In an unexpected twist, DJ Khaled’s Miami Beach home was the site of a bizarre delivery last month—a coffin labeled ‘RIP Drake & OVO.’ This peculiar event, captured on security footage, has left many scratching their heads.
The footage, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, shows two men approaching Khaled’s front door with a coffin in tow. They were apparently given access to the property after convincing the security guard that they were legitimate delivery workers.
Once at the doorstep, the duo’s behaviour took a strange turn. They began performing cryptic hand gestures and seemed to be praying or casting a spell over the coffin. Meanwhile, a third person was filming the entire episode on a cell phone, leaving the security guard visibly puzzled.
Adding another layer of mystery to this strange delivery, it was revealed that Tekashi 6ix9ine also received a similar ‘gift’ just two days earlier. His coffin bore the words ‘RIP King Von.’ Despite the eeriness, Tekashi has denied orchestrating this bizarre act, pointing towards the ongoing rapper feuds.
The ‘RIP Drake’ coffin has prompted speculation about the status of Khaled’s relationship with Drake. Rumours have swirled about Khaled’s attempts to collaborate with Drake, only to face rejection. There are suggestions that this unusual delivery might symbolise the end of their professional ties.
In a related incident, Akedemiks, a prominent social media figure, called out DJ Khaled for constantly pleading with Drake for collaborations. A tweet mentioned Khaled reportedly gave away 95% of the publishing for the song ‘To The Max’ just to get Drake’s involvement. This shines a light on the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the music industry.
When DJ Khaled announced a new album featuring Drake, it seemed things were on an upswing. However, Drake apparently snubbed the announcement. This coincided with the tense atmosphere of the 2024 Rap Wars, where Khaled was criticised for remaining silent.
While the true motive behind these coffin deliveries remains a mystery, they certainly highlight the intriguing and often dramatic nature of the music industry. Whether it’s a prank or a sign of deeper tension, it’s a reminder of the complex relationships between music icons.
