Drake Accused Of Conspiring In XXXTentacion’s Murder Because Of Bad Lyrics

Conspiracy theories are a new way to go for those who don’t want to take personal responsibility. Local and worldwide, many create or support adult fairy tales to avoid federal criminal charges or the consequences of waging an aggressive war.

This trend has also been noticeable in the Hip-Hop industry. Boosie Badazz blamed Russian hackers after publicly suggesting Lil Nas X kills himself. Ye found himself complaining about TikTok destroying his family. 

Drake Has Bad Lyrics And Hangs Out With The Wrong Crowd

One of XXXTentacion’s murder suspects, Dedrick Williams, and his attorney claim Drake’s involvement with the murder of the “Look At Me” author. The reason? 

“Despite the of Mr. Onfroy [XXXTentacion], Mr. Graham [Drake] has consistently written lyrics in his music after the murder that the defense believes relates to the decedent. The lyrics include but not limited to the following: On the track On BS on Drake’s newest album her loss album he has a lyric where it is believed he refers to XXX…”

On top of having accusingly suspicious lyrics, Drake, at least in the eyes of Williams’ attorney, has questionable friends and fans. The attorney explained that Top5, a supposed member of a Canadian street gang and Drake’s alleged acquaintance, “appeared on a podcast by DJ Akademiks and declared openly ‘I am Drake’s shooter. I’m not lying. Anyone disrespect Drake, I am shooting.’ That was said openly and aired for millions to view on DJ Akademiks’ podcast.”

Unfortunately, people tend to say things they don’t mean even when “said openly and aired for millions.” Also, even if Top5 was sincere (the man is facing a first-degree murder charge, after all), XXXTentacion’s claims that Drake stole his style don’t seem disrespectful enough. It’s just too much effort. Also, a creative dispute does not sound severely sufficient for someone to set up a murder and then commit an international crime since Top5 is originally from Canada. 

The First List

Also, Williams’ allegations against Drake are only a second part of the list of witnesses the defendant and his lawyer, Mauricio Padilla, gave to the judge earlier. The prosecutor suspected an attempt to set a trial by ambush; The list included many random people, including those residing internationally.

Also, none of the alleged witnesses, like 6ix9ine, had listed addresses or a contact to send a subpoena. Padilla explained that the alleged witnesses “are high-profile people. And it’s not easy for me to subpoena. I don’t have numbers, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be able to…Trying to subpoena Drake is not easy — you need a drone.”

Judge Michael Usan asked to at least cut the list down to people with known addresses and clear reasoning to show up at court. Considering the new document, it looks like Padilla bought a drone.

Drake’s and XXX’s Dispute

Back in 2017, Drake and XXX had a creative dispute. The latter started accusing Dreezy of stealing the way X raps on his famous “Look At Me” composition. XXXTentacion also claimed that someone warned him to leave Drake alone. Someone else also hacked X’s phone. It worked at the time; the conflict ended, and everybody moved on.

More To Uncover

However, there are still questions about XXXTentacion’s murder. 

He was allegedly killed in a robbery. However, the defendants reportedly killed the artist after getting everything they needed from him. The crime also occurred in the middle of the day. 

Hopefully, more responses will soon come out regarding this very controversial case.

Nicki Minaj’s COVID Balls Conspiracy Tweets Fuel Existing Concerns in Trinidad

Nicki Minaj’s wild Twitter conspiracy about her cousin in Trinidad, swollen balls, and the COVID-19 vaccine has raised concern worldwide. However, Trinidad’s health professionals told VICE News they learned about the fears even before Nicki got involved.

Nicki claimed her cousin’s friend who received the vaccine ended up with swollen testicles and a subsequent broken engagement. Nicki’s conspiracy, fueled by her widespread tweets, has reportedly raised existing vaccine hesitancy in Trinidad. Consequently, Trinidadian officials say the number of people willing to vaccinate has shortened.

Dr. Lester Goetz, founding president of the Caribbean Urological Association, addressed the rumors, saying he doesn’t think that “a majority of men really believe it to be true.” However, he continued: “Once doubt has been suggested, then they do not want to take the chance, even if there’s no scientific basis for it.”

Trinidad and Tobago’s Health Minister, Terrence Deyalsingh, denied the conspiracies about the vaccine as well, and expressed frustration at having to debunk them. “What was sad about this is that it wasted our time yesterday trying to track down because we take all these claims seriously,” Deyalsingh said last Wednesday.

Main Concerns About Vaccine’s Side Effects

One of the main vaccination concerns among the masses seems to be worsening sexual performance. Nina Khan, Trinidad’s Ministry of Agriculture assistant, said that one of her colleagues shared he “would prefer to die before his libido dies.”

“There’s a lot of sexuality involved in our culture,” Rhoda Bharath, a lecturer at the University of the West Indies, told VICE News. “What you find is that there’s a preoccupation with male sexual performance all the time. Men here believe that there are a number of things that they need to eat, drink, and do on a regular basis to be able to enhance their sexual performance.”

Some of the vaccine hesitancy likely also stems from cultural beliefs, such as Trinidad’s collective fear of needles. According to Dr. Fuad Khan, a urologist based out of the Trinidadian city of St. Augustine, that fear originates in childhood. Firstly, parents scare their children with shots at the doctor’s. As a result, the youthful fear transforms into an adulthood phobia.

Vaccines, Nicki Minaj, and Controversy

Nicki’s Twitter storm first began two weeks ago, when she tweeted about refusing to attend Met Gala due to the mandatory vaccine requirement. She followed that tweet up by sharing the infamous tragedy of her cousin’s friend in Trinidad.

The media backlash from Nicki’s tweets went wild, with the conspiracy even making it to the British government. In response, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared Nicki’s claims false. Moreover, Johnson said he’s more “familiar with Nikki Kanani” than Nicki Minaj.

However, FOX News personality Tucker Carlson disagreed. He has dedicated parts of his shows to Nicki’s perspectives, claiming them “sensible.” Subsequently, Nicki shared Carlson’s comments on Twitter, captioning the video with a bullseye emoji.

Canadian Rapper Tory Lanez Involved in Conspicuous Car Accident

By Shane Farias / FM Hip Hop

Tory Lanez suffers a car crash

Early Thursday morning, rapper Tory Lanez was involved in a reported car crash while riding in an Uber. However, the accident didn’t result in a simple exchange of insurance information. Lanez believes the alleged wreck was premeditated and, ultimately, carried out.

“Strange,” he said in a tweet on Thursday. “It almost felt like someone knew to crash into us.” Is it possible there could be something more to this? Or, is he just making excuses?

Perhaps he had it coming, though. Lanez is currently facing two felony assault charges for an incident in July of last year when he allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in both of her feet. Maybe karma was paying the rapper a visit, or maybe it was simply a testament to the song “Accidents Happen.”

Whatever the case, Lanez will likely continue to claim his innocence to the charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. He did exactly that throughout his September 2020 album, DAYSTAR.

The record is an homage to his real first name. It features various lyrics referring to the incident. Lines like ‘Girl, you had the nerve to write that statement on that affidavit, knowing I don’t do it’ are evidence to his non-guilty plea. What is the real truth? No one knows.

You can watch Tory’s post-car-crash recording right here.
