DJ Mustard, a solidified legend from the LA space, not too long ago bought right into a spat on X with rivals-by-association, DJ Akademiks and Drake. Why you ask?

For anybody that has adopted the Drake-Kendrick forwards and backwards in an all out battle with diss information, it appears to be clear as day that Akademiks had a aspect picked very early on within the feud. Arguably, Akademiks’ assist for Drake has prolonged post-beef, with Akademiks always reporting pro-Drake information with as a lot enthusiasm because the occasions he repeatedly reported jabs at Kendrick and crew, from virtually anybody and in every single place.
Since Mustard produced Kendrick‘s remaining blow within the battle, ‘Not Like Us,’ it is just pure to imagine {that a} ‘rival’ would need to carry him down — and it appears to be the precise assumption Mustard made. Secure to say he wasn’t comfortable.

What adopted was a barrage of tweets that Mustard claimed he made while at his son’s basketball recreation, whereas Akademiks continued with the jabs and again ‘n’ forth’s throughout his social media profiles.

However when Akademiks did it, unwell intent was assumed robotically, and virtually as robotically, issues have been mentioned proper again.

Now whether or not the declare is true or not, one should ask themselves — can you actually blame Mustard although? He gave the impression to be completely happy and grateful for having bought 18K models for a undertaking he not solely produced on but additionally rapped on earlier than Akademiks commented on it. And it’s clear that he’s within the hip hop historical past books perpetually with ‘Not Like Us’, so, who actually is in the correct right here? We’ll allow you to determine for your self!
