In a surprising turn of events, DJ Akademiks, a well-known Drake supporter, has crowned Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show as the 'Moment of the Year'. Despite his loyalty to Drake, Akademiks couldn't ignore the impact of Lamar's performance, which had the entire hip-hop world buzzing.
As reported by CY Chels on Twitter, Akademiks admitted, 'Kendrick's Super Bowl was the moment of the year.' The show not only broke records but also sparked controversy, as Lamar's lyrics were scrutinized amidst a lawsuit. The anticipation and subsequent performance left viewers in awe, with Akademiks recalling the powerful moment vividly.
But here's where it gets controversial: Akademiks, a vocal critic of Kendrick Lamar, has not always been so complimentary. He has previously targeted both the artist and his fans, even questioning their authenticity. And yet, he couldn't deny the significance of Lamar's Super Bowl appearance, which he compared to the impact of Lamar's song 'Control'.
Akademiks' support for Drake is evident, especially with his recent claims that Drake's ICEMAN album tour might surpass Lamar's worldwide tour record. This ongoing rivalry between the two artists and their fan bases adds an intriguing layer to the story.
