Akademiks had a priceless reaction when he found out from Adin Ross that Drake bought him a $330,000 fully-loaded Maybach.

Akademiks was hanging out with Adin on his Kick stream on Wednesday when he asked the chat if they wanted to see the Maybach Ross had received from Drake."He paid in full," Ross revealed, to which Ak exclaimed, "Word?!"

Akademiks followed up with a poorly-received joke about Ross and Drake being sued due to their involvement with the online gambling platform Stake. When the two eventually made their way to the Maybach, Ak immediately found the paperwork for the vehicle while sitting in the backseat, disclosing the $220,000 price tag before taxes, shipping, and additional fees.

"He did full packages on the car, too," Ross said. "I always say this, Ak, people ask, 'Why did he get it for you?' I fuck with him, bro. There's no loyalty left in the world for people like him in the entertainment industry, and I love him. And I'm loyal to him."

After telling the story about how he received the Maybach and specifying everything that was included, Akademiks joked, "You and Drake must have Illuminati secrets, like goddamn."

"On his birthday, Drake called me his right hand, and shit, I guess the right hand don't get the right key," Akademiks added with a laugh.
