Man Baselessly Alleges Drake Paid Top5 To Shoot Up The Weeknd’s Home
The world of music and celebrity drama has once again collided with explosive allegations. In a recent stream by DJ Akademiks, a man named @julianxceo made wild accusations, claiming that Drake paid Top5 a staggering $3 million to orchestrate a shooting at The Weeknd’s house. While these claims remain entirely unsubstantiated, they have ignited significant online discourse.
The Allegation and Its Context
During the DJ Akademiks stream, Julian alleged that the shooting targeted The Weeknd’s co-manager, Amir “Cash XO” Esmailian. This refers to an incident from April of this year, where a home invasion at Cash XO’s Los Angeles property left a security guard critically injured. The suspects were described as three men in hoodies and surgical masks, but no direct evidence linked Drake or Top5 to the event.
Top5, a Toronto rapper, immediately dismissed the allegations, questioning Julian’s credibility and demanding clarification about which incident he was referring to. Despite the gravity of these accusations, there is no confirmed connection between Drake, Top5, and the reported shooting.
Related Incidents Stir More Controversy
Just days after the shooting at Cash XO’s house, another violent incident occurred outside Drake’s Toronto mansion, resulting in a security guard being seriously injured. This fueled conspiracy theories suggesting a retaliation by The Weeknd’s camp. Adding another layer of complexity, these shootings coincided with the peak of Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar, sparking further speculation that Kendrick’s team might have been involved.
These incidents have created a whirlwind of unverified claims and rumors, turning a feud among music icons into an escalating drama.
Top 5’s Shocking Statements
The drama didn’t end there. During the same DJ Akademiks stream, Top5 allegedly made a direct threat against Kendrick Lamar, stating, “There’s two n****s I need dead, you and Kendrick.” This isn’t the first time Top5 has made such controversial remarks. In October, he appeared on Late Night With Liyah Mai and issued a similar warning:
“Tell [Kendrick] to come to Toronto. Swiss cheese. I’ll get the low, put on my Nike tech black, tell YG to get us a driver, put the window down, and get some fresh air.”
These inflammatory statements have drawn widespread condemnation and concern, with many calling for accountability from both the rapper and those involved in the platforming of such rhetoric.
Unanswered Questions and the Ripple Effect
At the time of writing, no credible evidence has surfaced to support the claim that Drake paid Top5 to target The Weeknd’s home. Similarly, the alleged connection between the shootings and Kendrick Lamar’s camp remains speculative. However, the string of violent incidents and dramatic accusations has intensified the spotlight on Drake, The Weeknd, and their respective entourages.
This situation exemplifies the dark side of celebrity culture, where personal feuds can spiral into dangerous narratives. While Drake, The Weeknd, and Kendrick Lamar have yet to address these allegations directly, their fans remain divided and eager for clarity.
The recent claims made during the DJ Akademiks stream are a stark reminder of how public figures are often embroiled in unfounded accusations and sensational rumors. Until verified facts emerge, it’s crucial to approach these claims with skepticism.
