DJ Akademiks has some words for Lil Baby after the rapper’s projected first-week sales numbers surfaced.
Although the tracking week hasn’t wrapped up, early projections suggest Wham’s latest album, FRESH, is on pace to move around 60,000 units. Big Ak wasted no time weighing in, continuing his ongoing back-and-forth with the Atlanta rapper by clowning the numbers and calling the project a flop.
“Lil Baby flopping this week is actually good for the game. Time to slow down wit all that bs music! Give gunna back his style and lane! I’m on Spotify and Apple a** this week. No botted streams will get past me. Trust me. Let that boy receive that flop in peace.”
He also suggested that if the final numbers come in significantly higher than the projection, Baby’s label may have purchased copies to inflate the total.
“Remember if yall see the final numbers like 80k. his label bought 20k copies. Love yall capitol / QC but yall can’t save dis one! A Fresh Flop. His streams tanking … no way his final numbers should differ more than +- 10k copies.”
Neither Lil Baby nor Quality Control has publicly responded to the early projections or Akademiks trolling comments. With the track week still underway, the final numbers will determine whether Wham’s early estimate holds up or not.
