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.

Chrisean Rock picked up a win over Ku’Shiyah Williams over the weekend, but the result wasn’t the kind of fight she was seeking. From the first few seconds, Rock looked comfortable in the ring.

She showed her skills and quickly took control, making it difficult for Williams to respond effectively. By the second round, Rock was extending her lead on the scorecard. Williams finally gave up, and the fight ended before the scheduled end. The decision awarded Rock a technical knockout victory, another win to add to her boxing résumé.

Rock has been getting into boxing in recent months, having done a couple of fights for Zeus Network. These fights were far from professional contests, but Rock has made it clear her interest in boxing is more than occasional ring appearances. Washington had her opportunity over the weekend to take that route more seriously when she faced Williams.

The circumstances left the victory feeling a little incomplete for a competitor trying to test herself. Rock showed she could control the proceedings, but the early stoppage meant she never found out how she would fare against someone who could match her all the way.

But the result is a win for Rock as she presses on into a possibly more serious boxing career. Her next opponent is yet to be decided, leaving the door open for a different kind of challenge in her second fight.

It wasn’t the victory she envisioned, but Rock can chalk up the bout with Williams as a win for now. The next fight will determine whether she gets to fight someone who can push her even further.
