DRAKE REPORTEDLY DROPPING CONTROVERSIAL 'SUPER SOAK' SONG BUT WITH MAJOR TWIST

Drake's recently leaked collaboration with Lil Yachty, "Super Soak," is getting an official release, albeit with a major twist.

That's according to Akademiks, who claimed on his Rumble stream on Monday (August 19) that the 6 God is gearing up to drop the track on streaming services, sans Lil Boat.


"I heard it's coming out, people, with a music video," said the media personality, who has been sharing various bits of Drake info in recent months. "Now, it's some interesting shit going on here. I hear the 'Super Soak' track is coming out, music video included. One caveat: there's no Lil Yachty on it.

"That's a little confusing to me [...] because it was Yachty's song initially. Drake sent that to Yachty for it to be on Yachty's Concrete [Boys] project.

"This is not a source from Drake, by the way. I have multiple other sources outside of Drake. And Drake doesn't even know I'm telling y'all this.

"I saw something that could be a music video and it eerily matches a silhoutte that I'd seen Drake post," Akademiks added, before pulling up a picture of the rapper's new hairstyle.

"Super Soak" has caused a bit of a stir since it was first premiered by streamer Kai Cenat last month.

Drake faced the wrath of Soulja Boy after the "Crank That" rapper believed he was taking a shot at him on the song by rapping: "I'm watching the moves, playin' it close / SOD, super soak."

The line appeared to be an overt reference to Soulja's record label Stacks on Deck, as well as his 2007 song "Super Soak," and came after Big Draco had taunted Drake on social media for losing his beef to Kendrick Lamar.

Hitting back at the perceived diss in a vicious rant on Instagram Live, Soulja said: "Drake, you better keep that shit light, my boy. This your first and only warning. If you doing a shoutout, cool. If you're in any form, shape or way trying to disrespect me or sneak diss, I'm on yo ass, boy. This not gon' be the best idea for you, family."

Soulja later revealed that he and Drizzy had cleared the air and it was all a misunderstanding.

Lil Yachty also added to the controversy surrounding "Super Soak" when he admitted that he and Drake were unable to clear the sample, but he decided to leak it anyway knowing they could still profit from the track by performing it.

"Super Soak" samples Mr. Hotspot's viral song "Goodness Gracious," but Hotspot denied the duo's sample clearance request due to religious reasons.

Guesting on comedian Andrew Schultz's Flagrant podcast, Yachty appeared unhappy at the rejection, saying: "He went down, like, a Christian path. I don't think we got in to money. He was like, 'No.' It was crazy, Everyone was like, 'Are you serious?'"

Mr. HotSpot later gave Drake and Yachty an ultimatum, allowing them to sample "Goodness Gracious" if they cleaned up their lyrics and made "Super Soak" more PG-friendly.

"We don't need no children getting whooped 'cause they said this or that. If you look at the backside, it's the children who really running these views up so if we can make sure both verses clean, everybody coming clean, everybody gonna benefit for sure," he said in a TikTok video.

"We ain't trying to hold them back from nothing but we just need the morals correct, that's all."

It's unclear if Drake has complied with the request in order to get the sample cleared or how the finished product differs from the leaked version.
