DJ Akademiks has clarified that the leaked Drake DMs circulating online are not genuine. Drake has recently found himself in several controversies, and this week has been no different. On January 7, Chris Blake Griffith shared screenshots on Instagram that purportedly showed direct messages exchanged with Drake.
In the alleged messages, Drake appeared to comment on his legal issues with Universal Music Group. One of the messages read, "Me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about Lebron cheating on his wife," adding, "Not Adidas or Reebok... Nike the company he been with since he started. My situation is not no street sh*t."
Shortly after Griffith's post, DJ Akademiks addressed the situation on X, claiming the messages were fabricated. "This is a fake DM," he stated, citing Drake as his source. He added, "Drake called buddy a Rat….. He got mad and made up some fake DM to try to make the blogs and go viral. End of story." The alleged DMs also referenced Griffith's earlier accusations that Stefon Diggs drugged and attempted to sexually assault him.
Griffith had previously made these allegations in an Instagram post in October, where he also mentioned a confrontation with Diggs’ brother, Darez, also known as Marsean. Griffith alleged, "Weeks later after his failed sexual attempt on me (bc I don’t play like that and never have), Marsean realized that I was no longer affiliated w/ his half-brother, and because he’s broke, he saw a gap in what was once a strong relationship between his brother and I, and tried to rob my crib for my chrome hearts collection."
Griffith further claimed, "They gon run a narrative about theft to protect the fact that he drugged me and then triedddd to 'TRY ME.'" He emphasized his stance, saying, "I respectfully live my life as a 100% STRAIGHT MAN that doesn’t dabble in experimentation unlike him, but the truth needs no motivation — it’ll surface as need be. I produce receipts like a printer."
Akademiks TV later shared footage of the alleged altercation on X, adding that Griffith may have faked the Drake DMs after the rapper declined to assist him in exposing Diggs. However, this claim has not been verified.
