The rumored tension between Offset and Lil Baby is being discussed by Akademiks once again. The labelmates' relationship was called into question years ago when gossip surfaced about an alleged altercation. Moreover, a driving force for keeping those conversations alive is Akademiks, and he's chatting with VladTV about the crux of the controversy.

You're gonna have chicks dance for you, the greatest entertainment in the world. They're serving you drinks. You're doin' what you want if you want to gamble your money."
