After Kendrick Lamar rocked the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Akademiks claimed he was the one who spilled the beans on the song lineup early. He even says the NFL came at him with lawsuit threats.
“Sorry Kendrick that I leaked ur performance,” Akademiks posted on his IG Stories Sunday. “I apologize. U did ya thing tho. … I leaked Kendrick Super Bowl performance hoping he would change it… he ain’t do it… he doubled down. I’m wat the culture was feeling… I tried to save y’all from that.”
Akademiks jumped on IG Live – camera way too close to his face – and broke down how he got his hands on the leaked rehearsal audio. “Let me tell you how got that na Kendrick’s fucking Super Bowl performance,” Ak spilled, after previously sharing then deleting the setlist audio. “A na who worked at the fucking arena’s a chat n***a.” He then claimed the NFL was ready to take him to court.
“The NFL hit me, ‘Ak, we’re going to sue you. Well, do then,” he shared. “They sent me an email this morning. They said, ‘Don’t mention the tracklist.’ That’s coz, apparently, when we leaked it, they got paranoid. You know what I did? I went live on Rumble, shout out to Rumble, I went live on Twitter, and I leaked that bitch. I just wanna show y’all, any of y’all journalists who ever think y’all on my level… Suck a dick.”
Beyond Ak’s drama, Kendrick’s show was a total hit. He took shots at Drake with that UMG lawsuit reference, and while he skipped the “certified pedophile” bar in “Not Like Us,” he got the whole stadium singing “a minor.”
Throughout this whole Drake and K-Dot beef saga, Ak’s been riding hard for Drake. Kendrick even called him out on “6:16 in LA,” that exclusive IG diss track.
Lately, Ak’s been catching heat after reportedly getting kicked off Twitch for an incident where he talked to a 15-year-old about sex and offered to send strippers to his place. He later dropped an apology for the creepy exchange.
