"It’s really never over"- DJ Akademiks comments on Drake's feud with Kendrick Lamar
DJ Akademiks has been one of the key commentators in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud which comprised multiple raps back and forth, making it one of the most popular rap battles of recent times. In a recent stream on Rumble dated July 19, 2024, Akademiks hinted at Drizzy releasing a sneak diss on Kendrick Lamar.
The podcaster mentioned on the stream:
“It’s sneak dissin’ time. It’s really never over. I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss.”
Akademiks also mentioned that he won't share what he has heard but the first sneak diss by Drake targeting Kendrick Lamar will be interesting based on "how he positions it".
While Drake hasn't commented on the same or announced a new diss track, this is not the first instance of DJ Akademiks hinting that Drizzy might get back at Lamar with a new track.
On July 9, 2024, the podcaster took to X to address those who were spreading rumors of Drake being finished, especially after Kendrick Lamar's The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert.
In his tweet, DJ Akademiks mentioned:
"All u n****s who been acting like Drake finished... bookmark this tweet for 6 months from now. We dont want u n****s no where near us......Remember that."
In a follow-up tweet on the same day, Akademiks addressed Drizzy's critics asking them to enjoy "all the other noise" and announced that the One Dance rapper has new music on the way, describing the music as "fye".
While Akademiks has always been vocal about his support toward Drake, the podcaster's stream reviewing Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us music video made headlines and raised speculations of Akademiks trying to view things from a neutral perspective.
On July 5, 2024, Akademiks commented on Drizzy while reviewing Lamar's music video, stating that he felt Drake's wings "feel clipped" and that the rapper's "stimulus package" doesn't exist right now.
The podcaster talked about how Drake's last few collaborations weren't doing well, giving the example of the latter's collaboration with Camila Cabello on her new album C, XOXO.
While internet users and prominent personalities like O'Shea Jackson Jr have expressed their opinion on Akademiks' latest claim surrounding Drake, the podcaster hasn't replied to the same yet.
Additionally, Drake himself hasn't confirmed or commented on anything that DJ Akademiks has claimed on the rapper's behalf.
