Drake’s Controversial Relationship With Top5

The two have maintained a close relationship for years, with Top5 often referring to Drake as his “twin.” 

Their connection reportedly began at OVO Bounce, a basketball tournament hosted by Drake that draws Toronto’s Hip-Hop scene together.

Drake has continued to support Top5 despite the rapper’s legal issues. In 2024, Drake allegedly contributed to Top5’s legal defense in a first-degree murder case tied to a 2019 shooting. The charges were dropped in September 2024 due to inadmissible evidence.

In January 2025, the pair were seen courtside at a Toronto Raptors game, even after music executive Wack 100 publicly warned Drake to cut ties with Top5, calling him “bad news” and claiming to have damaging information about him.

Top5 was arrested again on January 24, 2025, facing six weapons-related charges. He had just been released in September 2024 after spending three years in custody.

Despite the controversy, last fall, Top5 claimed he was launching a podcast with Drake to dissect Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.” The podcast never materialized. 

Top5’s history of inflammatory remarks, including threats toward Kendrick Lamar, has only added to the scrutiny surrounding his association with Drake.
