What's The 'Drake Dog Audio' About? The Allegedly Leaked Drake Audio Controversy Explained
It seems for the past few weeks part of the internet just wants to talk about the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Feud, and the latest rumor going viral is accusing the Canadian rapper of doing inappropriate things with his dog in the leaked Drake Dog Audio controversy.
Similar to Drake's ecret daughter rumor and the Drake Pedophilia and Grooming Allegations, these stories are using the rap beef to flood social media with rumors and conspiracy theories about the Canadian rapper to attract views and engagement.
Here's what we know about the Drake dog audio and how the internet reacted to the rumor.
What Is The 'Drake Dog Audio?'
The "Drake dog audio" is an alleged leaked video of rapper Drake doing inappropriate things with his dogs, with slight whimpering dog noises heard in the background. The video was sent by an anonymous source to Jamaican-American streamer DJ Akademiks, who reacted to the content during a livestream on May 12th, 2024. (shown below)

Later on May 13th, YouTuber @MrHopscotchPilgrim uploaded an enhanced sound version of the streamer's clip (seen below), which shows that streamer DJ Akademiks neither mentions Drake's name nor accuses him of doing anything inappropriate with the dog.
How Did The 'Drake Dog Audio' Rumor Spread On Social Media?
The short and almost unbearable clip was enough to start a rumor a few hours after Dj Akademiks' livestream on the internet about the way Drake treats his dog. For example, on May 13th, 2024, X user @Tadbitspecial posted a video of Breaking Bad's Jesse freaking out paired with the caption "Why did I just listen to a supposed audio of Drake raping a dog?"

The rumor was also talked about on Reddit, as Redditor Capable-Education724 posted on May 13th saying "DJ Akademiks got sent an incriminating video of Drake during his live stream," detailing the events that occurred during DJ Akademiks's livestream.
Is The "Drake Dog Audio' Real?
There is no legitimate source claiming the authenticity of the leaked "Drake dog audio." However, X user @harvy_714 claims the alleged video is related to the controversy surrounding EbonyPrince2k24, an X account of an unknown man who leaked items allegedly owned by rapper Drake.
