A court has ordered Drake to appear in court or take a deposition in connection with the ongoing XXXTentacion murder trial.

Drake (actual name Aubrey Graham) has never been implicated by the prosecution in the death of XXXTentacion.

In its place, they have claimed that XXX (actual name Jahseh Onfroy) was slain in June 2018 following a heist outside a motorbike shop that swiftly became violent.

Mauricio Padilla, a lawyer for Dedrick Williams, one of the three suspects, has made the claim that Graham is somehow associated with Onfroy’s death. (Williams, along with Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.)

Padilla has inserted Graham, and his alleged feud with Onfroy, into his case as a possible alternative theory to the killing.

He tried to subpoena Graham for a deposition at the end of January, claiming that Graham was properly served but did not show up for the deposition. As such, Padilla petitioned the court for an “order to show cause,” which the judge granted Thursday, Feb. 9.

The order, obtained by Rolling Stone, states that because Graham failed to appear for the deposition at the end of January, he “shall appear for a deposition” on Friday, Feb. 24. It continues: “If deponent Aubrey Drake Graham does not appear to deposition he must appear before this court on Monday Feb. 27, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST at so [sic] the court can determine why he should not be held in contempt.”

A rep for Drake declined to comment, and a lawyer for the rapper did not immediately return a request for comment. Padilla also declined to comment.

Along with trying to get Graham to participate in a deposition, Padilla referenced the alleged feud between the two musicians in his opening arguments on Feb. 7.

Specifically, he cited a social media post from Onfroy in Feb. 2018 that read, “If anyone tries to kill me it was @champagnepapi [Drake’s Instagram handle]. I’m snitching right now.” Onfroy, however, deleted that post — as well as a few other incendiary posts — and wrote, “Please stop entertaining that bullshit on Twitter. My accounts were previously hacked.”

Despite that ostensible retraction, which the defense attorney didn’t appear to acknowledge in his opening statement, Padilla wondered aloud to the court, “Do you think… any detective has ever asked Drake or anybody like that? No, they never did that.”

Padilla delved even deeper into the alleged beef and Graham’s alleged potential connection to Onfroy’s death in a court filing submitted last December.

According to the document, the feud began in 2017: First, a friend reportedly told Onfroy that Drake liked his music and was interested in meeting and helping him while he was in jail for allegedly abusing his pregnant girlfriend. Graham, however, never made contact, and Onfroy’s “feelings toward Drake began to shift in a negative fashion.”

Then Drake released “KMT” in March 2017. Onfroy, who allegedly managed to hear the song while still in custody, “instantly believed Drake stole his song,” according to the filing. “The cadence of the rap style and rhythm of the song is by all standards extremely similar and have caused many to believe that Graham did in fact steal important aspects of the song from Onfroy.”

When Onfroy was released from jail, he escalated the beef (though it always appeared rather one-sided). His trolling attempts included posts about Graham’s mother, a photo of a Drake look-alike with semen on his face, and the “If anyone tries to kill me” tweet.

As for Onfroy’s ostensible retraction and hacking claim, the filing alleges that hip-hop personality DJ Akademiks (Livingston Allen) stated that Onfrony “removed the post and made a false claim that he had been hacked.”

Livingston allegedly warned Onfroy that “although he did not believe that Graham was a violent person, Onfroy could be pushing him to retaliate.”

The filing goes on to allege that Graham has close ties to several people with gang affiliations, including Hassan Ali, who once claimed on DJ Akademiks’ podcast that he was “Drake’s shooter.”

Furthermore, the filing claims Graham, since Onfroy’s death, has “consistently written lyrics… that the defense believes relates to the decedent.” These even include a few lines on “BS,” off Her Loss, where Drake says, “I never put no prices on the beef until we end this shit/I pay half a million for his soul, he my nemesis.”

Finally, the filing includes quotes from a deposition given by Onfroy’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, in which she recalled the concerns she had about her son’s feuds with Graham, as well as Migos.

In the deposition, Bernard said that she asked one of Onfroy’s relatives to accompany him to the motorcycle shop the day he died “because of the ongoing battle with Drake and Migos.”

Here is a list of several well-known rappers that passed away due to gun violence. Since its origins, hip-hop has been strongly linked to images of gun violence.

Rappers from all around the world frequently use gangsta rhymes to boast about their connections to the streets as well as quotes from Scarface and Boyz n the Hood.

The majority of rappers use their music to express rather than create what is currently occurring in their communities.

Whatever the case, this has resulted in some extremely great rappers dying as a result of gun violence.

Over the years, great rap icons like 2Pac and The Notorious BIG had their lives cut short because of gin violence.

In this article, Mp3bullet.ng takes a look at recent rappers who have lost their lives to gun violence.
