AceShowbiz - The hip-hop community is buzzing after YG issued a "red alert" in response to accusations made by rapper Glasses Malone, who claims that Drake attempted to have YG arrested in connection with the death of fellow rapper Drakeo The Ruler.

The controversy escalated during a recent podcast episode where Glasses Malone weighed in on YG's recent police detention tied to the investigation of Drakeo The Ruler's 2021 murder. According to Glasses Malone, Drake allegedly harbors resentment toward YG, reportedly because of the outcome of a rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

On August 1, YG responded to these claims on social media, expressing disbelief and sharing the allegations with his followers. He further emphasized the gravity of the situation by calling it a "red alert," signaling heightened concern about the accusations circulating.

The following day, Glasses Malone reinforced his claims during a conversation with streamer Poetik Flakko, suggesting that Drake remains upset with multiple people and may be actively influencing the narrative by seeding stories to the media. Additionally, Glasses Malone hinted that Drake could be financially supporting Drakeo The Ruler’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit, implying ongoing tension and unresolved issues.

The background of this situation involves YG being detained last month while police executed a search warrant at one of his properties in Burbank, California. This action was part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Drakeo The Ruler at the Once Upon a Time in L.A. Festival in 2021. Although rumors have linked YG to the stabbing death, he has never been formally charged with any crime related to the case.

YG addressed the rumors himself in his music, notably on the track "We Know the Truth," where he denies any involvement in the murder. His lyrics directly confront the allegations, asserting that if they were true, he would be in custody, but the facts do not support those claims.

Adding complexity to the relationships involved, Drake has collaborated with YG on several songs, including 2014's "Who Do You Love?" and 2016's "Why You Always Hatin." However, Drake later showed support for Drakeo The Ruler, who had a public feud with YG. Before his death in 2021, Drakeo worked with Drake on the song "Talk to Me," released just months earlier.

This tangled web of alliances and accusations has added fuel to ongoing speculation within the hip-hop community. YG's public reaction to the claims and the continued discussions by Glasses Malone suggest that tensions remain high and that the situation is far from resolved.

As the investigation into Drakeo The Ruler's murder continues, and with the legal scrutiny on YG intensifying, fans and industry insiders alike are closely watching for any developments. The possible involvement of major figures like Drake adds another layer of intrigue to an already complex case.

For now, YG maintains his innocence amid swirling rumors and accusations, while Glasses Malone remains vocal about his belief that Drake is actively working against YG. The unfolding story highlights ongoing rivalries and alliances that continue to shape the hip-hop landscape.
