Social Media Influencer Alleges Drake Scammed $2 Million Out Of Him On DJ Akademiks’ Stream

by

“You’rе not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accеpted.” These Kendrick Lamar lyrics on are allegedly coming to light today thanks to a wild story trending online. A social media influencer claims he was scammed out of $2 million in crypto from Drake over an alleged deal. The 20-year-old, who is also a rapper, got on a stream with Drizzy’s biggest supporter, DJ Akademiks, to tell his story. According to him, he was trying to get the help of the Toronto rapper to flip the money and double it. The alleged agreement was that the hitmaker was going to follow this influencer on social media (including his businesses), appear in a music video in Dubai, get introduced to Jenna Ortega (?), and for Drake to post him on his page.

Overall, this whole recount is extremely murky and feels a bit unsubstantiated. With that said, we are taking this all with a grain of salt. Top5 is also a part of this wacky exchange, playing sort of a middleman role. Allegedly, he was in constant contact with the kid and Drake throughout. For his efforts, he would be able to keep some expensive jewelry if The Boy kept his word. Speaking of which, he was guaranteeing that he was going to take the $2 million, bet it on Stake, and turn it into $4 million.

The 20-Year-Old Influencer Is Not Happy With Drake

However, that allegedly did not happen. The influencer goes on to say that he feels Drake and Top5 were staging all of this and were never going to fulfill his wishes. Things really got out of hand for the kid when he asked to speak with Drake directly. According to him, he asked for The Boy to send him a screenshot of how much money he made on the crypto betting site, and it was nowhere close to expected total.

Instead, the influencer alleges Drake only brought in $700,000. Additionally, he alleges that Top5 is hiding with the rest of his money and has been splurging with it. At this point of the explanation, the youngster claims to have screenshots of the Stake balance, as well as one that shows Drake doesn’t follow him anymore on social media. Finally, he plays a voicemail that appears to be from Drake. In it, he’s telling him that he essentially needs to chill out and it’s not a big deal. However, for someone who is nowhere near his financial status, this influencer is enraged over this loss. Drake allegedly then offers him some involvement in some business moves he has planned, but he’s not buying it. Again, this all very messy, and hopefully more information will surface to clear this up.

Fans Still Think The Weeknd Is Playing Bella Hadid Voicemail At Concerts

In the music video for Chromatics’ remix of The Weeknd’s gargantuan hit “Blinding Lights,” the 4:33 mark contains quite the interesting voicemail clip. It goes as follows: “Hey, it’s me,” a female voice says somberly. “I know it’s been a while but I was just thinking about you and I’m sorry about everything.” This is a clip that the Canadian superstar continues to play at his shows before performing the track, with the most recent example being at his Lisbon concert in Portugal. While most believe that the voice belongs to Chromatics’ lead signer Ruth Radelet, many others think it’s actually his ex, Bella Hadid.

Of course, this debate emerged as soon as that remix video dropped, so this speculation is nothing new. Also, it’s worth noting that The Weeknd has never publicly confirmed either theory, although he probably enjoys the mystery. While some wouldn’t put it past the R&B star to leak a private voicemail like that, it still seems like a stretch. Another speculative element of his recent performances is his new silver mask, which many compared to the late legend MF DOOM- and Abel doesn’t mind that comparison at all.

Just like with the voicemail, though, it’s unclear how much of that is intentional and how much is pure coincidence. It’s been about four years since The Weeknd and Bella Hadid called it quits for the last time, and both have grown a lot since. Furthermore, he might have processed a lot of these emotions and feelings on his 2018 EP, My Dear Melancholy. Back in 2020, the 33-year-old called the project “cathartic” despite refusing to comment on whether it was specifically about Hadid and his other famous ex, Selena Gomez.

Regardless, there’s bigger fish to fry these days for the Dawn FM creative, including his new HBO show “The Idol.” Sure, reviews ranged from excited to less than enthusiastic, but mostly downright negative in a lot of aspects. But he expressed comfort with the backlash, as he mostly cares about the show sparking discussion and portraying the darkness and disgust of the show’s themes within their desired vision.
