Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy” made DJ Akademiks go asleep.
Last night, we finally get to hear Drake’s long-awaited “Certified Lover Boy” album as it was released on all streaming platforms. The star-studded sixth studio album has 21 tracks with guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Future, Lil Baby, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Rick Ross, and more. The album was trending throughout the day, after reactions coming from fans all over social media. But the one reaction which has everyone talking is from DJ Akademiks, who fell asleep while listening to the project.
As music enthusiasts listened closely to CLB and shared their thoughts on the album, DJ Akademiks, a media figure, started his stream and listened to the project with his followers. Ak was as amped up as he usually is at times, citing Kendrick Lamar’s recent “smokin’ on your top 5” lyrics and anointing Drizzy Drake as the greatest of all time, ranking him from No. 1 to No. 5. He was absolutely zonked out at other times as if getting some zzz’s in the middle of the stream.
Akademiks is one of the biggest supporters of the Toronto rapper, and he was hyping the project for the past few days. When the album was released, Akademiks took to his Twitch channel for a live listening session. The hilarious moment happened when he reached on track #12, and fall asleep, while over 10k people were watching it live. The clips of the incident are trending on Social Media.
