by

Soulja Boy crossed a line in his feud with Metro Boomin on Sunday by bringing the producer’s late mother up in several posts on Twitter. He began by wishing him a happy Mother’s Day before going into a tirade against both Metro and 21 Savage. He was unhappy with a post that Metro made on Twitter years ago.

“I don’t give a f*ck!!!! It’s always cool when a n***a come at me but when I defend myself it’s too much huh?! F*ck that n***a mama!!!!!!!!!! Don’t speak on my name b*tch!” he wrote. “You sacrificed your own mom @MetroBoomin you a puppet. All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mom back @MetroBoomin was it worth it? I can say f*ck this money and fame sh*t and still be a boss can you?”

Despite the vitriol from Soulja, Metro kept it calm throughout the day and posted a photo of his late mother with the caption: “Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest of all time.” As for the resurfaced tweet that had Soulja so unset, Metro apparently wrote back in 2012: “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.” Check out Soulja Boy’s heated response to the shade below.

Drake’s Security Intercepts Alleged Attempted Intruder At His Toronto Home

by

It’s been an undoubtedly hectic week for Drake already, as fans continue to react to his explosive rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. Unfortunately, however, even more chaos was added to the mix this morning. According to TMZ, authorities were called to the performer’s Toronto residence over a man who allegedly attempted to gain access to his home.

It remains unclear who the man was, or what exactly he was planning to do at Drake’s house, but he reportedly said he was there “to see Drake.” Security intercepted him at the front gate before he made it onto the property, and held him until police arrived. Once they got there, the man was apprehended under the Mental Health Act. It’s unconfirmed whether or not Drizzy was home at the time of the alleged attempted trespassing.

TMZ also reports that there’s been an increase in security around the general vicinity of Drake’s home in recent days. This is likely due to a shooting that took place in his Bridle Path neighborhood earlier this week. Reportedly, the shooting left one man, a security guard for Drake, seriously injured. The guard later underwent surgery for his multiple bullet wounds. Witnesses allegedly described the incident as a “drive-by shooting,” per the Toronto Sun. It’s unconfirmed whether or not he was home during the incident.

While it looks like Drake has dealt with a great deal of drama on the homestead as of late, he fortunately was not injured in either of the incidents. What do you think of a man attempting to gain access to Drake’s Toronto home? Are you surprised? What about security in his Bridle Path neighborhood ramping up in recent days?

Questlove Says “Hip-Hop Is Truly Dead” Amid Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Feud

by

Questlove says no one is winning in the war between Kendrick Lamar and Drake and that the antics from the battle show that hip-hop is “dead.” He shared his take on the beef in a post on Instagram, on Tuesday, following a dramatic weekend that included both artists dropping several diss tracks aimed at one another.

“Nobody won the war,” he wrote. “This wasn’t about skill. This was a wrestling match level mudslinging and takedown by any means necessary — women & children (& actual facts) be damned. Same audience wanting blood will soon put up ‘rip’ posts like they weren’t part of the problem. Hip Hop truly is dead.” In the caption of the post, he added: “Here We Are Now…Entertain us?”

Cole for mentioning him on “First Person Shooter.” In the time since, Lamar and Drake have dropped several diss tracks aimed at one another. Last weekend, the drama peaked when the two dropped “Family Matters” and “Meet The Grahams” on the same night. Through the rest of the weekend, Lamar dropped “Not Like This,” which Drake followed up with “The Heart Part 6.” On the songs, both made vile accusations about one another. The drama has remained quiet in the days since as fans have been arguing over the winner.

Kid Cudi Clarifies Whether He Meant To Diss Drake With Songwriting Comments

by

Kid Cudi says he wasn’t trying to diss Drake by discussing how he writes all of his own songs on Twitter. With seemingly the whole hip-hop game going after the Toronto rapper, fans thought Cudi was throwing a shot by bragging about not using ghostwriters.

“No one writes my lyrics EVER,” Cudi responded to a fan theorizing that Lil Yachty wrote his song, “Superboy.” “Every song U have ever heard from me, I wrote. The credits on songs can be confusing when u see all those names, and its usually producers of the song or sample… Its a really powerful feeling knowing I wrote the lyrics on all 12 of my albums.” When one fan remarked that he must be taking a shot at Drake, Cudi responded: “Man me speakin my truth is not me dissing anyone. Its my truth. Its a fact. This came up cuz someone was talkin like yachty wrote my verse on superboy. Just wanted to address it and make it 100% clear.”

Cudi previously discussed his relationship with Drake back in 2022. At the time, the Toronto rapper had just made amends with Ye, something he couldn’t see himself doing with his former collaborator. Fans interpreted the remark as shade towards Drake. “Just to be clear, I wasnt tryna throw a shot at Drake,” he said. “I got love 4 him. My point I was tryna make is that im not so forgiving. Meaning he might be a lil nicer than me in that situation w dude. Thats all. Maybe that came off wrong thru my words. So yea, all good w Drake.”

Charlamagne Tha God Believes Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Battle Is The Best He’s Ever Seen

by

Charlamagne Tha God says that Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s ongoing feud is the most interesting he’s ever witnessed. Discussing the latest drama in the beef during Monday morning’s episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne proclaimed that Lamar is currently winning. Lamar dropped “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us” over the weekend while Drake released “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6.”

Charlamagne began discussing the topic by giving both artists props. He added: “They both gave us what I believe to be the greatest rap battle I have ever witnessed, personally. The two best of their generation in their prime. Never had a rap battle given us this much music. Every time one of them drops, the other person answered and musically, I don’t think either one of them missed a beat. That was just my personal opinion but if you ask me who is up right now, it’s Kendrick. And it’s simply because his strategy has been better. He dropped the ‘6:16’ record on Friday afternoon which caused Drake to drop ‘Family Matters’ Friday night and in no less than 30 minutes, Kendrick stepped on that record with his own record about Drake’s family, ‘Meet The Grahams.’ Then Kendrick turned around and did what we was waiting on Drake to do and that’s give us a diss bop. I gotta say Kendrick is up right now.”

From there, DJ Envy disagreed with Charlamagne, instead arguing that “The Heart Part 6” put Drake back in front because it discredited several of the points Lamar had been making until then. Charlamagne countered that had Drake actually fed Lamar false information, he would have receipts from doing so. Check out their full conversation about the feud below.
