It appears that the dust will never settle as far as the rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is concerned. It has been more than a year since Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us” but the wounds are still fresh between both sides. Just ask DJ Akademiks.

Dave Free Confronts DJ Akademiks
Akademiks, a notable hip-hop personality recently attended Kendrick’s and SZA’s Grand National tour in Detroit, Michigan. According to Akademiks, Kendrick Lamar’s close associate, Dave Free checked him about his Drake support during the feud. Even hinted at him being a paid supporter.
“What are you getting from this? Is Drake paying you?” Free allegedly asked the hip-hop influencer.
Akademiks went on to say that he was insulted by Free’s question, given his extensive resume.
“That was the most insulting thing,” Akademiks added.
“And I’ve had conversations with these men for a while. But the very idea that I was like a purchasable commodity was so disgusting. I reminded him, and I said ‘You know I’ve been doing this for over ten years. I’ve been doing this for over 15 years. How did you think I became me?’ I said ‘You knew about me before this sh*t … Did you think I was a cheap h*e that just could be bought?'”
However, it is a valid question. Akademiks is even featured on “Family Matters” one of the songs aimed at Drake. It is a clip from one of his streams during the feud where he says “What top five are you smoking on Kendrick?”
Free also became a pertinent part of Kendrick and Drake’s rap feud. In that same song, “Family Matters” Drizzy alleges that Free had an affair with Kendrick’s fiancee, Whitney Alford. He also alleges that Dave fathered Whitney’s son and not Kendrick.
Drake is rumored to have another project coming in 2025.
