YG issues red alert after Glasses Malone claims Drake tried to frame him over Drakeo murder

Rapper YG posted a "red alert" on Instagram after fellow rapper Glasses Malone alleged that Drake was attempting to have YG arrested in connection with the 2021 killing of Drakeo The Ruler. Glasses suggested Drake was angry over a rap battle with Kendrick Lamar and might be seeding stories to the media, possibly even financing the wrongful‑death lawsuit filed by Drakeo’s family. Earlier, YG was detained when police executed a search warrant on a Burbank, California property he owns as part of the investigation into Drakeo’s murder. YG has denied any involvement, stating he was not linked to the stabbing that occurred at the Once Upon a Time in L.A. Festival. The dispute references past collaborations: Drake worked with YG on tracks such as "Who Do You Love?" (2014) and "Why You Always Hatin?" (2016), and later supported Drakeo before his death.

The controversy highlights ongoing tensions within the West Coast rap community, with accusations of personal vendettas influencing legal and public narratives surrounding the unsolved homicide.
