DJ Akademiks delved into the controversy involving Nicki Minaj, Drake, PartyNextDoor, and Latto. According to Akademiks, Nicki’s feud with Latto began when Latto, who admired Nicki, felt overlooked and snubbed by her idol. This sparked a series of passive-aggressive exchanges between the two. Akademiks explained that Nicki's fans and Nicki herself, who often communicate in a unique code, began to shun Latto, accusing her of sneak-dissing. Matters worsened, leading to a leaked phone conversation where Nicki expressed her discontent, viewing Latto’s actions as betrayal. Nicki Minaj's critical stance wasn’t limited to Latto. She also threw subliminal shots at Drake and PartyNextDoor for their collaboration, drawing comparisons to past instances when she expected unwavering loyalty from her peers. Vlad and Akademiks highlighted the irony of Nicki's position, observing that showing support for emerging artists could have prolonged her reign.
