It seems like the drama between Drake and Top5 is far from over, and now Joe Budden is caught in the middle! A recent track by Drake, titled ‘ICEMAN,’ features lyrics that many interpreted as a diss towards a former associate who allegedly sold their OVO chain. Naturally, fingers pointed towards Top5, especially given their history.
Budden’s Assumption and Top5’s Fiery Response
During a discussion on his podcast, Joe Budden weighed in on Drake’s new album, ‘Make Them Cry.’ When the lyrics about the sold chain came up, Budden jumped to the conclusion that Drake was referring to Top5, even suggesting Drake would know Top5 was the type to sell his owl chain. His co-hosts, however, questioned why Drake would sound so hurt over such a sale, especially considering their past friendship.
But Top5 isn’t taking the accusation lying down! He recently took to his Instagram Story to vehemently deny ever owning an OVO chain in the first place. In a direct message to Joe Budden, Top5 wrote, ‘I never owned a owl chain in my life you fool [five crying-laughing emojis] @joebudden I’LL BOOM IT ON YOU.’ Ouch! It looks like Budden might have jumped the gun on this one.
The History of Drake and Top5’s Beef
For those who might not be up-to-date, the beef between Drake and Top5 stems from a once-strong friendship. Drake had even supported Top5 through legal troubles, including covering legal fees for a first-degree murder case. However, things soured when Drake promoted music from Pressa, an artist with whom Top5 has a known beef.
This perceived betrayal led Top5 to start dissing Drake. While Drake hasn’t publicly responded to these disses directly, many believe the ‘ICEMAN’ track is his subtle, yet pointed, way of addressing the situation and the alleged sale of the OVO chain. Whether this mystery will ever be fully resolved remains to be seen.
