Top5 Reportedly Stabbed in London While Drake Faces Festival Backlash
Top5 and stabbing allegations is not a good thing, but here we are. The controversial OVO affiliate has reportedly been poked in London. He was out there for what was supposed to be a victorious UK trip for his crew.
You’ve definitely heard of Top5 and if not, don’t worry about it. He’s the reported enforcer of the OVO squad and has ruffled plenty feathers in Toronto. He’s basically made himself known through intimidation, but not his raps.
So what happened?

According to social media whisperers, Top5 was allegedly attacked while overseas. The London streets, known for their sharp wit and sharp weapons, spoke. Details are murky, but multiple unconfirmed sources suggest that Top5 is recovering and survived what some are calling an “assassination attempt.” That’s dramatic, but the streets are saying it.

Now, what makes this even more interesting is the timing. Drake just wrapped up a headlining performance in the UK, that Wireless Fest.But it didn’t exactly land the way fans expected. Some concertgoers are salty. They claim the Boy left the stage after only 40 minutes, well short of the marathon sets fans have grown accustomed to. Whether that has anything to do with Top5’s incident is anybody’s guess.
If your guy gets stabbed in the city you’re performing in, it might shift your mood. That said, I don’t know when this alleged attack happened in relationship to the weekend of performances.
Nevertheless, we don’t want to see violence. Whatever beef was cooking…let it stay, um, raw. Let’s hope he takes this moment to recalibrate. Rap doesn’t another dead rapper.
Let’s get back to the music people—or at least the petty bars.
