Top5 has accused Drake of being “disloyal” by posting his rival Pressa on social media. He called out the rapper while speaking with DJ Akademiks during a livestream over the weekend. Their discussion came after Top5 shocked fans by posting a picture of Kendrick Lamar and praising his iconic diss track, "Not Like Us."
"Tell me that's not crazy. He goes and posts my opp's music," Top5 remarked. He added that Drake knows they're beefing as well. "Pressa was supposed to perform at Wireless, and I told Drake if he lets this guy perform, it's a problem. So, Drake pulled him out last minute," he explained.
After defending Drake by saying that he's "not a rapist," Top5 shared his favorite lyrics on "Not Like Us." He said: "You know that part where he says 'Chubbs' with the 'hand-me-downs?' That's facts."
Akademiks ended the conversation by asking why Top5 didn't reach out to Drake directly. Top5 countered: "When I said this guy's my opp, he wrote... 'I'm trying to make Toronto look good.' I said, 'I'm gonna make L.A. look good tonight.'"
