DJ Akademiks Says Drake Called Him After He Dissed SZA

by Daryl Nelson

Remember when DJ Akademiks went off on SZA about her weight, and the president of her label Punch Henderson came to her defense?

Well, Punch isn't the only one who got at AK over the diss, so did Drake through a phone call.

"When Drake called me [about SZA] I was like [what?]" said Ak on VladTV. "Drake was like, she’s a very close friend of his. It was a very friendly call. He was just kind of trying to see what I thought about it because he was like ‘Ak, I rock with you too.’ They were doing the album at the time and he was like, ‘She’s affected by things like that.'"

"And I guess he was just like, ‘There’s gotta be some middle ground here,’ and I just was like, ‘Honestly, that was an ax I had to grind from a couple years ago," he went on. "I got it off and I don’t got no issue with her. I love her.' And I actually went back on my platform and said, ‘Listen I’m sending you nothing but love and light and I’ll continue to do so.'"

Are you surprised that Drake contacted DJ Akademiks over the diss?
