DJ Akademiks delved into Drake's recent absence from chart-topping hit releases, highlighting that the artist's presence on the Billboard 100 has dwindled since April 2022. Addressing comparisons to Ja Rule’s decline, DJ Akademiks argued that Drake's career trajectory is vastly different, citing Drake’s dominance over the past 12 to 13 years and his wide-reaching appeal across various music genres. Despite concerns about reduced impact, Akademiks suggests that Drake is merely re-evaluating his approach, including reduced label dependency, as seen in his recent releases and promotional strategies. The conversation also touched upon Drake’s gesture of generosity towards Young Thug, revealing that Drake gifted him $1 million upon his release from jail.
