Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s beef is not over yet as the 6 God is readying a response to the Compton kingpin on an upcoming song — according to Akademiks.
Speaking on his Rumble channel on Thursday (July 18), the media personality, who claims to have been in close contact with Drizzy throughout the high-profile battle, says he has some inside info on the Canadian’s eagerly anticipated next move.

“It’s sneak dissing time. It’s really never over. I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss,” he said. “Matter of fact, I won’t even tell y’all what I heard but the first sneak diss Drake got that’s dissing Kendrick, how he positions it, that’s going to be interesting.”
Despite Akademiks’ excitement, others were less enthused at the prospect of Drake subliminally jabbing Kendrick after appearing to bow out of the feud following the release of “The Heart Part 6.”

“Drake…just let it go bruh. you loss. it’s over. at the end of the day, you’re still drake. just bow out while you still got a little bit of dignity left,” one fan wrote on social media.
Another said: “I just want to hear drake drop any style of music he wants BESIDES SNEAK DISSING KENDRICK.. that battle is over,” while a third user remarked: “Is it really sneak dissing if we all kno who u talking about?”
Akademiks heard something about a "sneak diss" in the Drake/Kendrick beef 🤔

Akademiks has been steadily hyping a Drake comeback since things cooled off in the hotly-contested rap battle.
Earlier this month, the former Everyday Struggle co-host hinted that the OVO Sound hitmaker is sitting on “fire” new music that will help restore his reputation.

“All u n-ggas who been acting like Drake finished… bookmark this tweet for 6 months from now,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “We dont want u n-ggas no where near us……Remember that.”
Soon after, he added: “and yes.. enjoy all the other noise and bs.. Drake new music otw. and its fye…. trust.”
Akademiks has staunchly been in Drake’s corner throughout the beef, even though the wider consensus is that Kendrick Lamar was the big winner.
He also criticized K. Dot’s chart-topping diss song “Not Like Us” which has broken various streaming records previously held by his fierce rival.

“I do like this ‘Not Like Us’ record, but I’ma be honest with you: the majority of this battle before we got to this was Kendrick Lamar sitting back and saying, ‘I’m going to pick you apart as a man — they very fabric of what you portray [yourself] to be. You’ve stolen culture, you’re a bad parent, you’ve made the same mistakes and you won’t live up the responsibility,” he said on Andrew Shultz’s Flagrant podcast.
“And you’re looking at him, like. ‘Damn, maybe this guy is a fraud,’ so now if [these are all] completely lies.”
