Ish can esculate from 0 to 100 real quick when money is involved.
Earlier this week, news spread across the net quicker than a wildfire that Diddy had clocked Drake outside of a club in Miami. Although the details were so mangled, it would take an entire detective unit to decipher which parts of the story were authentic, the real deets are all starting to come together. And it looks as though it was all over a beat. Yesterday, Drake emerged on Instagram and sort of hit back at all of his critics when he posted the caption:
They’re either talking sh-t about you or stealing the sh-t you’re talking…either way the name been poppin
This came only days after Chris Brown blasted his ex-girlfriend Karrueche for flying to Toronto and going on dates with Drake while he was in jail, followed by the alleged fight with Diddy outside of Liv Nightclub in Miami.
Who was Drake’s cryptic message for? That we don’t know, but what we do know for sure is, an altercation did go down in Miami. According to a detailed account of the night by Miss Info, whose sources seem to be the most reliable on this story right now:
– Tension in the Room: Everybody loves DJ Khaled. But everyone hates everyone else. Khaled had folks like Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Miguel and more onstage with him, taking turns hyping up the crowd on the mic, and praising Khaled himself, the birthday boy. Meanwhile, on the lower level of the club, Lil Wayne had a table. And very separately, Birdman had a table. Weezy went public last week with his gripes with his longtime father figure, Birdman. On the entrance level, Diddy was holding court at his own table. While Puff often rolls with a presidential-sized entourage, our source says he had an unusually large crew of serious fellows with him, the sort that are more war-ready than primed for party time.
–The Cassie Factor: Early tweets after the “fight” included a stupid fire-on-the-flame tweet from comedian Lil Duval, who said “I heard Diddy swung on Drake for saying hello to Cassie.” He later admitted he “made that sh-t up.” Thanks, dude. Either way, it would be hard for anyone to flirt with Cassie because she was fully enveloped in Puff’s man-moat of security guards.
– Was There Contact?: Our source witnessed Drake and his crew moving near Diddy’s table, around 4am. There was a lot of commotion, pushing and shoving…but our source says it seems unlikely that Drake and Diddy ever got close enough to touch because of all the crew in between. But Diddy was highly agitated, even picking up a bottle to wave around. This seems to be his signature move…if you remember reports of him picking up a champagne bottle during the MTV VMA afterparty incident with J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar? And the old Steve Stoute champagne bottling of 1999? But afterwards Drake and crew left the club, and a few minutes later Diddy and crew left. But…there were some tweets that claim a separate fight happened outside of LIV.
Diddy allegedly felt he was being disrespected by Drake and punched him outside of the club, which caused him to go to the hospital for a dislocated shoulder (this hasn’t been 100 percent confirmed) And according to an update post by Miss Info:
According to an insider, the beat that caused this whole dispute is actually “0 to 100″ by Boi-1da. Apparently Diddy was given that beat first, eventually sent it to Drake to put a verse on it, but as we all know Drake released “0 to 100″ as a freestyle using the beat instead. Reportedly, the beat was made during a series of sessions in Miami where Puff flew Boi-1da down…but turned down the beat. Which would make it up for grabs. However… we are hearing Puff was furious when Drake released the “0 to 100″ freestyle, probably thinking all beats should hold ’til infinity for him. And just imagine how much more furious he was when Drake’s Grammy nomination for “0 to 100″ was announced just a few days before “the punch.”
The song’s producer Boi-1da actually hinted about this tension a month ago in an interview with SKEE TV. While explaining the 5 Do’s and Dont’s of Being A Producer, he said:
Don’t give the same beat to two artists. They’re gonna get pissed because one person is going to put a song out and the other person is going to have a song and they both like the song and then you don’t know what to do and they’re both gonna kick your ass. There’s ways to resolve it but it just depends on who you are dealing with so if you’re dealing with someone from the streets, I would say the best option to do is hide, witness protection or name change.
Fortunately for Boi-1da, his a$$ wasn’t the one that got kicked. “0 to 100,” meanwhile, has snagged two Grammy nominations. This is all we know for now for sure.
