DJ Akademiks offered his take on Kendrick Lamar's perceived dig during the height of the Kendrick-Drake battle. Despite the rap showdown seemingly drawing to a close, Akademiks believes there was more to Kendrick's comment than meets the eye. Akademiks recalled Kendrick stating that he looked "compromised," referencing their conflict in 2016. Akademiks interpreted this not as a diss but as a strategic acknowledgment of his Drake allegiance. He expressed surprise that Kendrick didn't take a harsher shot, and even viewed it as a subtle shoutout.
Akademiks, a vocal Drake supporter, also touched on how he feels the battle was perceived and its impact on his platform. He maintained that Kendrick's tactic helped neutralize his bias, ensuring discussions remained balanced. Despite holding reservations about the battle's outcome, Akademiks acknowledged Kendrick's skill and clever maneuvers, admitting his increased respect for him. However, he remains hesitant to fully concede Kendrick's victory, emphasizing Drake's continuous dominance in the rap game.
