Drake<\/a> and Kendrick Lamar <\/a>are once again on a collision course since Drake reportedly has it in his mind that he needs revenge.<\/p>\n The Toronto megastar gears up for his ninth studio album ICEMAN<\/em> and, according to DJ Akademiks, a massive 2026 global run intended to challenge the record books.<\/p>\n Akademiks raised eyebrows during a recent stream when he claimed Drake wants to topple Kendrick\u2019s worldwide touring crown. Weird. First of all, he\u2019s got to contend with Travis Scott already doing that. <\/p>\n Kendrick currently holds the highest grossing Hip-Hop tour ever with his Grand National trek, but I believe ol boy should read AllHipHop more. <\/p>\n Drake still holds the title for the biggest touring numbers in the United States, per Ak. Akademiks believes Drake is ready to chase the global title once and for all.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Drake wants to beat the world record going into next year,\u201d Akademiks said in a clip captured on X. \u201cI think he\u2019s saying \u2018Yo I don\u2019t need an agent really. But if I\u2019m gonna have an agent my agent\u2019s not gonna rep my opp. F*ck that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The timing of the claim landed right as momentum around ICEMAN<\/em> continues to build. The album still does not have a public release date yet insiders have been buzzing for weeks that Drake is preparing a rollout that will hit soon. Akademiks doubled down during an earlier livestream where he revealed Drizzy has been locked into the studio and zeroed in on crafting something major for supporters.<\/p>\n I take this with a grain of salt since homie is Team Drizzy. <\/p>\n \u201cYo Drake been off the road he\u2019s cooking up and it\u2019s a beautiful thing for all Drake fans,\u201d he said. \u201cNow we\u2019re going to get what we really want from The Boy. N***a hit me. He says \u2018Ak the stove is hot!\u2019 I\u2019m just letting y\u2019all know\u2026.\u2018Remember I told y\u2019all.\u2019 The Boy is confirming man the cook-up is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Akademiks pushed fans to give Drake room to operate as he wraps the project.<\/p>\n \u201cLet my boy live in peace no livestreams collabs or whatever right now,\u201d he added. \u201cNo random distractions. We don\u2019t want no tings trying to jump out. Let my boy cook and whenever he\u2019s done cheffing we gon\u2019 have a good time man. We\u2019re about to go through one of those again I like it.\u201d<\/p>\n We? OK. <\/p>\n If Akademiks is right Drake could be preparing his own version of a takeover or it could be the biggest flop in history. They are doing too much. Let it drop and let it rock. ICEMAN<\/em> could be dope, this anticipation stuff is overdoing it! <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nRelated<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
