DJ Akademiks says the reason Drake doesn't have a #1 album is that he doesn't have a radio team. I guess making good music is irrelevant 😒

🚨 DJ Akademiks Reacts To Drake’s Nike NOCTA Manor Retreat Instagram Post, Says The Rap Star Is Reflecting On The “War” He’s Been Through Over The Last Two Years 👀 While discussing Drake’s recent Nike NOCTA Manor Retreat Instagram post, DJ Akademiks said the rapper’s caption shows he’s reflecting on everything he has endured over the past two years. According to Akademiks, some people continue to act as if Drake never faced any real adversity, but he believes Drake himself has made it clear that the past couple of years have been a battle. 🗣️ Akademiks: “If you ask Drake, he would tell you the last two years of his life he was fighting for his life. There’s no way he looks at it like everything was roses.” Akademiks also pointed to a chain Drake gifted him, saying the engraving on the back referenced the battles they had been through together, which he believes further reflects Drake’s mindset. Ak added that Drake’s lengthy Instagram caption appears to acknowledge the challenges he has overcome while emphasizing resilience and proving himself despite the criticism.

He claims the crowd don’t sing Drake parts at his shows. At most shows where Ross performs songs featuring Drake like “Aston Martin Music” or “Stay Schemin’” the crowd absolutely raps Drake’s parts word for word. His verses get some of the loudest reactions of the whole set.
