DJ Akademiks Claps Back At Joe Budden For Telling Him To Stop Covering Drake & Kendrick Lamar

DJ Akademiks says he refuses to stop covering Drake and his feud with Kendrick Lamar after Joe Budden and others in hip-hop media suggested he do so. Discussing Ak’s bias towards the Toronto rapper on a recent episode of his podcast, Budden argued that no one is buying what he’s been selling. “Ak is the one on stream during the NBA finals,” he said. “Good journalistic sh*t you was doing, but you gotta know that any Drake news coming from you is viewed through a different type of eye.” Akademiks began his rant by arguing that there’s an ecosystem promoting the idea that Drake is washed up and Lamar is now the “king” of hip-hop. “I’m sorry, I listen to Kendrick like once a month. I listen to Drake everyday,” he remarked.
