Last week, DJ Akademiks claimed he had yet to receive the green light from Kanye West's team to release the interview.

Earlier this month, Adin Ross announced that DJ Akademiks sat down with Kanye West for an interview. A few days after that, Ak shared a clip of himself talking to the Chicago rapper on the phone about their conversation. "What do you feel about that s**t?" Ye asked him. "Man, that s**t was raw," he responded at the time. "Bro, that s**t was raw and just, like, unfiltered. That s**t was dope, man. Like, I'm literally telling the people I'm with. I'm like, that was a f***ing surreal experience."

Today, Ak took to Twitter/X to suggest that the interview will be released soon. "Meet me at 1 PM EST," he captioned a clip of himself greeting Ye today. "Streaming Live on X / Rumble," he wrote in a follow-up tweet. Of course, that time has come and gone with no interview in sight. For now, it remains unclear whether or not DJ Akademiks still plans on releasing the interview sometime today.

His teaser comes just a few days after he provided his fans with an update on the interview during a stream. He revealed that the interview was edited and ready to go, but Ye had yet to give him the green light. Ak also confirmed that he wasn't in the business of dropping interviews without permission, claiming that he'd be willing to scrap it entirely if necessary. "I do think he wants to put it out," he also added.

DJ Akademiks isn't the only person Ye has recently recorded something with, however. Earlier this month, Andrew Tate was sued by one of his former girlfriends, who is accusing him of assault. In her lawsuit, she claims that he recorded a podcast with Ye. This appears to check out, as shortly before the lawsuit was filed, he linked up with the artist to watch him play video games. For now, a release date for that interview is also up in the air.
