Trey Songz Recovers From COVID-19 & Doesn’t Want To Do Verzuz
Shortly after Donald Trump revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19, urging his supporters not to take the pandemic seriously, Trey Songz swooped in to tell his fans that he too had tested positive.
“Here with a very important message to let you know that I tested positive for COVID-19,” said Trey. “I’ve taken many tests as I’ve been protesting, food drives—of course, I have a very young son at home so I get tested periodically and this time, unfortunately, it came back positive.”
He made sure to remind people to continue keeping others in mind, saying that he would be staying at home and self-quarantining.
“I will be taking it seriously. I will be self-quarantining. I will be in my house until I see a negative sign,” said the artist. “I don’t know how many of y’all know but my grandfather passed earlier this year, and while it wasn’t said that it was COVID, I do believe it was. So, I’ve always taken it serious. And if you come in contact with COVID, please do the same. Please do the same. Don’t be like the president.”
Today, he revealed that he has officially tested negative, which was kind of obvious by the massive party he was seen at this week.
“I ain’t got the COVID no more,” he said during an interview. “Don’t even worry about it, man.”
His name has also been brought up as Timbaland and Swizz Beatz announced the second season of Verzuz. People want to see Trigga Trey participate but, according to the artist, he’s not interested.
“No, I’m not [open to doing Verzuz],” said Trey. “I love Verzuz, don’t get me wrong. I love everything that Verzuz stands for and I love that we have legendary people coming up and showing each other love. What you see after these battles, a lot of younger people are actually put on to these classic artists and you see their streams go up, etc. But for me, I’ve never really been into being in competition with the next man, the next woman, and putting myself in a position where I gotta say, ‘this is better than what you’ve done.’ I’m in competition with myself. Furthermore, I don’t think there’s anybody that really do what I do.”

DJ Akademiks questions if Lil Durk will get bond as the racketeering case goes on
Lil Durk’s legal battle is about to take another big step, and DJ Akademiks is already sharing his expectations for what could go down when the rapper returns to court in November.
Durk is in custody, awaiting his next VICAR case in which authorities say he was running a criminal enterprise. His next trial was set for October 5, but recent developments have called into question when those proceedings will occur.
Durk’s murder for hire trial recently resulted in a not guilty verdict in November. Regardless of that outcome, he remains in custody because the separate racketeering related charges remain unresolved. Durk’s attorneys have asked for the new hearing and have been ordered to appear by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, which also must submit a fresh bail report.
Against that backdrop, legal commentator Bradford Cohen had previously suggested Durk could eventually get bond. That view ties in with Durk’s not-guilty verdict in the earlier case, and the argument that the outcome could make it harder to sustain the remaining allegations.
DJ Akademiks sees things a bit differently. In a recent livestream, Akademiks predicted that Durk would not get a bond at the Nov. hearing. He believes the charges will stick and cites the seriousness of the allegations in the VICAR case as his reasoning. He also doesn’t appear to expect the rapper to be released from jail anytime soon as the case moves forward.
Akademiks’ prediction concerns the bond hearing, not Durk’s chances at trial. Durk’s legal situation remains unresolved for now. His recent acquittal has altered the circumstances of his arrest, but the separate racketeering case still looms over the rapper as both sides prepare for the next phase.

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory
DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.
According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.
The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.
Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.
Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.
