Drake Once Tried to Shoot His Shot at Summer Walker, DJ Akademiks Claims

Written by on 09/16/2025

Drake is making headlines again—and this time, it’s not about music charts but messy behind-the-scenes drama. According to DJ Akademiks, the 6 God once aimed his attention at R&B star Summer Walker, sparking friction in the industry.

On a recent livestream, Akademiks broke down how beefs in hip hop often trace back to relationships. He claimed that Drake was allegedly told by another artist that they were feeling Summer—and instead of backing off, Drake made a move himself, even trying to fly her out.

For fans, it’s a wild twist considering the two already share history. Their 2019 remix of “Girls Need Love” put Summer Walker on the map and remains one of her biggest moments. If Ak’s story is true, it shows how quickly collaboration can blur with competition when personal lives get involved.

Meanwhile, Summer’s been in her own spotlight lately. She hit the MTV VMAs with an older companion, sparking endless chatter about who she’s dating and whether she’s stepping outside the industry. Summer clapped back online, saying she doesn’t have a “type,” a response that only fueled more speculation.

The timing of these revelations feels familiar. Just last month, Mariah The Scientist and Young Thug’s phone call about Kodak Black sliding into Mariah’s DMs went viral, proving once again that romance, rivalry, and hip hop are a tangled web.

All this unfolds as Drake continues to tease his next album, Iceman. He’s already dropped three singles and teased snippets on livestreams, but fans are still pressing him for a release date.
