DJ Akademiks Loses It After Kendrick Lamar Lands Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance

DJ Akademiks went off in a rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday night after the NFL announced that Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show. He accused JAY-Z of colluding against Drake by helping his ongoing rival host an even bigger version of The Pop Out event.

“The NFL just gave Kendrick Lamar a global ‘Pop Out’ show… Jay Z I see u n****h… u ain’t low…,” Ak began a series of posts. In more, he added: “Jay Z and roc nation responsible for curating the Super Bowl half time show… remember that. Metroboomin waiting by the phone for Kendrick Lamar to call him n invite him to the Super Bowl performance to get his 16 off with his lil MPC. Every n***a at the pop out event w Kendrick texting him rn like ‘PART 2 @ SUPERBOWL?? BIG HOMIE?!!’ Drake and J Cole rapped ‘Big As the What.. Big As the Super Bowl’ And Jay Z just made Kendrick Lamar the headliner of the Super Bowl. Nah n***a dis sh*t is wild … this sh*t crazy.”
