DJ Akademiks Reveals Drake’s Unusual Sleep Schedule

by

It’s no secret that being a touring musician like Drake can take a serious toll on a person’s daily routine. According to DJ Akademiks, however, Drizzy’s bizarre sleep schedule might just be the key to his success. During a recent appearance on the Full Send podcast, the personality opened up about some of his first-ever interactions with the Toronto-born performer. He remembered getting a call from Drake early in the morning, chalking up the unusual timing to his “f*cked” sleep schedule.

“He told me his sleep schedule, which I’m like, ‘That’s f*cked,’” he explained. “Drake is like, ‘Yo, I stay up all night and go to sleep at like 9 a.m. every day. Then I wake up like early afternoon, and I go do regular sh*t.’ I’m like, ‘That’s what it takes to be number one. That’s some cr*zy sh*t.’”

Drake Stays Up All Night & Sleeps All Day, According To DJ Akademiks

As for why Drake decided to call Ak so early in the morning, he says the rapper was trying to get him to apologize to SZA. The streamer had said some unhinged things about the “Kill Bill” singer during a heated online rant last year. Drake, who wanted SZA on For All The Dogs, was trying to make things right. Ak claims he didn’t realize that his comments would upset SZA so much. He was also worried about holding up Drake’s album any longer that he already had. As a result, he decided to apologize.

Ak’s revelation isn’t the only time fans have gotten a glimpse into Drake’s daily schedule, however. Earlier this year, the artist took inspiration from lifestyle influencer Drew Walls, providing his Instagram followers with a vlog of his nighttime routine. What do you think of Drake’s unusual sleep schedule? Are you surprised that he sleeps all day and stays up all night?

Donald Trump Loves Ice Spice

by

Ice Spice earned all sorts of co-signs over the past few months, from Cardi B to Meek Mill, and most recently, Nicki Minaj. However, her latest co-sign was completely unexpected. In the midst of the Manhattan criminal case and ahead of his run for president, Donald Trump sat down with the Full Send Podcast for a second time where he dived into a little game of rapid-fire questions. Kyle Forgeard spat out a few names, asking the former president to provide one-word reactions to each.

The first up was Elon Musk, who Donald Trump described as “smart.” Then, they named Joe Biden, Trump’s nemesis. Unshockingly, the ex-president feels is the complete opposite of the Twitter CEO. Trump called North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un “interesting” and afterward, called Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, “disingenuous.” That isn’t necessarily shocking after Ye revealed that Trump dissed his ex-wife during a meeting. Trump remains as outspoken as ever, which he apparently hopes will secure a second term in office in the 2024 elections.

Trump Reacts To Ice Spice

The Nelk Boys then brought up the Bronx Baddie herself, Ice Spice. “Who the hell is Ice Spice?” Trump asked to a room full of giggles. “You don’t know Ice Spice?” Kyle asked the president before trying to hum the melody to her break-out hit, “Munch.” Aaron “Steiny” Steinberg followed up, saying, “You’ve heard the song.” Trump didn’t confirm whether he’s heard the song or not but the “Princess Diana” rapper appears to be in his good books. “Play it for me,” Trump said before simply stating, “Well, I like it.” 

Ice Spice is certainly winning over the elite. Even though Trump might not appreciate Kim Kardashian, the SKIMS founder has shown her support for the rapper in the past few months. Kim Kardashian recently invited Ice Spice to her home where they shot TikTok videos with North West. Could Ice Spice be Trump’s next celebrity endorsement for the 2024 elections? Probably not but we’re definitely interested in hearing her reaction to his co-sign. Check out the clip above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below. 

Donald Trump Interviewed On Full Send Podcast

by

Former president Donald Trump has been in the news practically every day since he took office. Unfortunately, things have not been looking great for him recently. His indictment by a New York grand jury no doubt has him scrambling for any good publicity he can possibly get. However, the further down the conspiracy rabbit hole the former president goes, the less people in the mainstream media want to do with him. Although Trump still has supporters, his numbers seem to be dwindling. As such, he needs to get his name back out there any way he can. Now, he looks to have joined the ranks of other controversial guests on Full Send Podcast.

Full Send Podcast is a popular show hosted by Nelk, a group of Canadian internet personalities. They were known for their comedic videos on YouTube. In the podcast, Nelk members Jesse Sebastiani, Kyle Forgeard, and Lucas Gasparini discuss a variety of topics, share stories, and bring in guests. The podcast covers areas such as their adventures, experiences in the entertainment industry, comedy, sports, and pop culture. Known for its humor and sometimes controversial content, the Full Send Podcast has gained a large following among Nelk fans and beyond. The podcast often plays host to polarizing guests like Donald Trump, Jr, Ben Shapiro, and now former President Trump himself.

Trump On Full Send: Publicity Stunt Or Platform?

As a former President of the United States and a controversial figure in politics, Donald Trump’s appearance as a guest on the Full Send Podcast would likely generate significant attention. The former president is well-known for his outspoken and unfiltered style. As such, Trump’s presence on the podcast would likely result in an engaging and lively conversation. Trump could potentially share insights and stories about his time in politics. However, given the polarizing nature of Trump’s political career, his appearance on the Full Send Podcast would likely also spark debate and discussion among listeners, with opinions ranging from excitement to criticism.

A picture of the Full Send Podcast hosts posing with Trump was posted online. In the photo, each of them smiling with a thumbs up. This calls into question what type of interview we might be looking at here. Are the hosts planning to ask the former president difficult questions? Or are they there simple to let him speak his piece? It could also be a huge publicity stunt. The real question is whether or not we should be expanding the platform of a person like Trump to begin with. What do you think about the news? Will you listen to the former president’s interview on the podcast? Let us know in the comments!

Stephen A. Smith Tells Heartwarming Kobe Bryant Story

by

Throughout his career, Stephen A. Smith has spoken to some amazing athletes. Furthermore, thanks to his standing as an incredibly famous journalist, he has a lot of relationships. Overall, this can be overwhelming especially when you give your opinion for a living. Not everyone is going to be okay with what you have to say about them, and Smith has certainly experienced that. For instance, Smith has been very forthcoming about his relationship with none other than Kobe Bryant. Over the years, this relationship hasn’t always been perfect.

However, Smith has always been adamant about the mutual respect these two had for one another. Kobe was a master of his domain and Smith was the same in the world of sports commentary. Moreover, the two would enjoy talking to each other at events and always made it a point to say hello. During a recent appearance on the Full Send Podcast, Smith told an incredible story about the last time he saw Kobe. Overall, it was very heartwarming, and it will make fans miss the Lakers legend a whole lot more.

Stephen A. & Kobe

“Kobe Bryant & I saw each other 3 weeks before he died,” Smith began. “We were at a party… We kept hugging each other for like 15 min… What I remember about that night is I had never seen him that happy ever in all the years that I knew him.” It is a sad story for Smith to have told considering the tragedy that would take place a few weeks later. As many are aware, Kobe and his daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash. Additionally, seven others lost their lives, making it a horrific tragedy that affected so many.

Based on the way Smith talks about Kobe, you can tell just how much he loved the former NBA star. Kobe Bryant was a very special person, and anyone who met him can attest to that. Overall, there is no doubt that Kobe’s legacy will be kept alive forever. Hopefully, the NBA continues to honor him appropriately. Let us know what you thought of Stephen A.’s story, in the comments below.

OJ Simpson On Khloé Kardashian’s Paternity: “The Rumour Ain’t True”

by

It’s no secret that Khloé Kardashian doesn’t exactly resemble her siblings. While they stand closer to five feet in height, she’s a whopping 5’10” and has bright green eyes that stand out in contrast to the dark brown ones on the rest of her family members. In the past, her genetics have long been a joke within the family – so much so, in fact, that she once took a paternity test on an episode of their OG reality series.

While matriarch Kris Jenner has maintained that her ex, Rob Kardashian, is the Good American founder’s father, others have been long convinced that it’s actually OJ Simpson. As you may remember, Khloé’s father was one of the accused murderer’s lawyers before his tragic death due to lung cancer.

Though talk of the mother of two’s paternity has died down lately (people are much more concerned with the ongoing paternity scandals of her own baby daddy), the 75-year-old has the internet talking once again after appearing on the Full Send Podcast.

“I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice. But, you know… I was — I was dating supermodels!” he said of gossip regarding him and the marketing mogul previously hooking up.

Simpson went on to say, “The rumour ain’t true. Nowhere even close to being true.” When the host teased him, “Some people think you might be Khloé Kardashian’s real dad,” he quickly made it known, “No… No, I’m not.”

As Radar Online notes, this isn’t the first time the controversial athlete has spoken about the gossip. “You know, Rob Kardashian, he was like a brother to me. He was a great guy,” he wrote on Twitter in 2019.

“He met and married Kris and they really had a terrific time together, when they were together. Unfortunately, that ended. But never — and I want to stress, never, in any shape or form — have I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.”

Elsewhere in his appearance on Full Send, allegations regarding Simpson’s involvement in his ex-wife’s murder were brought up. Naturally, he swiftly avoided them and let it be known that the past trauma isn’t something he’s willing to discuss.

Nav Reveals Why Drake Does Not Appear On ‘Demons Protected By Angels’: ‘We Could’ve Done A Better Song’

by

Over the years, there have been multiple cases of rappers or producers withholding big features from their albums because it “wasn’t the right time” (Rick Ross removing Pusha T from “Maybach Music VI”), they didn’t want one song to overshadow the entire project (Swizz Beatz not placing “Just Because” with Jay-Z, Nas, and DMX on Poison) or various other reasons. In the most recent case of this confusing phenomenon, NAV spoke on why his collaboration with Drake did not make it on his new album Demons Protected By Angels.

In the “Myself” artist’s recent appearance on Full Send Podcast, he told the hosts “We did a song. I feel we could’ve done a better song and the timeframe was just not good, it didn’t work out.” He continued on saying “He’s such a big artist that I didn’t want to put the song on the album and have it take away from anything else on the album. You know, take away life from all the other moments.”

Co-host Kyle Forgeard was bewildered and replied, “So you had a song with Drake and you’re purposefully not putting it on your album? That’s pretty crazy.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, NAV had nothing but positive things to say about the “Six God,” saying “Drake’s an amazing person and we hang out all the time in Toronto.”

Demons Protected By Angels was released on Friday (September 9) with features from Future, Travis Scott, Gunna, Bryson Tiller, and more. Though the decision was questionable, the hope is that maybe one day this collaboration will see the light of day.

DaBaby’s Burger King Meal Was Pulled After His Homophobic Comments At Rolling Loud Miami 2021

A prevailing narrative, that has often been proven true, is that good music will successfully “un-cancel” an artist. Anyone can make a problematic statement or do something off-putting, but as long as the hits keep rolling in, they can continue on a somewhat normal path to stardom. DaBaby learned in 2021 that that may not be the case in his situation. The rapper was set to debut his own Burger King meal collaboration but revealed in a recent trip to Full Send Podcast that the fast food powerhouse halted the effort after his homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami 2021.

In a clip posted to Twitter, the “Suge” artist shares that the “Jonathan Kirk Meal,” titled after his real name to push forward the authenticity of Burger King’s ingredients, was well underway. “I shot a commercial for it and everything,” he told the Kyle Forgeard Full Send co-hosts. However, the planning for it occurred right around the controversial Rolling Loud set that turned many against him and Burger King pulled the plug.

Though the rapper appeared to have come to terms with it, speaking on the matter a year later, there was an air of dismissiveness in his tone that matches the many defenses he made for his actions following the festival. For those curious about the meal itself, DaBaby shared that he insisted the burger had no mayonnaise to which a few of the Full Send co-hosts enthusiastically added their disdain for the condiment.

DaBaby Expresses His Support For Donald Trump: ‘Trump Is A Gangsta, He Let Kodak Out’

DaBaby was deemed charismatic and personable at the onset of his mainstream consciousness. His fun rap songs matched his silly demeanor and southern drawl. Most of all, he simply didn’t say anything off-putting that would offend a large community of people. That changed last year at Rolling Loud 2021, when he made multiple homophobic comments and surprised attendees by bringing out Tory Lanez, who has been all but blackballed after his ongoing legal battle with Megan Thee Stallion. DaBaby’s reputation continually soured as he double down on both actions and his recent comments about Donald Trump in his July 22 appearance on Full Send Podcast may not help his case.

The show’s host Kyle Forgeard asked the “Rockstar” rapper how he feels about the former United States President, to which DaBaby emphatically replied “Do I f*** with Trump? Now, hell yeah.” Forgeard followed up by asking “What made you f*** with him?” and the North Carolina artist answered with “Trump is a gangsta. N**** let Kodak out,” in reference to Trump pardoning Florida rapper Kodak Black on his final day in office.

Forgeard and his co-host added how Trump also pardoned Lil Wayne, to which DaBaby expressed relief. He pivoted his commentary to the media, saying “Media make an ant look like a f***** dinosaur.” The Full Send hosts then asked if he saw their interview with Donald Trump on the show which was deleted just 12 hours after its release.

Image repair doesn’t seem to be on DaBaby’s agenda, so time will tell what these comments add to his currently negative perception.

Snoop Dogg Reeled Off An Eclectic List Of Who His Favorite Rappers Are Right Now

Snoop Dogg just did a very revealing interview on the Full Send Podcast. Heck, the “Gin & Juice” rapper has a lot to promote right now. The list of current Snoop Dogg endeavors includes but is not limited to: Acquiring the rights to the Death Row Records catalog, the Mount Westmore supergroup, his recent appearance on the Super Bowl Halftime show, and his American Song Contest with Kelly Clarkson. At this rate, the Snoop Dogg promotion tour might never end, and in between revealing the alarmingly high amount of money he charges for a guest verse, he also reeled off a list of his favorite rappers in the game right now.

“What’s like three people, or one or two people you like?” host Kyle Forgeard asks. Snoop thinks for a second and gives a far more thorough response than Forgeard was likely anticipating: “Uhh… who do I f****** really like? I like NBA YoungBoy. I like DaBaby, Lil Baby, 42 Dugg. I like Future. I like Gunna. Young Thug, Jack Harlow, Benny The Butcher… there’s a lot of motherf*ckers I like.”

He’s eclectic, we’ll give him that. Watch the full episode of Snoop Dogg’s appearance on the Full Send Podcast here.

Some of the artists mentioned here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Snoop Dogg Revealed How Much He Charges For Feature Verses — And It’s A Lot

Those Snoop Dogg guest verses make the rounds and turns out they ain’t cheap either. Snoop Dogg, who most recently teased a collaboration with BTS, appeared on the Full Send Podcast this week and in a more than hour-long conversation. He talked about everything from Jackass and lacing blunts, to favorite rappers and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. But when he revealed what his standard rate is for a guest verse on a track, listeners’ jaws were surely dropping.

“How much would it cost to get on a song?,” co-host Bob Menery asks the rapper. To which he answers point blank, “$250,000.” He then adds that for that rate, “You’ll get about 16 bars.” He also elaborated that the fee gets doubled if and when he appears in the music video for the song, “And when it’s time to do the video, I need to get another $250,000 up out of you. And you only got an hour so get to filming.”

The man is all business. And let’s face it, you don’t get to a point in your career where you’ve acquired the rights to the legendary Death Row Records catalog by not capitalizing on every appearance. It makes you wonder whether he’ll charge BTS $250,000 to appear on what will surely be a mutually beneficial collaboration?
