Adin Ross said earlier today:
“Drake told me that the people who switched up on him during his beef with Kendrick have now started congratulating him on his ‘Ice Man’ album.” He mentioned names like LeBron James, A$AP Rocky, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd. Adin then said he advised Drizzy not to give them another chance, saying real friends don’t switch up on you during bad times.

🚨 DJ Akademiks breaks down what it was really like hanging with Drake from private jets to conversations and a surprise chain gift.
Akademiks says Drake flew him out to Toronto on a private jet and booked 10 rooms at the Four Seasons like it was nothing 😭
🗣️ “Drake told me, ‘Yo Ak, I’m gonna send you a bird.’ I’m thinking he talking about American Airlines or something… whole time he meant a private jet.” 😂
Ak says the experience showed him the different level Drake lives on daily, joking:
💀 “Drake probably be like, ‘Yo this broke-ass nigga Ak.’”
The biggest moment came when Drake surprised Akademiks with a chain gift. Ak admitted he thought Drake was trolling at first because of how funny Drake acts in person.
😅 “I thought he was pranking me. I didn’t even react crazy at first because I thought he was gonna say, ‘Nah nigga, that’s my chain!’”
Instead, Ak gave Drake an emotional 10-minute speech thanking him and reflecting on their relationship over the years.
🎤 Akademiks revealed one of their earliest conversations was about the unique dynamic between them as the biggest rapper and one of the biggest media personalities in hip hop.
According to Ak, Drake respected that he could criticize him honestly without it coming from hate.
🗣️ Drake allegedly told him:
“When you criticize me and I know it’s genuine, it challenges me.”
Akademiks compared their relationship to LeBron James and Skip Bayless competitive at times, but still built on mutual respect.
🏆 “I’m the top media guy, he’s the top rapper. There’s no number twos.”
Ak also shared a deeper moment where Drake once told him that the real payoff would come years later when both of them are older and retired, sitting together reflecting on everything they went through during their careers.
🥃 Drake allegedly told Ak:
“One day we’ll sit down, have a drink, and laugh about all this.”
Akademiks says the conversation stuck with him because Drake understood they were never supposed to just be “yes men” around each other criticism and pressure were part of what made the relationship real.
👀 Ak ended by debating whether he should release the emotional footage and full speech to the public or keep it private because he knows the internet will clown him for being too since

Akademiks says he talked to Drake about him dropping three albums at once:
"We both agreed, and he's like, 'Yo, this is why I'm different from these guys.' He's like, 'Yo, months later, while these guys are wondering why their guy can't drop nothing, all the girls are gonna be in the party singing all the HABIBTI songs. And in June, MAID OF HONOUR is gonna be going crazy.'"
"My man knows demographics, something that the crip-walking champion does not know. Y'all boy like, 'Squabble Up, Squabble Up,' all that sh*t, man, we ain't trying to do burpees to no song."

👀 🙇🏽♂️💭Imagine spending 2 years meticulously planning and preparing for the biggest album of your career… taking multiple shots at your enemy, spending millions on a year long roll-out, a fireworks show, an Ice Sculpture scavenger hunt, multiple live-stream events… all to get out-streamed on the 2nd day by a 12 track album that was promoted with 1 tweet. Its gotta be heart breaking for someone who cares so heavily about numbers like Drake does 😩🦉💯✌🏾
