"You'rе not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accеpted." These Kendrick Lamar lyrics on are allegedly coming to light today thanks to a wild story trending online. A social media influencer claims he was scammed out of $2 million in crypto from Drake over an alleged deal. The 20-year-old, who is also a rapper, got on a stream with Drizzy's biggest supporter, DJ Akademiks, to tell his story. According to him, he was trying to get the help of the Toronto rapper to flip the money and double it. The alleged agreement was that the hitmaker was going to follow this influencer on social media (including his businesses), appear in a music video in Dubai, get introduced to Jenna Ortega (?), and for Drake to post him on his page.
Overall, this whole recount is extremely murky and feels a bit unsubstantiated. With that said, we are taking this all with a grain of salt. Top5 is also a part of this wacky exchange, playing sort of a middleman role. Allegedly, he was in constant contact with the kid and Drake throughout. For his efforts, he would be able to keep some expensive jewelry if The Boy kept his word. Speaking of which, he was guaranteeing that he was going to take the $2 million, bet it on Stake, and turn it into $4 million.
The 20-Year-Old Influencer Is Not Happy With Drake
However, that allegedly did not happen. The influencer goes on to say that he feels Drake and Top5 were staging all of this and were never going to fulfill his wishes. Things really got out of hand for the kid when he asked to speak with Drake directly. According to him, he asked for The Boy to send him a screenshot of how much money he made on the crypto betting site, and it was nowhere close to expected total.
Instead, the influencer alleges Drake only brought in $700,000. Additionally, he alleges that Top5 is hiding with the rest of his money and has been splurging with it. At this point of the explanation, the youngster claims to have screenshots of the Stake balance, as well as one that shows Drake doesn't follow him anymore on social media. Finally, he plays a voicemail that appears to be from Drake. In it, he's telling him that he essentially needs to chill out and it's not a big deal. However, for someone who is nowhere near his financial status, this influencer is enraged over this loss. Drake allegedly then offers him some involvement in some business moves he has planned, but he's not buying it. Again, this all very messy, and hopefully more information will surface to clear this up.
