DJ Akademiks popped up on Drake's IG Live last night to help Drizzy promote his new mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tape.

It was a real slurp-fest, with Ak and Drake telling each other how great they thought the other one was.

But there may have been a method to Drake's praise.

After buttering Ak up, Drake requested that the Internet personality do a big shot of Hennessy, which is apparently the only thing Ak drinks and had been drinking.  (Drake was drinking wine and champagne.)

Ak ended up doing a substantial shot.

"I respect you for doing that shot, I feel bad for you in 15 minutes, but I respect you for doing that shot," Drake said after Ak went bottoms up. "I'm going to get off Live right now and get on whatever Live you are doing because that's going to be crazy."

It wasn't really crazy, in the traditional sense of the word, because Ak straight passed out as his cam continued to roll and his girl Angelica had to come and get him off the Livestream.

Drink responsibly.
