Hip-Hop Drama Escalates: Vandalism at Drake’s OVO Store and Shooting Incident
Drake’s OVO London Store Tagged With Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
A series of unfortunate events for Drake, the celebrated Canadian rapper, continue with the defamation of his London-based OVO store. An unidentified fan – following the release of Kendrick Lamar’s Drake critique track, “Not Like Us” – decided to spray-paint the phrase “They not like us” onto the storefront of Drake’s OVO establishment, as reported by HotNewHipHop.
Accusations from Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar’s recent song, “Not Like Us” is perceived as more than an artistic jab at Drake. In it, Kendrick accuses Drake of not just inappropriate sexual behaviour, but also claims that he brings a crew of pedophiles into his opulent Toronto residence. Kendrick went a step further to render this diss track as a catchy, danceable club tune that showcases the critical phrase towards the song’s closure.
Shooting Incident Outside Drake’s Mansion in Toronto
This unsettling graffiti incident follows a frightful event where a security guard was shot early on a Tuesday morning outside Drake’s Toronto home. The guard currently remains in the hospital in a serious condition, affirmed by NBC News.
Details of the Shooting Incident
As per the comments from Inspector Paul Krawczyk at a press conference, the wounded security guard was discovered outside a gate, suffering from a gunshot injury. Police believe the shot was fired from a departing vehicle. Unfortunately, law enforcement isn’t yet sure about the number of involved parties or the type of car used. However, the incident was captured on video.
Escalating Hip-Hop Conflict: Kendrick Lamar and Drake
If situations like these continue, Kendrick Lamar and Drake may need to join forces to quell the escalating troubles. Considering how 50 Cent and The Game managed to call a truce in 2005 when their feud risked turning violent, it’s not inappropriate to suggest the same for K. Dot and Drake.
DPH Hot Take
As the situation continues to escalate, the hip-hop world watches with bated breath. The incidents pertaining to Drake’s Toronto mansion and his OVO store in London are more than just random acts of violence or vandalism – they mark a concerning rise in animosity within the hip-hop scene. Reminiscent of past feuds, it underscores the need for influential artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar to bear responsibility not just for their words, but the actions they might incite. The DPH stands firm in the belief that hip-hop and pop culture’s power should be channeled into uniting listeners, rather than sowing discord. Let’s hope these artists can rise above the fray and remind us all of the real essence of music and creativity.
