Internet personality DJ Akademiks recently took to X to opine on the like and dislike ratio on Drake’s official YouTube channel. The former took to the social networking site to opine that netizens were “hate-botting” his songs. This comes after Champagne Papi’s recent feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
As the streamer shared his beliefs online, many took to the internet to claim that they were not pleased with Drizzy’s music anymore. One netizen commented:

“Either n**gas hating on Drake or n**gas hate botting his latest releases.”
DJ Akademiks then referred to Drake’s tracks Family Matters, The Heart Part 6 and the latter’s song U My Everything, which featured Sexyy Red. Akademiks, whose real name is Livingston Allen, said:
“His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. The heart part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy redd song. And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal.”
For those uninitiated, Family Matters has accumulated over 400,000 dislikes, The Heart Part 6 has amassed over 1.6 million dislikes, and U My Everything holds over 94,000 dislikes.

Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and Future’s Like That tops the Billboard charts following a feud with Drake
As the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud seemingly comes to a stop, the former’s collaboration with Metro Boomin and Future titled Like That has topped Billboard’s airplay charts—mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.
The song was released in response to Drake and J. Cole’s song First Person Shooter, where Drizzy and Cole claimed that they and Kendrick were the “big three” when it came to the rap music scene. In response, Kendrick crooned in Like That:
“Motherf**k the big three, ni*ga, it’s just big me.”
Kendrick Lamar and Drizzy have released multiple diss tracks towards each other since First Person Shooter and Like That. Kendrick Lamar threw shade at Drizzy with the songs Euphoria, 6:16 in LA, Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us. The Canadian rapper released his diss tracks, Push Ups, Taylor Made Freestyle and Family Matters.
As Kendrick Lamar continues to top the charts, with Not Like Us also making it to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100, neither YouTube nor Drizzy have commented on Drizzy’s songs, receiving fake dislikes on the video and music streaming platforms.
