He revealed plans to travel for an in-person conversation with Ye. Fast forward to March 26, 2025, and Akademiks took to X to confirm that the much-anticipated interview would be released today at 3 p.m. While excitement builds, he also noted that final edits are still pending, leaving fans eager to see the unfiltered result.
Earlier today, Akademiks shared a new video on X, calling his interview with Ye an unforgettable experience. He warned that reactions would be mixed—some might be thrilled, others upset.
