"Since Meek Mill cancelled me and got me fired from Complex and banned for life from Twitch... I gotta resurrect my rap career... LIL AK is back reporting live from the otherside of the TRENCHES!!!!!!! UBER EATS FREESTYLE OTW," Ak typed on IG.

We already knew Ak had been suspended from his Complex show Everyday Struggle and from Twitch for his ugly words about Chrissy Teigen.

Now both platforms may have made his absence permanent.  Or he may just be mocking Meek Mill, here.  Ak is the troll king Tekashi 6ix9ine's bestie, after all.

Even if he was fired, Ak's YouTube dollars are still there, so he doesn't really need to rap.

What do you think is going on?
