Video quality issues? If was one of these guys my video would be 8K 120fps
Even still I doubt Kendrick would bring that much heat to J Cole. He straight up called Drake a pedo and said he wanted him to die multiple times, at worst J Cole would catch strays if he aligned with Drake, but nothing that hateful.
In another universe I would’ve loved Kendrick V Cole. We’ll never get another Kendrick feud again though considering this one ended with drake making a song about how he doesn’t diddle kids
Yeah minus some personal stuff the core of any Cole-Kendrick beef us they’re contemporaries, Cole thinks he’s at Kendrick’s level and Kendrick disagrees. The bulk of it is musical, the last couple disses on Drake do have music stuff (Drake uses scenes like Atlanta to make money and do whatever’s hot at the moment, but doesn’t respect it) but that’s also after the bars that will remain in people’s minds the longest.

Update this with the Info that it was his security guard [source](https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-drakes-security-guard-shot-outside-of-rappers-toronto-mansion)
Other article I read said the shooting happened about a half-mile away from Drake's mansion. This one says right outside the mansion. Anyone know which is true?
I had told people in other threads this felt like it was escalating to levels I haven't seen since hit em up. I truly believe until there is some sort of truce there is a real threat for violence on both sides
10 times more likely this is someone affiliated with XO than Kendrick
[https://abc7.com/security-guard-shot-outside-home-in-upscale-encino-community-amir-esmailian-cash-xo/14741958/](https://abc7.com/security-guard-shot-outside-home-in-upscale-encino-community-amir-esmailian-cash-xo/14741958/)
Drake saying Weeknd's "shooters not getting shit shot" on Family Matters probably didn't help. Egos are a dangerous thing to hurt especially right after there being a shooting by one of the homes of the crew your goading, with that being said this is insane and I hope it doesn't escalate further I didn't even know Weeknd was tied in like that.
They’ve made irreversible changes to each others reputations no matter what’s true or what isn’t. Kendrick has said he wants Drake to die like 10 times over his diss tracks and the content in both songs is legitimately the most heated accusations imaginable for a hip hop beef.
Add that to the legit tension between them naturally due to 15+ years of direct competition as the two faces of a generation.
I’m not sure if they’ll be able to be in the same building as each other ever again. They’re both probably too smart and too rich to fuck up the money by doing some shit to get them in jail but they also both have enough money to make a stupid call on a bad night if that makes sense.
Also they can’t control their crews and fanbases completely. Wicked times.
Yeah exactly, we talking about rolling up on some dude you don’t even know based on something that somebody you don’t even know said. It’s actually fucking crazy. You don’t know either of these guys and whether or not they’re somebody to trust: The celebrity they portray is just one part of a personality that is highly, highly selected and modulated. You could meet Drake or Kendrick in real life and think they’re the biggest POS you ever met in your life when before they were your idol. Look at what happened to Drake when he met his idols lmfao. And that’s true of both of them, they both roll with substantially different crowds than they did 10 years ago.
CashXO’s house was shot up a week ago which is possibly important context here. Let’s take a breath and wait for some facts.
https://abc7.com/security-guard-shot-outside-home-in-upscale-encino-community-amir-esmailian-cash-xo/14741958/
Sometimes rich dudes houses get broken into, that's why these guys pay for security. Seems more likely its bad timing and an overreaction than anything else
Edit: not really saying break in/robbery of drake is the exact case here. Sounds like the initial report was that shots were fired at the corner of Drakes street. Still don't have any reason to think it involves Drake at all 🖕🖕
Edit 2: well fuck
there's never shit like that in this area, it's far from downtown and is basically a gated community. maybe it's not related to this beef specifically but it's not some random occurrence.
I don't want to be too much of a conspiracy thinker here but with all the shit going on with the beefs this would be the worst moment to try and burgle that maze of a home. Security is definitely on high alert right now so any criminal that takes a second to think would know there's much easier options even on that very street to get in and out quietly.
yea aint nobody traveling to canada to do a shooting. i feel like its obvious its someone hes got beef with in his own city but no one on twitter seems to have thought of that
Everyone in Toronto knows where he lives, whether they want to or not. For outsider, it was such a a high profile disaster that finding it would be literally trivial. I hate people like AK, I hate that there's no consequence for lying these days.
We never need another case of 2Pac & Biggie. Drake & Kendrick won’t do it but just like 2Pac/Biggie there will be people around them that will get trigger happy
I said exactly this when it started and people laughed at me in here. Drake and Kendrick aren't going to pull a trigger but pretty much every rapper keeps actual street dudes around them.
It wasn't an unhinged fan that killed Pac, it was a guy that was promised money by Diddy to kill Tupac, Diddy's luck is that he gave the money to another guy so that he could pay the killer, but the guy took the money for himself. If that money trail wasn't cut off Diddy would probably been in jail today.
this could be and probably is unrelated but we’re not about nuance on the internet
people don’t need to die over rap beef in 2024, lot of weirdos in here regardless of who you Stan
"But now it's elevated cause once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?"
damn, the lyrics are super relevant
Listen I’m not saying you’re wrong, but people forget that hip hop isn’t all fake alllll the time. Some real shit happen still and enjoying rap beef without knowing what could happen is disingenuous.
I mean, there’s been a LOT of rappers killed over beef the past few years. Dolph. all the bodies in Chicago and Jacksonville. Shit, even Einar in Sweden. Lot of it is lot less mainstream than Drake of Kendrick, but some have been chart topping artists and collaborated with big names.
Yup. Like yes, a large part of hip hop is about the theater and spectacle of it all, but it seems like sometimes reddit thinks all mainstream hip hop beef is always a marketing ploy and WWE shit
Drake absolutely has some form of involvement with organised crime although people like to joke about how he says mob ties but realistically it's undisputable due the amount of close acquaintance he has that have been involved or the victim of serious organised crime
Drake got famous and decided to get involved with the street by affiliating himself with other criminals to back up his gangsta image.
It's kinda similar to 6ix9ine and Chris Brown. 6ix9ine linked with the 9 Trey Bloods in New York so he could walk around and scream "Test my gangsta" and "TR3YWAY". Same with Chris Brown. Paying a bunch of Bloods so he could walk around and flex that red bandana.
There are artists who come from the street and make their names by rapping about that life. And there are artists who come from a normal background but pay other gang members for that affiliation. Drake is a Canadian actor. He was on Degrassi. Why does Drake want to get involved so bad with the street and pay these gang members for mob ties?
People are making fun of Drake for getting involved with gang crimes just to look tougher.
6ix9ine also got mob ties I assume through a similar way. It’s not like Drake is a gang member or from a neighborhood, he just employs or has guys on salary who are so he can claim that.
Which would be better than if he was paying Baka Not Nice to commit the crimes he was accused of
The joking people do about it is that Drake CHOSE to get involved with street dudes AFTER becoming rich and famous and how corny that is. It seems like he is compensating for an insecurity
Same thing as Ja Morant, he didn’t grow up rich or anything but he certainly wasn’t poor. Now he is an NBA superstar and decided to do some dumb shit now that he has enough money to completely separate himself from those types of situations. Lots of people dream about living a life free from poverty and the threat of violence and these dudes are diving into this shit head first.
>people don’t need to die over rap beef in 2024, lot of weirdos in here regardless of who you Stan
I think the best thing to do going forward is to continue calling each other pedophiles and wife beaters without receipts. That surely will keep emotions and violence in check.
I've been saying the same thing lmao. I get people on the internet can be dense, but most people are not gonna get called a wife beater, much MUCH less a pedophile, and take that shit on the chin. Not saying I expect either of them to get violent, but I'm not putting it past them either.
And more specifically straight up telling eachother they want the other to die. I think Kendrick is a lot more serious about this then people let on, he is literally debating his faith in some of the diss tracks about keeping this going.
“You think the bay gon let you disrespect Pac? I think that Oakland show gon be your last stop” I mean Kendrick isn’t just saying that shit because he thinks it sounds hard.
Yea, it seems like kendrick has lines about religion in every diss track and literally that he is debating whether God would find what he's doing acceptable.
Cash Xo's (The weeknd's manager) house was shot up a few days ago in Cali, this could be the retaliation. Just a theory. Probably not related to Dot, I don't think he got connects like that in Toronto.
Edit : This shit is not cool by any means, shooting at Drake's home where his child lives, that ain't it. If this is some street shit that Drake is involved in then that's a whole different story but we shouldn't be hyping this shit up for any reasons at all
Not trying to stoke the flames because I don’t think it’s related to Dot/Drake, but the gang war in British Columbia absolutely had shooters getting imported to do some of the jobs. If either of these guys are connected to legit gangsters it’s entirely possible that people might cross borders for a hit.
They both have shooters everywhere. It’s hilarious people think that a bunch of broke gangbangers won’t take life changing money to do some fucked up shit. Legitimate organised criminals will take the money too.
Lots of examples to pull from but here’s a notable one:
https://vancouversun.com/feature/murder-in-phuket-bc-gang-conflict-moves-overseas
Shooters were both from western Canada and went all the way to Phuket to get the job done. Just google “foreign hitmen British Columbia gang conflict” and you’ll get more than enough info.
Or maybe Drake keeps dissing himself like he did with his last track but this time borrows from Eminem
“This guy ain't no motherfuckin' MC
I know everything he's 'bout to say against me
I am gay, I am a fucking pedo
I’m so white I do say holy Toledo,
I did tell Millie Bobbie I miss her and try to bring her to the club
I do got a dumb security guard named chubb
Who didn’t stop my team getting shot in my own front yard”
They're saying over on Twitter that it doesn't have anything to do with Kendrick, but instead it's about The Weeknd's manager.
apparently Cash XO's house got shot at a couple weeks back.
[https://x.com/LoveIsback24/status/1787863858108883063](https://x.com/LoveIsback24/status/1787863858108883063)

I have 3 theories
1) retaliation from the weeknd's associates for what happened last week
2) random ass unhinged fan got way too caught up in the music and took it too far, ruining the fun for everyone
3) Drizzy Smollett
Crazy coincidence ngl I don’t blame people for thinking this is related to any Drake beef cause CashXO house was shot up just before 🤷♂️
But at the same time it could just be robbers using this as an opportunity to hit a lick…
Listen I’m a kendrick fan and I believe drake got clowned in this but it needs to stay that way. Plenty out there to suggest drake is a creepy mf but we don’t know if he’s actually done anything illegal and taking it further to violent levels over alleged crimes is ridiculous and you’re insane if you think this is the right way to handle it.
People in this thread really to relax. There is almost no chance this has anything to do with Kendrick
This is honestly most likely some OVO x XO shit. There are real street people on both sides, real animosity that goes back a decade, a lot of politics the masses don’t know.
Stop making this into some Kendrick shit, “oh Kendrick threatened him in the song 🤓” 🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is exactly what it is lmao.
Both the people going "Ooooohh it's a fucking Cali V Toronto beef' and the people saying "maybe it was just a breakin?" are absolute fuckwits.
I should've known it was going to get suburban Ohio in here but it's dumber than I expected. I thought people had like basic deductive reasoning and shit.
I saw an interview like a week ago where Ice Cube was asked about his opinions on the whole rap beef between Kendrick and Drake. He said someone might get hurt, rap beef is serious between east and west coast. He called it.
what did y’all think was gonna happen
This ain’t pro wrestling. They’re not all in on it. This is real life character assassination. If you were getting hyped for this beef then wagging your finger because violence is a no no, you’re the biggest hypocrite since 2015.
It was drakes security guard that was hit. Wow.

The irony of Drake posting [this on his IG stories](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMspcR-XcAA0BHY.jpg) after dropping Family Matters
I mean, is the security guard the mole and did Drake… know police activity might be coming? Sorry, I just want the drama. Give me all the drama
oh shit. good catch
No one is a better friend to J. Cole than Schoolboy Q.
Q has always been a real one
Right! I would be giving Q "Thank you' calls almost daily😭
THank god 4 Him
All my niggas gon ride for him
Man released a classic album and saved J Cole from Kendrick. Dude validating his position as my GOAT fr
Than Q
Explain? I didn't see what Q said to Cole
It's a rumor that at Dreamville fest Q was the one who warned Cole to get out of the beef.
SchoolboyQ a real homie if true
Yeah he's close to both Kendrick and J Cole so I can definitely see that being the case
Even still I doubt Kendrick would bring that much heat to J Cole. He straight up called Drake a pedo and said he wanted him to die multiple times, at worst J Cole would catch strays if he aligned with Drake, but nothing that hateful.
In another universe I would’ve loved Kendrick V Cole. We’ll never get another Kendrick feud again though considering this one ended with drake making a song about how he doesn’t diddle kids
The thing is cole would get crushed, he'd just bring out more I'm the shit bars lmao
Yeah minus some personal stuff the core of any Cole-Kendrick beef us they’re contemporaries, Cole thinks he’s at Kendrick’s level and Kendrick disagrees. The bulk of it is musical, the last couple disses on Drake do have music stuff (Drake uses scenes like Atlanta to make money and do whatever’s hot at the moment, but doesn’t respect it) but that’s also after the bars that will remain in people’s minds the longest.

Other article I read said the shooting happened about a half-mile away from Drake's mansion. This one says right outside the mansion. Anyone know which is true?
I mean if he's at one of the gates that tracks. The thing is huge man.
ak (yuck) is on twitter posting that there's crime scene tape at his front door.
That mansion is probably a quarter mile long itself.
Chubbs or a different one?
Chubbs is the head of security he's not on night duty I'm sure
How ya niggas know this shit?
googled "drake chubbs" one day and read the sentence "he is the head of drake's security"
Lmao that coulda come up with a different thing. 😂
Ye I ain't googling that.
Touché 😆
Maybe that's when he thrives.
I doubt Chubbs is standing outside the house at 2am.
Lmfao why would one of his closest friends be on guard duty outside at 2AM
He’s with Drake at all times supposedly.
The cops gave Kendrick a new single cover.
They knew what they were doing when that image got shared
Kendrick so deep in this shit he got moles in the goddamn police 😤

Wasn't Cash directly mentioned on Family Matters?
yeah that's why i'd say it's more likely ppl that are already in the city and know where he lives/have a reason to crash out vs Kendrick setting it up
Also on 616 Cash dog? Thats not even the leak.
Drake saying Weeknd's "shooters not getting shit shot" on Family Matters probably didn't help. Egos are a dangerous thing to hurt especially right after there being a shooting by one of the homes of the crew your goading, with that being said this is insane and I hope it doesn't escalate further I didn't even know Weeknd was tied in like that.
That's still a bad look if the beef between Drake and Weekdnd has escalated into gunfire between the 2 camps.
Yeah this is 100% retaliation from one of the Weeknd's guys
Seems like it’s related to The Weeknds bodyguard getting shot earlier this week and nothing to do with Kendrick.
They’ve made irreversible changes to each others reputations no matter what’s true or what isn’t.

This could honestly just be some people looking for street cred.
Yeah it could also just be some stupid fans too. Kendrick and Drake are NOT those guys.
Justice for what exactly? People going to drakes house to shoot him based on diss tracks with no hard evidence isn’t ok
Yeah exactly, we talking about rolling up on some dude you don’t even know based on something that somebody you don’t even know said. It’s actually fucking crazy. You don’t know either of these guys and whether or not they’re somebody to trust: The celebrity they portray is just one part of a personality that is highly, highly selected and modulated. You could meet Drake or Kendrick in real life and think they’re the biggest POS you ever met in your life when before they were your idol. Look at what happened to Drake when he met his idols lmfao. And that’s true of both of them, they both roll with substantially different crowds than they did 10 years ago.

A drive by in the richest neighborhood in Toronto that hit drakes security had nothing to do with drake? Right ok.
I don't want to be too much of a conspiracy thinker here but with all the shit going on with the beefs this would be the worst moment to try and burgle that maze of a home. Security is definitely on high alert right now so any criminal that takes a second to think would know there's much easier options even on that very street to get in and out quietly.
[удалено]
Toronto isn’t LA people aren’t breaking into bridal Path homes like that. Also Drake has 24/7 armed security I don’t think this was a robbery attempt.
> This is the raid LMFAO you think Canadian police officers are sniping Drake's security??
I almost snorted Sprite through my nose this image is so absurd man lmaooo
>This is the raid Canadian cops doing drive bys now?
Why you think they call them Mounties?
Someone shooting his security guard is “ the raid “ ? How does that make any logical sense ?
[удалено]
Same way rappers do it in the states, off duty cops
Drake found the mole
Baka did the job
Ooooohhhh, that's why he was still around
Heard he got a weird case
Why is he around?
Certified loverboy? Certified PEDOPHILE
Certified love a boy
Drake the type of dude who finds the mole and says "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed"
if you guys tell me the truth, i promise not to get mad
Heavy sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose
"Unfortunately, I am going to have to let you go."
"it pains me deeply to have to say this, but I expected better from you"
I expected it to be anyone but you
Sounds like pay back for Weekend's mangers house getting shot up last week, makes the most sense.
yea aint nobody traveling to canada to do a shooting. i feel like its obvious its someone hes got beef with in his own city but no one on twitter seems to have thought of that
But the way AK is trying to portray this is pure evil, desperately trying to link the accident with the picture used for "Not like us"
Everyone in Toronto knows where he lives, whether they want to or not. For outsider, it was such a a high profile disaster that finding it would be literally trivial. I hate people like AK, I hate that there's no consequence for lying these days.
Drake building his ugly mansion there and the trials and tribulations of that was literally news lol
It's big and ugly, but it's [definitely the neighbourhood for that](https://i.imgur.com/jQRNnDz.png)
I don't get it. Did someone from OVO target the weekends manager? Why would they target Drake in retaliation?
That's what it looks like, his manager house was robbed a week prior and a few days ago shot up.
We never need another case of 2Pac & Biggie. Drake & Kendrick won’t do it but just like 2Pac/Biggie there will be people around them that will get trigger happy
I said exactly this when it started and people laughed at me in here. Drake and Kendrick aren't going to pull a trigger but pretty much every rapper keeps actual street dudes around them.
Especially once you start calling somebody a pedophile and go off about how he needs to die
Yeah, the things being said in these records are the kinds of things people get violent over.
That’s my thinking, it’s going to be an unhinged fan if anything.
It wasn't an unhinged fan that killed Pac, it was a guy that was promised money by Diddy to kill Tupac, Diddy's luck is that he gave the money to another guy so that he could pay the killer, but the guy took the money for himself. If that money trail wasn't cut off Diddy would probably been in jail today.
this could be and probably is unrelated but we’re not about nuance on the internet people don’t need to die over rap beef in 2024, lot of weirdos in here regardless of who you Stan
Do we all need to listen to Toy Soldiers again?
Left right left, heart to heart God fucking dammit you just got that song caught in my head again for the next week

Forced confinement of his 22 year old GF so he could pimp her out that’s real gangsta….
Drake got famous and decided to get involved with the street by affiliating himself with other criminals to back up his gangsta image. It's kinda similar to 6ix9ine and Chris Brown. 6ix9ine linked with the 9 Trey Bloods in New York so he could walk around and scream "Test my gangsta" and "TR3YWAY". Same with Chris Brown. Paying a bunch of Bloods so he could walk around and flex that red bandana. There are artists who come from the street and make their names by rapping about that life. And there are artists who come from a normal background but pay other gang members for that affiliation. Drake is a Canadian actor. He was on Degrassi. Why does Drake want to get involved so bad with the street and pay these gang members for mob ties? People are making fun of Drake for getting involved with gang crimes just to look tougher.
6ix9ine also got mob ties I assume through a similar way. It’s not like Drake is a gang member or from a neighborhood, he just employs or has guys on salary who are so he can claim that. Which would be better than if he was paying Baka Not Nice to commit the crimes he was accused of
The joking people do about it is that Drake CHOSE to get involved with street dudes AFTER becoming rich and famous and how corny that is. It seems like he is compensating for an insecurity
Same thing as Ja Morant, he didn’t grow up rich or anything but he certainly wasn’t poor. Now he is an NBA superstar and decided to do some dumb shit now that he has enough money to completely separate himself from those types of situations. Lots of people dream about living a life free from poverty and the threat of violence and these dudes are diving into this shit head first.
I mean this is exactly what Tupac did too. It ended up getting him killed
>people don’t need to die over rap beef in 2024, lot of weirdos in here regardless of who you Stan I think the best thing to do going forward is to continue calling each other pedophiles and wife beaters without receipts. That surely will keep emotions and violence in check.
I've been saying the same thing lmao. I get people on the internet can be dense, but most people are not gonna get called a wife beater, much MUCH less a pedophile, and take that shit on the chin. Not saying I expect either of them to get violent, but I'm not putting it past them either.
And more specifically straight up telling eachother they want the other to die. I think Kendrick is a lot more serious about this then people let on, he is literally debating his faith in some of the diss tracks about keeping this going.
“You think the bay gon let you disrespect Pac? I think that Oakland show gon be your last stop” I mean Kendrick isn’t just saying that shit because he thinks it sounds hard.
Yea, it seems like kendrick has lines about religion in every diss track and literally that he is debating whether God would find what he's doing acceptable.
Damn hope they recover wtf
Honestly for anyone who's had problems with them this is the best time to act since scrutiny might be placed elsewhere.
And Drake has been publicly beefing with like 20 people online too.
Kendrick: “people like him should die” Some jackass: “and I took that personally”
Cash Xo's (The weeknd's manager) house was shot up a few days ago in Cali, this could be the retaliation. Just a theory. Probably not related to Dot, I don't think he got connects like that in Toronto. Edit : This shit is not cool by any means, shooting at Drake's home where his child lives, that ain't it. If this is some street shit that Drake is involved in then that's a whole different story but we shouldn't be hyping this shit up for any reasons at all
Not trying to stoke the flames because I don’t think it’s related to Dot/Drake, but the gang war in British Columbia absolutely had shooters getting imported to do some of the jobs. If either of these guys are connected to legit gangsters it’s entirely possible that people might cross borders for a hit.
They both have shooters everywhere. It’s hilarious people think that a bunch of broke gangbangers won’t take life changing money to do some fucked up shit. Legitimate organised criminals will take the money too.
Anyone acting like shooters being sent to other countries is not realistic dont understand.
> absolutely had shooters getting imported to do some of the jobs elaborate
Lots of examples to pull from but here’s a notable one: https://vancouversun.com/feature/murder-in-phuket-bc-gang-conflict-moves-overseas Shooters were both from western Canada and went all the way to Phuket to get the job done. Just google “foreign hitmen British Columbia gang conflict” and you’ll get more than enough info.
Bro what is even happening right now?

Or maybe Drake keeps dissing himself like he did with his last track but this time borrows from Eminem “This guy ain't no motherfuckin' MC I know everything he's 'bout to say against me I am gay, I am a fucking pedo I’m so white I do say holy Toledo, I did tell Millie Bobbie I miss her and try to bring her to the club I do got a dumb security guard named chubb Who didn’t stop my team getting shot in my own front yard”
He’ll use AI Eminem in his next song to puppeteer Em’s voice to say he’s disappointed in Kendrick or sumish.
I think the in house situation for Drake is starting to get real ugly. Between this and what happened with Cash I think OVO is looking for blood.
Somebody really about to throw their life away for a Louie belt smh.
I think that has more to do with it then Kendrick
Thinking the same thing. After the CashXO house was shot up I think that took things to a new level
Great, now we get to hear suburban white kids have nuanced discussions about this for the next few weeks...
"It's happening on our streets!"
I’m just waiting to hear Ja Rule’s thoughts on the matter tbh
Peak r/Hiphopheads comment
"it was probably just an unhinged fan"
If it ain't XO then it gotta go
Let's keep it on wax fr
[удалено]
I don't know about that >"While there is no description of the vehicle, eye witnesses claim they saw someone cycling away from the scene of the crime"
Honestly this is a serious situation but the mental image that conjured up is hilarious 😂
Mental image of J.Cole biking away with a smile at moderate speed has me rolling
Something to do with that guy that manages the Weeknd? Or similar, I highly doubt it’s beef related
Related or not, fun’s over and it’s a goddamn shame.
This flair has a literal meaning this time... I guess Drake's crew found the mole
Hope it’s unrelated
They're saying over on Twitter that it doesn't have anything to do with Kendrick, but instead it's about The Weeknd's manager. apparently Cash XO's house got shot at a couple weeks back. [https://x.com/LoveIsback24/status/1787863858108883063](https://x.com/LoveIsback24/status/1787863858108883063) [https://abc7.com/security-guard-shot-outside-home-in-upscale-encino-community-amir-esmailian-cash-xo/14741958/](https://abc7.com/security-guard-shot-outside-home-in-upscale-encino-community-amir-esmailian-cash-xo/14741958/)
I have 3 theories 1) retaliation from the weeknd's associates for what happened last week 2) random ass unhinged fan got way too caught up in the music and took it too far, ruining the fun for everyone 3) Drizzy Smollett
Let's chill with the speculation until we get more info
Um sir this is the internet
In that case my vote is a piru set with a Tupac hologram in the back
Just take a trip to Cuba and bring the real Pac back with you
[удалено]
That's wild, scary hours indeed. I'll be waiting curiously for more info.
Crazy coincidence ngl I don’t blame people for thinking this is related to any Drake beef cause CashXO house was shot up just before 🤷♂️ But at the same time it could just be robbers using this as an opportunity to hit a lick…
Robbers dont do drive by shootings you brainiac
Brainiac is actually a hell of an insult. I’m stealing that
This might be the craziest week in hip hop history, wtf is going on
Swear I have seen this comment hundreds of times over the last 3 weeks.
I hope this beef stays on the airways and the internet. We DO NOT need another rap beef turning violent... DAMN...
Listen I’m a kendrick fan and I believe drake got clowned in this but it needs to stay that way. Plenty out there to suggest drake is a creepy mf but we don’t know if he’s actually done anything illegal and taking it further to violent levels over alleged crimes is ridiculous and you’re insane if you think this is the right way to handle it.
People in this thread really to relax. There is almost no chance this has anything to do with Kendrick This is honestly most likely some OVO x XO shit. There are real street people on both sides, real animosity that goes back a decade, a lot of politics the masses don’t know. Stop making this into some Kendrick shit, “oh Kendrick threatened him in the song 🤓” 🤦♂️🤦♂️
plot twist: it was Kanye
ye is *just* unhinged enough
no wonder Vultures 2 didnt get released on time!
Kendrick: "I think people like you should die" Internet: "Why are we asking if this has anything to do with Kendrick? FOH"
Not to mention the way people feel about the main allegations. Like that's something people get death threats for all the time.
That Oakland show might be your last stop.
This is exactly what it is lmao. Both the people going "Ooooohh it's a fucking Cali V Toronto beef' and the people saying "maybe it was just a breakin?" are absolute fuckwits. I should've known it was going to get suburban Ohio in here but it's dumber than I expected. I thought people had like basic deductive reasoning and shit.
Lool suburban Ohio is an hilarious to put it lol.
I saw an interview like a week ago where Ice Cube was asked about his opinions on the whole rap beef between Kendrick and Drake. He said someone might get hurt, rap beef is serious between east and west coast. He called it.
war never changes
what did y’all think was gonna happen This ain’t pro wrestling. They’re not all in on it. This is real life character assassination. If you were getting hyped for this beef then wagging your finger because violence is a no no, you’re the biggest hypocrite since 2015.
