Drake allegedly gave Young Thug one million after he was released from prison.

DJ Akademiks , who’s made it clear how “close” he is with Drizzy, claims that he heard through the grapevine about the rapper’s generous move.

“Y’all want to hear this play I heard?” began Akademiks, talking about the situation on a livestream. “Watch, he gon’ hit me up, like, ‘Yo, how you heard?’ ‘Cause he ain’t tell me. That’s my mans. When Thug gets let out of jail, the talk is this. They say two hours afterwards, Drake flew to Thug and allegedly gave him a mil’. Drake didn’t tell me this. Drake gon’ hit me up and be, like, ‘Who told you this?’”

Akademiks continued on, claiming that Drake flew to wherever Thug was at and gave him the money.

Drake apparently showing up for Thug like this underscores how strong their relationship is. Back in October, Thug, while in the middle of the YSL Rico trial, posted a message on X to Drake, Future , and Metro Boomin — calling for them all to bury the hatchet because they “all bruddas.” “Music ain’t the same without us collabin,” he said.

Earlier that month, Drake hopped on Instagram to show love to Thug while he was going through his trial. Just days after giving a speech about disloyal friends , Drake established that Thug was one by suggesting that he was putting money up for his case . “I ain’t talking to talk man I really put up [bread emoji] on the [briefcase emoji] 3 Jeff,” wrote Drake in a picture posted on his Instagram Story.

In Drake’s music, he also made it clear that he wanted Thug free. On the song “Sticky” from Honestly, Nevermind, Drake rapped, “Free Big Slime out the cage.”

Now that Thug is out of jail , it’s only a matter of time before he hops into the studio again with Drake.
