DJ Akademiks believes the only reason Drake felt so comfortable going at Kendrick Lamar in their historic battle is that Meek Mill gave Drizzy a lot of confidence.

Ak was speaking about Drake beating the Philly rapper in their 2015 battle by first dropping "Charged Up," and the now classic diss track "Back to Back." [Jump to the 129:15-mark]

"What we’re seeing even with Drake and Kendrick, it’s Meek Mill’s fault," said Ak during an interview with the Full Send Podcast. "So now it’s given Drake the level of confidence to say, 'Yo I’ve defeated the battlers of the battlers. These guys really don’t wanna see me' … And now we realize Meek Mill — as 50 Cent said — is a special type of stupid. Like, literally, anybody could have defeated him. I defeated him on Twitter, he just blocked me."

"The guy is so dumb,"Ak went on. "He’s one of the few people that you’re like, maybe we gave Drake too much credit for beating this guy … Meek has a remedial, slower person’s brain. If you put an actual able-bodied brain in there, he might have beaten Drake."

Ak and Meek have been at each other's throats for nearly a decade now, so these comments shouldn't be surprising. 

Do you agree with his theory on Meek, Drake, and Kendrick?
