DJ Akademiks discussed Drake's reaction to negative reviews of his latest album, including his public confrontation with Charlamagne. Vlad and Akademiks recall that they've repeatedly supported and praised Drake, insinuating that his lashing out is misplaced. They ponder Drake's expectations for universal love, and suggest the album might be his first stumble, leading to his sensitivity. DJ Akademiks reflects that Drake's tense relationship with the media likely stems from being ridiculed when he was starting out, sharing beliefs that he's carried a chip on his shoulder ever since. They ended by drawing parallels between Drake's actions and Nicki Minaj's history of publicly calling out her critics.
