said, adding that false narratives were being pushed online.
Top5 had previously streamed comments suggesting 'there are no real killers in London,' which some speculated might have incited the attack—claims Akademiks firmly rejected.
