Man Baselessly Alleges Drake Paid Top5 To Shoot Up The Weeknd’s Home During Insane DJ Akademiks Stream

by

Recently, some special guests joined DJ Akademiks on stream, resulting in several wild moments. In one clip, for example, @julianxceo accuses Top5 of allegedly taking payment from Drake to shoot up The Weeknd’s house. Moreover, he alleges that Drake paid him $3 million to do so. In response, Top5 insisted that Julian was not credible, and questioned exactly what alleged shooting he was referring to.

At the time of writing, this remains unclear, though Julian later alleged that the shooting involved The Weeknd’s “manager.” In April of this year, a shooting did occur outside of The Weeknd’s co-manager Amir “Cash XO” Esmailian’s Los Angeles home. According to Fox11, it took place during an apparent home invasion and left one security guard in critical condition. The security guard reportedly described the suspects as three men in hoodies and surgical masks. It’s unconfirmed whether or not this was the shooting Julian accuses Top5 and Drake of being involved in.

Top5 Questions Credibility Of Man Accusing Him Of Taking Payment From Drake

Just a few days after the shooting at Cash XO’s house, a shooting took place outside of Drake’s Toronto mansion. It similarly resulted in a security guard getting seriously injured and led to unconfirmed conspiracy theories that The Weeknd’s camp was allegedly involved. Both of these shootings occurred at the peak of Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar, meaning there were also unconfirmed theories that Kendrick was allegedly involved circulating online.

This was far from the only shocking moment from Ak’s recent stream, however. At one point, Top5 also allegedly called for Kendrick Lamar’s death. “There’s two n****s I need dead, you and Kendrick,” he told Julian. Akademiks stayed fairly quiet throughout the conversation but interrupted at this point to indicate that Top5 may have crossed the line. In October of this year, Top5 issued a similar warning on Late Night With Liyah Mai. “Tell [Kendrick] come to Toronto. Swiss cheese,” he said at the time. “I’ll get the low, put on my Nike tech black, tell YG get us a driver, put the window down and get some fresh air.

DJ Akademiks Weighs In On Theories That Drake Couldn’t Pull Off A Stadium Tour

by

It goes without saying that Kendrick Lamar has had a big year, and it looks like 2025 will be no different. Last week, the Compton rapper announced his co-headlining “Grand National” tour with SZA. They’ll kick things off with a performance in Minneapolis next April and go on to perform at 18 other stadiums around North America. They’re even stopping in Drake’s hometown of Toronto for not one, but two shows.

Unsurprisingly, the announcement has prompted some comparisons to Drake and has even led some to claim that he couldn’t pull off a stadium tour if he wanted to. During a recent livestream, DJ Akademiks shared his take on this theory, arguing that it couldn’t be further from the truth. According to him, Drizzy simply makes more money by performing at arenas over stadiums. For this reason, he says Drake prefers to stick to arenas, but that this doesn’t mean he’s unable to take on a stadium tour.

DJ Akademiks Claims Drake Earns More Performing At Arenas

“Kendrick’s doing two dates in Toronto, do I think this makes Drake look bad? No,” he began. “I don’t think it makes Drake look bad at all […] Somebody that’s heavy in touring hit me up and told me this. They said it’s more work that Drake does four or five nights at the garden instead of one or two nights at Yankee Stadium, but he gets paid more. Drake is one of them guys, so he care about the money he don’t care about the look, I would think.”

Akademiks isn’t the only person who’s come to Drake’s defense amid this debate, however. During an episode of Joe Budden’s podcast last week, he also stuck up for the performer when his co-host claimed that he couldn’t do a stadium tour. “I’m not gonna say that Drake is not a stadium act, let’s deal with facts, he hasn’t done one yet,” Budden said at the time. That’s it.”

Chrisean Rock’s Ex-Friend Accuses Her Of Sleeping With Offset Behind Cardi B’s Back

by

It goes without saying that it’s been a hectic year for Chrisean Rock. The father of the Baddies star’s child Blueface went to jail in January, and she found herself wrapped up in some legal trouble of her own just a few months later. Following a short stint behind bars, she was released and has since seemed committed to her faith and family. It looks like she may not be able to put the past behind her entirely, however.

Recently, one of her ex-best friends hopped online to bring up some old allegations involving Offset. Late last year, Blueface accused Chrisean of sleeping with the former Migos member after she got a tattoo of the “Thotiana” rapper’s face covered up. “Being tatted on a h*e is not a flex,” he tweeted at the time. “You literally f**ked Cardi B’s husband [a] couple weeks ago, I’m tired of ni**as looking at me while they f**king you. Get the rest of ’em gone ASAP, please.”

Chrisean Rock’s Former Friend Puts Her On Blast

Both Offset and Chrisean were quick to deny these allegations. Her ex-friend, on the other hand, insists that there’s some truth to them. In a clip, she accuses Chrisean of being a homewrecker and claims she stopped hanging out with her due to her morals. At the time of writing, Chrisean has yet to respond to the accusations. They’re not the only ones she’s been hit with recently, however.

Earlier this month, she was confronted at a mall by her ex-boyfriend Ronny Doe, who is demanding a paternity test. He alleged that there’s a chance he’s the father of Chrisean’s son, even alleging that he was present when Chrisean’s water broke and when she gave birth. Her sister Jada came to her defense earlier this week. She shut down Doe’s claims and stated that only close members of Chrisean’s family were present for her child’s birth.

50 Cent Thinks “Ungrateful” Young Buck Should Have Signed To Diddy’s Label

by

50 Cent and Young Buck have been at odds for years now. Back in 2014, they each signed a G-Unit contract, which Fif accuses the Nashville rapper of failing to uphold. This has resulted in a lengthy legal battle, and it appears as though the mogul is still not over it, based on one of his latest social media posts.

Yesterday, he took to Instagram to share a clip from Young Buck’s appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast. In the clip, Young Buck explains that 50 Cent helped pay his taxes when he was going through bankruptcy, even though he eventually had to pay all of it back. His comments didn’t sit right with 50, who felt as though he came off as ungrateful.

50 Cent Calls Out Young Buck On Instagram

“Some how he still managed to be ungrateful, I helped him with his taxes,” he captioned the post. “We didn’t have a problem till he didn’t know how to accept he’s gay. Got caught with a Tranny and got mad at me. Smh 😆boy I didn’t know you mess with boy’s WTF should’ve signed to Bad Boy.” His post comes after Young Buck alleged that he never received a $250K advance loan he accuses 50 Cent of promising him. “G-Unit would have this court accept that no bank records, business records, or tax filings exist to substantiate these payments,” his legal filing reads.

Young Buck is far from the only person 50 Cent has grievances with. Earlier this week, for example, he opened up about Jay-Z allegedly trying to block him from performing at Super Bowl LVI on It Is What It Is. “Our culture’s competitive. It is,” he explained. “I think when it goes past the music itself to the blocking things in business, then I don’t understand that. Right now, he’s not even competing for a slot. He don’t have a new song out that he wants to be on the top 10 or top 5. And you still competing? That don’t make sense. What we competing for?“

DJ Akademiks Accuses Stefon Diggs Of Stealing Rappers’ Girls Amid Yung Miami Rumors

by

Earlier this month, Yung Miami was spotted at a restaurant in Miami on the same evening as Stefon Diggs. The former City Girl also shared a photo from what fans speculated to be his birthday celebration, which she quickly deleted. Of course, this led to theories that the two of them were an item, which she seemingly addressed in a series of carefree tweets shortly after. “I can’t fall in love with no hoe!!!” she posted earlier this week. “Young, Rich, outside, & single!!!!!”

Regardless, DJ Akademiks reacted to her being seen at the same location as Diggs during a recent stream. He made some shocking claims about the athlete in the process, which are all unconfirmed. “I’m gonna say this now, I might be corrected later, but I’ve been hearing all about him… I told you he’s f*cking like five other n****s’ girls in the music industry. This n***a, he’s the definition of community d*ck,” he alleged.

Akademiks continued, praising Diggs for not spending any real money on these alleged relationships. “I hear some of them are spending money to be with him,” he also alleged. This isn’t the first time DJ Akademiks has had something to say about Diggs’ dating life, however. He also accused him of being romantically involved with Cardi B amid her divorce from Offset earlier this year. “Shout out to Stefon Diggs, man… By the way, there’s two more rappers, he’s f***ing y’all b***hes now, too. I’ll tell y’all, but y’all got to DM me. I got all the information for y’all, alright? Stefon Diggs is f***ing two other active rappers’ b***hes,” he alleged at the time.

She didn’t shut these rumors down directly but made it clear that they were nothing to take too seriously. “The internet is ins*ne,” she said. “All these rumors are so f*cking cr*zy. That’s why I don’t want to address it because I feel like it’s funny. I’mma just let it ride out, cuz I think it’s cute, it’s funny.”

DJ Akademiks Puts Jay-Z On Blast After Getting Dissed By Rapsody

by

Recently, Rapsody appeared to call out DJ Akademiks during a freestyle over Kendrick Lamar’s “tv off” on Sway. “Feel like a Greek how I be stepping on these b****h n***as, Akademik / Affidavits, entertainment n***as who got open cases / Women charges, they say you violated,” she rapped. Of course, the internet personality didn’t waste any time before addressing the apparent jabs on stream. In a clip, he questions whether or not she’s aware of what kind of legal issues the owner of her record label Roc Nation has allegedly dealt with in the past.

“I do want to ask you this one question Rapsody,” he begins. “You signed to Roc Nation. I hope you go up there to the office. Do you ever do that? […] This is where my rap battle, where my diss song is gonna be at with you. When you talk about people with open cases, you know how many open cases your mans got? That run the label that you on? Do you know how many cases got settled that we didn’t hear about but I know about, even though the NDA is strong?”

“You’re gonna look like a f*cking hypocrite,” Akademiks continued. “You’re on Roc Nation, and all y’all n****s in the 90s was all doing dirty d*ck diddler sh*t. You ain’t signed to Jesus baby girl, you signed to Jay-Z. Let’s keep that fact up there because I’m always down to talk.” At the time of writing, Rapsody has yet to respond. It also remains unclear when exactly fans can expect to hear Akademiks’ diss track.

This is far from the first time DJ Akademiks has been called out as of late, however. Earlier this month, social media users noticed that Kendrick Lamar landed a top spot in his Spotify Wrapped. “Normally Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t sniff my spotify wrapped.. but he’s #2 on mine,” he tweeted at the time. “The explanation for that is thats what happens when u beef with every1 favorite rapper.. we gotta listen to ur s**t too cuz of the beef. Beefing when its just musical competition helps both artists.”

Rory & Mal Accuse Charlamagne Tha God Of Being On Atlantic Records’ Payroll After Drake Rant

by

Charlamagne Tha God has had a lot to say about Drake lately. Earlier this week, for example, the Breakfast Club host called him out for filing a pre-action petition against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify. The Toronto rapper accuses the companies of artificially boosting Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” using bots, payola, and more. According to Charlamagne, however, he’s out of line.

“Whatever the label UMG was doing to promote ‘Not Like Us,’ they were doing the same thing for you your whole career. If one of those diss records you put out would’ve taken off and been a cultural phenomenon like ‘Not Like Us,’ the record label would’ve pushed that too,” Charlamagne explained. “Anybody acting like this is anything more than Drake’s feelings being hurt, you a hoe too … An O-V-Hoe to be exact.” His remarks didn’t stop there either, as after Kendrick Lamar announced his upcoming tour with SZA, he shared an interesting theory about their stop in Toronto.

Rory & Mal Question Charlamagne’s Criticism Of Drake

“I don’t think I would make that stop… Not because of no street stuff either,” he said at the time. “When you look at how petty Aubrey Graham is, who just filed a petition against UMG because of ‘Not Like Us,’ we know how connected Drake is in Toronto as far as with government officials and who else. They might just make life difficult for Kendrick on that level. Forget the street stuff. I’m talking about being detained. You can’t even trust people at the airport. Who can you really trust in Toronto?”

Rory and Mal think the explanation for Charlamagne’s criticism might be simple, as they explained during a recent episode of their show. They think he might allegedly be on Atlantic Records’ payroll. “It would make sense that Charlamagne would say something like that because he has been on retainer with Atlantic for I don’t know, 15 years,” Rory alleged. “So I do understand why his rant exists. Nobody should try to audit the major labels, ’cause they’ll see Charlamagne Tha God as a line item.”

Ray J Threatens To Expose His Enemies In Concerning Video

by

Recently, Ray J took to social media with a cryptic message, leaving his supporters concerned. In a clip, he threatened to go live on Instagram and expose everyone who has wronged him in the past. He appeared fed up, though it remains unclear exactly why. “These n****s wanna play with me?” he said. “Yo, you f*cked with the wrong person. I’m going live in 30 minutes and I’m naming all the names that f*cked me over out here.” 

He continued, claiming that he’s currently working out of the country and that those around him will “pay the f*cking price.” The cryptic video has since been deleted, but fans are worried regardless. While some speculate that he could be struggling with his mental health, others think he could allegedly be using substances. Many are also calling on his sister Brandy to get to the bottom of this. At the time of writing, she’s yet to respond.

Ray J Worries Fans With Cryptic Message

“Brandy please get your brother! We are tired girl,” one Instagram user writes in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section. “Something really going on with him,” someone else says. This is not the first time Ray J has sparked concern among fans, however. Last month, he claimed that he had survived an attempt on his life, insisting that he was unwilling to apologize.

“N****s just tried to shoot me and tried to kill me and you want me to apologize n***a? F*ck you,” he claimed at the time. The identity of the alleged gunman has not been revealed. Earlier this week, Ray J also hopped online to tell his followers that someone smashed his car window, hinting that he knew who it was. “That’s what it’s come to,” he said while showing off the damage. “For what I’m tryna do? And you know I know. Like, I know. Okay… Alright.”

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Pack On The PDA At NYC Awards Show

by

It’s no secret that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are one of fans’ favorite power couples. They’re frequently seen cheering one another on at events, supporting each other’s business endeavors, and more. The relationship dates back to late 2019, and they’ve since welcomed two children together, RZA and Riot. Their youngest was born just last year, and it appears as though the pair is doing better than ever.

Yesterday (December 4), for example, the two of them were spotted at the 38th Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City. They appeared to be in great spirits, hugging and kissing throughout the evening and posing for countless sweet photos together in footage obtained by TMZ. Obviously, their love has only grown stronger over the years, and their supporters love to see it. RiRi stunned in a captivating white ensemble and an updo, while ASAP Rocky opted for a bold brown leather jacket.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Attend Footwear News Achievement Awards

He took home an award for Collaboration of the Year for his work with Puma, an award he and his boo proudly posed with after the fact. While fans are certainly glad to see the duo enjoying their family lives, and celebrating their non-musical achievements, they’re also eager to hear more from the two hitmakers. Unfortunately, however, it remains unclear when exactly they can plan to do so. Rihanna has been teasing a new album for months now, which doesn’t have an official release date. She seemingly hinted at retirement last month though, leaving social media users in shambles.

As for ASAP Rocky, fans have been waiting for his album Don’t Be D*mb for quite some time. Last month, vinyl pre-orders began getting refunded, indicating that the wait is not quite over. “LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM. ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT,” he wrote on X at the time.

DJ Akademiks Reacts To Drake Reportedly Unfollowing Timbaland Amid UMG Legal Battle

by

Last week, Drake made one of his most controversial moves yet with a pair of legal filings against Universal Music Group (UMG). He accuses the company of artificially boosting Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track “Not Like Us.” He also alleges that UMG could have prevented the release of the song, on which Kendrick accuses him of being a sexual predator. “UMG did not rely on chance, or even ordinary business practices,” one filing alleges, according to Billboard. “It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves.”

Of course, this resulted in mixed reactions from social media users and Drake’s peers, including Timbaland. Recently, he commented on an Instagram post questioning whether or not it’s possible for Drake to come out on top amid the legal battle and expose alleged corruption in the music industry. He made his stance clear as day with a simple GIF of a man shaking his head, which it appears as though Drake did not appreciate.

DJ Akademiks Looks Back On Drake & Timbaland’s Past

Social media sleuths quickly noticed that Drake seemingly unfollowed Timbaland on Instagram, indicating that he might have taken offense to what he thought was shade. Timbaland later clarified that he’s simply waiting to see how the situation plays out. “That head shake means let the story play out,” he wrote. “Mal might b on to something. They say you have to destroy to rebuild!!!” Now, DJ Akademiks has weighed in on the reported unfollow, seeming surprised considering what fans have previously seen of their relationship. He pointed out that Timbaland has seemingly never had anything bad to say about Drake, and questioned exactly what he meant by his follow-up comment.

This is far from the first time Ak has commented on Drake as of late, however. During another recent stream, he argued that Drake’s older material is still carrying his success rather than his newer work. “80 to 85 percent of Drake’s current streams is from albums that dropped over six years ago,” he said. “And I’m being very fair here. I love Drake, that’s my favorite artist. Bro, the labels look at him different.“
