Some days after releasing a hot diss track that started a quarrel with Kendrick Lamar a fresh, the Police helicopters descended on Drake’s house in Toronto just like it happens in movies. The incident took place when gunfire was heard near the rapper’s luxurious compound leading to a situation where one of his security officers was shot and got injured hence this could be a gang-hit attempt.
Despite the mysterious reason behind it, the shooting was a confirmation of the existing theories on Drake’s strong underworld ties and fears that the continuing rap enmity might lead to a street confrontation. It should be noted that Kendrick had people and later on we learned that these were his veritable informers whom he called “moles” who filled him in on Drake.
Drake has made no secret of embracing a mobster persona, frequently name-dropping criminal organizations like the Halal Gang, and Somali mobs, and even referencing his own “shooters” on tracks. One of his closest associates is a man named “Chubbs,” who has been rumored to handle sensitive situations as Drake’s muscle.
Some claim that Drake and J. Prince’s influential Houston family are associated, being the actual “Godfathers” who are managing the security in rap music through criminal acts such as running illegal gambling operations. It means the rabbit hole goes much more profound.
Rumors persist that Drake is employing obscure shell companies to help hide his street team’s shady deeds behind legal business fronts. One of those companies, Silence Policy LLC, is believed by some to be Drake’s secret empire.
Drake’s mob ties can no longer be viewed as simply part of his rap persona, due to the increasingly damning details being revealed. The shooting outside his estate confirms his position as the kingpin of hip-hop – for some reason or another. With tensions still simmering in his rivalries, all eyes are now on Drake’s next power move to assert dominance in the streets and on the charts.
