Netizens react to DJ Akademiks and Kanye's interview announcement
Last week, DJ Akademiks did a live with his followers and told them that he had been talking to Kanye over the phone. They discussed the interview during the conversation, where Ye was open to answering Akademiks' questions.
The recent announcement post has sparked excitement among fans.
"my body is ready," wrote @UponlyG.
While some netizens were excited, others had gloomy reactions.
"The sh*t head Ye gonna diss Dot as if that's gonna prove anything. Claiming to be a bully but hasn't put hands on any1, just tweets BS for attention to sell products. Legacy burnt to a crisp & his character as a man is trash,'' stated @MrRell806.
Another netizen wondered if the interview would be presented in its authentic form.
"Edited?" remarked @Nogo021.
These were some of the mixed reactions the interview announcement post received.
A few hours ago Akademiks dropped another video on his X account where he described that the interview he had with Kanye was a phenomenal experience. He also said that the videos might disturb some viewers, some would be annoyed but others would be happy.
He captioned the video:
''Akademiks gives an update on the Ye interview and says he’s waiting on approval from Ye’s team to drop it.''
He also explained in the video how Kanye was in Japan and spoke of the discussion they had regarding what time to post the interview video. He revealed that the interview has two parts, adding that if there were any edits in the interview video these would be from Kanye and not from him.
Fans and followers of both Kanye and DJ Akademiks are excited about the interview as it is expected to cover a range of topics, including Kanye's experience in the industry.
