DJ Akademiks shared a leaked setlist for Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show on February 9, leading to mockery from hip-hop media. However, the leaked list turned out to be nearly identical to the actual performance. Following the event, Akademiks took to Instagram Live to boast, especially towards other rap journalists who doubted him. He emphasized the reliability of his sources, claiming connections with inside information. Akademiks expressed his disdain for other journalists, stating he wouldn't change his approach. He plans to continue leaking information, distancing himself from artists and media alike. The leaked setlist featured many GNX tracks, selections from DAMN., a performance of "All The Stars" with SZA, and a segment of the Drake diss track "euphoria." Additionally, Akademiks mentioned that Drake wants to fight Kendrick, which came on the heels of similar comments from Glasses Malone. It remains to be seen how accurate his claims will be in the future, but he is currently enjoying a surge in confidence.
