Tension soared this week when Top5, recently freed and cleared of a murder charge, aimed menacing threats at Kendrick Lamar and his crew during a stream with Adin Ross and Akademiks.
Top5, a Toronto rapper and close ally of Drake, boldly stated, “I’m looking for Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar. I’m doing my homework right now, I’m doing my task on them. Nothing incriminating, I’m just looking for them.” He added, “I will quit rapping if Kendrick Lamar goes to New Ho King without 20 police officers… You’re crazy for testing my gangsta.”
Top5, freshly released from prison, didn’t stop there. He taunted Kendrick and his team by promising a podcast with Drake, where the two would scrutinize everyone in Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’ video. He declared, “Me and Drake are gonna link up in a couple of days and we’re gonna do this podcast, and we’re gonna play the ‘Not Like Us’ video and we’re gonna look at every n-gga in the video and we’re gonna do homework.”
In response, Kendrick’s affiliate Hitta J3 fired back on social media, daring Top5 to follow through and posting a clip showing the Toronto rapper being humiliated in his hometown. Hitta J3 tweeted, “Come find out then,” accompanied by the video.
Smac, another TDE associate, did not mince words on the FMW podcast, launching an explosive rant against Top5 and Toronto. He declared, “Fuck you and Toronto, Top5. You ain’t gotta come find us, we’ll find you, bitch. I’m on that muthafucka. Come to L.A., we’re gonna shut you down, bitch.” He continued, “We’re gonna smack the fuck out this pussy bitch. We stand on business. N-gga gonna slap him. Fuck him, fuck Toronto.”
The situation escalated further when Kick streamer Adin Ross joined the feud, dismissing any concerns about being banned from L.A. Ross asserted, “I’m not banned from L.A., bro. I wish somebody would, I swear to God. I’m gonna go to L.A., nobody’s gonna do shit to me, I promise you, bro.”
It’s clear that the feud between Kendrick Lamar’s camp and Top5 is heating up with no signs of cooling down. The Toronto rapper’s aggressive stance has provoked strong reactions from everyone involved, setting the stage for an intense showdown.
With both sides firmly entrenched and tensions running high, all eyes will be on the next moves in this escalating feud between Kendrick Lamar’s and Drake’s camps. Stay tuned as this drama unfolds.
