Drake shows off expensive chains from older rappers that he collects on social media, and just said in one of his "diss" tracks that he's going on vacation...

One of Kendrick's tracks the video was just a map with Drake's house mapped...

Millions of people thought he wasn't home and knew there was expensive jewelry.

And people have been snatching chains since before anyone knew who D Bo was...

Most likely explanation is someone tried to rob his house. Not that assasins were sent after Drake days after Kendrick already lyrically murdered him.

Kendrick is trying to ruin the game that matters most to Drake, turn him into a punchline like R Kelly. Not murder him for being a faker.

Love Kendrick. Drake sucks. But could this be doxxing? It’s probably public information where Drake lives and Kendrick didn’t say to do anything. Just showed a google maps pic. Drake wouldn’t win a lawsuit over this.

Everyone knows where Drake lives in Toronto it's no secret. He raps about it and named songs after the street so at worst he doxxed himself. He posts videos of his property from time to time. Etc

I doubt it would lead to anything legally. A similar thing happened with Sarah Palin and Gabby Giffords. Palin's campaign sent out fliers with crosshairs over certain districts held by Democrats that Republicans wanted to win. One of these was targeted at Gabby Gifford's district and shortly after, someone shot her in the head. Nothing happened to Palin over it.

What?!? That’s brutal

I mean, this ain't shit...

Not even going back to rappers killing each other, 50 cent once did a diss music video on DJ Khalid that's 1,000x worse

A picture of Google maps is nothing compared to physically staking out another rappers mom's house, and sneaking up inches away from her while she's sleeping and going through her work desk.

I think Kendricks diss is a reference to that tho.

I was going to comment on how Hit 'em up is a better diss track but damn, Fifty is scary

It's weird because people occasionally post the less evil petty shit he does to fuck with people and everyone talks about how cool/funny he is...

They don't get that he's a legit psychopath who toys with people for fun.

Like, that shits his hobby. And he's good at it, he's been doing it his whole life.

It's not like he choose to be like that, his entire childhood was fucked, and fucked up childhood make fucked up adults.

Dude was selling crack and carrying straps before he was a teenager.

50 is legitimately "from the streets". Which is why after that video, Khalid shut the fuck up. Getting DJ Khalid to stop talking is a Herculean task.

I wouldn’t call doxxing, it’s definitely instigation

[–] SeabassDan 25 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I still think that Drake knows he lost the diss track battle, so he's gonna really try and do some damage by shooting up his own house and vandalizing the OVHO shop to try and blame Kendrick and cause him legal trouble. You know he doesn't care about his people, he'll toss his own guys under the bus in a heartbeat.

It's a bitch move tbh

There was a hilarious subreddit comment a week ago that implied getting Drake in a fake shooting would generate great buzz.

And here we are.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s his own fault for shooting at his employer’s home anyway.
