Akademiks prides himself on knowing all the dirt when it comes to rap and R&B — he’s basically made an entire career out of gossiping. So when the former Everyday Struggle co-host jumps on Twitch, he usually has some bit of information that becomes internet fodder.
More recently, Akademiks predicted Drake would be releasing another album as the follow-up to Certified Lover Boy or, at the very least, a single.
“Here’s the great thing about Drake,” he said around the 8:26-mark. “I think Drake is going to drop more music. First of all, he’s aware of what people perceive his career like, if it’s trending up or down. I think he’s gonna drop new music in the next two months, facts. Or he’s gonna drop a single.”

Certified Lover Boy was released on September 3 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 610,000 total album-equivalent units earned in its first week, the biggest debut of 2021.
The 21-track project remained in the coveted spot for two more weeks before NBA YoungBoy managed to dethrone the 6 God with Sincerely, Kentrell.

According to HITS Daily Double, NBA YoungBoy’s featureless project pulled in over 137,000 total album-equivalent units to nab the top spot, while CLB held on to the No. 2 position.
CLB served as Drake’s sixth studio album and boasted contributions from Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Giveon, JAY-Z, Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, Yebba, 21 Savage, Project Pat, Tems, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Kid Cudi.
Akademiks is a fool!
CLB wasn’t it that’s why he dropping again
Akademiks will sell his mama for a double cheeseburger…
All of sudden AK Working as Drake’s Spoke person lol
Well, the first one didn’t have a single hit on it that click bots and the label didn’t pay to have chart. Drake’s handlers are definitely going to pull back on the investment for the next album. There wasn’t a “Hotline Bling” or any incessant song you hear everywhere off of this one. It’s a good day for Hip-hop when this plant takes one on the chin. Dude played himself out and hasn’t realized it yet.
I understand what you’re saying but it doubled the next biggest album released this year…. He’ll probably be number 1 next week again.
Number 1 don’t mean $%*+!. Some people actually listen to music to hear good music. CLB was garbage down to the cover art. Drake should retire and give The Weekend his style back
He still living out of tekashi’s rainbow ass?
CLB was trash. Anyone who say otherwise straight up lying
It’ll probably be a “CLB – Plan B” all the aborted songs.
