One thing I hate about Kendrick fans is that they LIE so much.
Kendrick had vinyls and physicas, Drake is doing all this with only streams.
Kendrick had YouTube/BOTS Streams for billboard, Drake did not have that because laws changed from Billboard
Your Stats are full of LIES.
🚨 Akademiks says the “Kendrick effect” has people trying to make everything Drake does about race
Ak accuses the Mallory Bros of pandering, saying they criticized Drake’s friendship with Sexyy Red over “blackness” while previously telling Drake to “pop out with a white girl.”
He argues they’re trying to psychoanalyze Drake’s friendships, says not everything is calculated, and claims people need to stop acting like they know why Drake chooses to be around certain people.
There something about her eyes tho, homie better get ready she gon put it on him soon…. Mf don’t miss… I was waiting on lil man to say "leave my mommy alone" 😂
In 2024, they said Drake’s career was over
Fast-forward to 2026, and now they’re talking about “aura” and reheating the same old ghostwriting lies lmao
Shaq says LeBron James is under pressure to win a ring this year with the Philadelphia sixers especially with jaylen brown and tyrse maxey . And the person who’s under the most pressure is Joel Embiid
I can assure you the reason “I’m Still in Love With You” is my favorite New Edition song ever is b/c it was also infused in our family shows like “Family Matters”—this was the proper way to merge generations✊🏾
Bring back Musical Guests on sitcoms to promote the music ‼️🔥
I still remember when Stephen Urkel joined New Edition on “Family Matters” 🔥🔥🔥
I used to think Laura was the luckiest girl in the world. 🤣🥹
Our ✊🏾 culture always won and gave us unforgettable moments ✨
“Michael” will begin streaming August 10 on Starz.
The Michael Jackson biopic is one of the biggest movies of the year with $1 billion earned at the worldwide box office.

Jay Z added a Second date I'm LA for his Tour.
Same day as Drake's 40th birthday.
For sure the leprechaun will pop out and they might have a song together.
The media will Crown the moment as the "next big thing"
I will come back to this post.
I have receipts as usual‼️💯
Joe Budden had smoke for Drake in late April 2026. On the pod, he declared Iceman*a straight "make-or-break" moment‼️ post-Kendrick beef, the pressure was on‼️. Sales‼️, streams‼️, cultural reset‼️ Drake had to deliver or risk fading‼️💯. Numbers weren’t just stats; they were the verdict‼️💯.
Fast-forward to July: Rick Ross drops "Set in Stone". Modest debut (17-26k units, pure sales ~2k)‼️😂, trolling from 50 Cent‼️😌, outside the top 20‼️💯. Suddenly the tone flips⁉️.
Suddenly Budden and company pivot hard⁉️ “Numbers don’t matter for a vet like Ross.”⁉️ It’s about legacy, the music, the tour, the boss lifestyle⁉️. Ross slides on the pod, and the convo glides past charts into vibes and resilience⁉️😂.
This is the Classic selective rules I keep pointing out‼️💯 When Drake drops, first-weeks are gospel‼️⁉💯 proof of relevance or decline‼️. When a favored veteran underperforms⁉️ “It’s deeper than numbers, fam.”‼️ Same podcast‼️, same host‼️, two wildly different measuring sticks‼️💯.
This is hip-hop media in a nutshell‼️💯 it weaponize metrics against the guy you’re skeptical of‼️, then preach “art over algorithms” when it suits the narrative‼️💯.
Consistent standards are Rare‼️💯
Everyone gets a pass except for one man‼️
Drake‼️💯
Every Drake opp got the same rollout: cry in interviews, blame Drake, flop anyway 😭
🪵 Set in stone: 12.2k first week sales
💿 Take care: 21.2k 779th week sales
Anyway…the OVO members weren’t havin it when Rick Ross was on bs during his sympathy press run:
Joe Budden pod got me crying 😭
•So Drake has “no fanbase.”
•We’re all “bots.”
But somehow those same imaginary fans bullied Rick Ross into going double wood? 😭
Y’all got us sounding like the Avengers when it’s time to explain a Home Depot debut.🪵💀
In 2017, Kanye West split with Tidal and terminated their rights to his exclusive music due to an alleged failure to meet their financial obligations
