Akademiks Defends Kendrick Lamar Amid Accusations of Stolen Drake Diss Lyrics

In a surprising turn of events, Akademiks has come to the defense of Kendrick Lamar amidst accusations that the rapper stole lyrics for his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” from Twitter. Despite being known as a die-hard Drake fan, Akademiks acknowledged Kendrick’s genius and gave him credit for the song during a recent live stream on Rumble.

Addressing a viral post that highlighted older tweets from fans that resembled lyrics in Kendrick’s song, Akademiks dismissed the accusations of theft as mere coincidence. He praised Kendrick for his creativity and admitted that the song, while a bit simplified, was effective in its delivery.

However, despite supporting Kendrick in this instance, Akademiks still believes that Drake ultimately won the battle between the two rappers. In a recent appearance on the Flagrant podcast, he argued that Drake came out on top in their back-and-forth exchange.

While Akademiks praised Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” track, he pointed out that the majority of the battle was dominated by Kendrick’s personal attacks on Drake’s character. He suggested that if these accusations were proven false, it could potentially damage Kendrick’s credibility in the feud.

Overall, Akademiks’ defense of Kendrick Lamar adds an interesting twist to the ongoing drama between the two rappers, shedding light on the complexities of their lyrical warfare.
