Drake Allegedly Gifts Young Thug $1 Million After Prison Release, According To DJ Akademiks

Fans are ecstatic about rumors of Drake making a grand gesture after following Young Thug’s tumultuous journey through the legal system for months. DJ Akademiks, who is known for his connections to the hip-hop scene, revealed on a recent livestream that he had heard that Drake was reported to have given Young Thug $1 million shortly after his release. Drake’s action of flying out to meet Thug within hours of his release to deliver the significant sum underscores their deep bond, according to Akademiks.

“Y’all want to hear this play I heard?” Akademiks teased his audience. “They say two hours after Thug got out, Drake flew out to him and allegedly gave him a mil’.”

He was quick to point out that he hadn’t heard this directly from Drake, but he was convinced it was true based on their strong friendship.

Drake’s show of solidarity wouldn’t be out of character for the Toronto superstar, even though he hasn’t confirmed these rumors. Their friendship has been evident for years, with public support, music collaborations, and even calls for peace. A month ago, Thug sent a heartfelt message to Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin, urging them to put aside their differences and work together again.

The rapper expressed his desire for more collaborations, stating, ‘Music isn’t the same without us collabin.’

Drake showed solidarity both online and in his lyrics, even though Young Thug was involved in his YSL RICO trial. In October, he publicly stood up for Thug, expressing his dissatisfaction with those who were not loyal, and stating that he was actively putting money towards Thug’s case. On Instagram, he even wrote, ‘I ain’t talking to talk man, I really put up [bread emoji] on [briefcase emoji] 3 Jeff,’ a direct nod to Thug (whose real name is Jeffrey Williams). His gesture mirrored his lyric in ‘Sticky’, a song on his Honestly, Nevermind album, in which he publicly supported Thug by saying ‘Free Big Slime out of the cage’.

If the rumors are true, this $1 million gift would only strengthen Drake’s commitment to Thug and create a new chapter in their friendship. Young Thug’s release has fans looking forward to their return on a new song. The combination of their talents and experiences promises to bring a new perspective to any music they create together, which will remind listeners of the perseverance and brotherhood that continues to define the biggest names in hip-hop
