#DJAkademiks shares his thoughts on the success of #Drake's "ICEMAN" on the Billboard charts, saying he's glad Drake held off on dropping the album following the aftermath of the 2024 beef with #KendrickLamar 👀

"This happens when the narrative is clear. Finally, it's 'ICEMAN' season. No more slander."

"I don't think if Drake had dropped that album 6 months after 'Not Like Us' dropped, it's gonna be this successful. Why? People weren't focused on the music."

Do y'all think Drake released this album at the perfect time? 🤔💭
