During a recent livestream, DJ Akademiks claimed that he had spoken with a member of Kendrick Lamar’s team who alleged that Drake had sent them threatening voice messages last year during their beef.
Akademiks mentioned that he had never heard of Drake speaking to Lamar or his team before this incident.
“You should’ve heard this n***a Drake. What he was saying to us before we whipped his ass. This is what he told me,” Akademiks said. “Now, I’m gonna be honest with you. I never knew Drake speaking to anymore. Drake has told me he’s never spoken to Dot directly, but I didn’t know if he spoke to anybody else in and around Dot. Anthony Saleh, he confirms to me, ‘Yes. Drake was sending voicenotes talking crazy, like he’s a mob boss.’ That’s what he says. He says Drake is saying to him, ‘I’m gonna done you,’ talking crazy like, ‘You n****s is washed. You guys think you can finish ME?!?'”
Akademiks then said that the member of Lamar’s team described “Not Like Us” as the “bomb,” noting that Drake didn’t send anymore voice messages after that.
As the clip of Akademiks has circulated on social media, fans have been laughing off the alleged threats.
“Drake, the same fake mob boss that filed the federal lawsuit?” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referencing the defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group. Another added: “Imagine talking that spicy and then suing the label for not censoring the response.”
