DJ Akademiks claims Drake is allegedly set to sign the largest record deal in music history with Universal Music Group

Universal Music Group and Drake have yet to officially confirm any prospective deal details or financial figures

According to media personality DJ Akademiks, Drake is allegedly preparing to sign what could be the largest record deal in music history with Universal Music Group. The reported claim suggests the Toronto artist is currently at the precipice of securing an unprecedented contract renewal, though formal terms have yet to be officially confirmed by either camp.

The report follows Drake’s completion of his prior $400 million USD agreement with UMG, which was reportedly fulfilled after he released three surprise albums—ICEMAN, Habibti, and Maid of Honour—in May 2026 to satisfy his contractual album obligations. While Akademiks described the impending agreement as “definitely official,” neither Drake nor Universal Music Group has publicly verified the negotiations or specified any potential financial figures. Akademkis shared on One Night With Steiny, “This is definitely official. Drake is at the precipice of being in a new deal. He’s set to receive probably the biggest record deal in history.”

Industry speculation continues to mount regarding the potential scale of the agreement, questioning how much the artist could command following the conclusion of his historic previous arrangement.
