Joe Budden said that DJ Akademiks is ruining his brand over the constant Drake reporting.
For those who've been following, they know that Ak has fully sided with Drake in the rapper's beef with Kendrick Lamar.
He's done that by sharing a lot of behind-the-scenes info on Drizzy during the back-and-forth, while trying to downplay Dot's victory. [Jump to the 2:20-mark]
"Ak is the mouth piece," said Joe late last week on his podcast. "As a Drake fan, I want Ak to stop announcing things about Drake. The Drake releases are much better as a surprise. Anything with Ak reporting it, it just looked a way. It comes off as a mission sent from Drake ... Good journalistic sh*t you was doing, but you gotta know that any Drake news coming from you is viewed through a different type of eye."
Ak responded by saying he just rocks with Drake's music more than Kendrick's.

"They want me to stop saying anything positive about Drake," said Ak. "I’m sorry, I listen to Kendrick like once a month. I listen to Drake everyday."
Do you agree that Ak is messing up his brand with the biased Drake reporting?
