In an unexpected reveal, social media personality Akademiks has disclosed that Kendrick Lamar features on the highly anticipated Playboi Carti album. During a live stream, Akademiks expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing that contrary to speculation, Drake will not appear on the project. He stated, “There’s no Drake on that album,” and noted that Kendrick is involved in the creative direction of the entire project.

Akademiks hinted at some lyrical tension between Kendrick and Drake, suggesting that Kendrick’s verses might contain subtle jabs directed at the latter. He explained that while Kendrick does not explicitly diss Drake, there are lines that could be interpreted as commentary on the ongoing legal issues involving Drake, mentioning “the lawsuit” and alluding to unnamed informants.

In praising Kendrick’s contributions, Akademiks referred to him as “creative directing the whole [album],” indicating that Kendrick’s influence will shape the sound and direction of Carti’s work. He described Kendrick’s involvement as a significant endorsement, dubbing him Carti’s “evil twin,” which reinforces the bond between the two artists.

The album’s release has been delayed, and Akademiks speculated that changes were being made to the tracklist. He emphasized that the rollout schedule for major platforms often dictates such delays, which could explain the extended wait for fans eagerly anticipating new music.

In closing, Akademiks reassured fans that despite rumors of rivalry, Carti and Drake maintain a cordial relationship. He encouraged listeners not to fuel unnecessary drama between the two artists, highlighting the collaborative spirit within the hip-hop community. As anticipation builds, fans are left to wonder what surprises the new album will hold when it finally drops.
