Drake’s longtime road buddy Top5 has turned on him, cosigning Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” jabs as “facts.”

Drake has survived loads of rap chaos through the years, and having Top5 round as his unofficial road cred has helped. But that concept is likely to be accomplished and it’s everywhere proper now.

Top5 hopped on the telephone with DJ Akademiks and unloaded a entire rationalization about why he’s all of the sudden throwing shade at The Boy. According to him, Drake crossed a serious line of loyalty: he posted Pressa’s diss observe! And Pressa simply occurs to be Top5’s former pal turned rival. Yes… that is mainly a loyalty tug-of-war for Drake’s consideration, and sure… it sounds precisely as messy because it feels. Damn.

Things have simply spiraled from there. I ponder why Drake would do this? You guys assume he’s below…pressa? I imply strain! Either approach, Top5 stated he’s uninterested in being missed, uninterested in favoritism and uninterested in politics in Drake’s circle.

But right here’s the place it will get wild:
Top5 admitted he’s been secretly bumping Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and he lastly went public with it as a result of he’s mad at Drake. And then he doubled down on that bar—sure, THAT one:

“They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs.”

Top5 says that line is FACTS, straight up. Oh man…

To me, it indicators that he’s utilizing Drake’s greatest rival to ship a message: you performed with the unsuitable one.

Now the large query:
What does Drake seem like with out Top5 in his nook?

Secondly: will there be extra leakage?
For years, Top5 has been the gritty presence behind OVO, clapping again within the streets so Drake didn’t should. If that safety disappears… who fills that function?

Right now it’s all unusual power, unusual timing and unusual issues. Drake has a complete album he’s about to drop! But if Drake’s prime enforcer is flipping…we now have an issue.

More on this quickly.
