This week, Drake and members of OVO Sound are mourning the sudden death of friend and OVO Sound affiliate, Anthony “Fif” Soares.
According to a news report, the 33-year-old was shot multiple times at close range after walking into the lobby of a building in Scarborough, Toronto in the early hours of Thursday (September 14). He was reportedly approached by two suspects armed with handguns.
He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Fif’s passing was also confirmed by a childhood friend on Facebook (who identified him as Soares) and via an Instagram post made on Thursday by Drake. The Canadian rhymer shared a photo of Fif, and provided the following caption:
“RIP to one of our family members…our brother… I still can’t even believe this morning was real. It was a honor to have shared years together and I will always keep your memory alive Forever Fif”
While Fif may have been a lesser known OVO Sound affiliate, he was recently name-dropped by Drake on the rapper’s More Life record “No Long Talk.”
“Just know man like Fif, he’s a sickaz/ You get tanned, he don’t miss tings,” Drake rapped on the record.
Fif’s last Instagram post, which was uploaded on September 12, is filled with comments from those offering their condolences.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to the friends and family of Fif.
RIP…but the irony of posting pics of someone who was killed in a possible robbery attempt, while the person in the picture has an iced out ski mask piece, was not lost on me…
Dont forget the tear drop tattoo. For those who dont know, that tat means he killed someone. So dont feel to bad for a dude who took a life then got his own taken. You live by the gun, die by the gun
That’s what it was supposed to mean 20 years ago, but 1000’s of people get those tats for the look. He fell victim to a gun..You fell victim to the internet. Neither are alive. Sad
Drake: we were close homies but we never took any pics together here are some off his instaubreygrahm
because he didn’t post any individual pics with him n the dude? gtfoh he shouted him out on a song on more life that tens of millions of people listened to….
this guy was in the “headlines” video.
You sould like a male groupie
no i didnt
That’s what happens when you claim a lifestyle you didn’t came from. Is Drake still gonna continue with the bodying people claims, or does he realize romanticizing and imitating hood life ain’t all roses.
Get out of your dads basement kid – you’re out of your depth – RIP fif
This is what happens to criminals, they get killed OR end up in jail. The studio gangsters get music careers.
Lesson learned you aint about that life dont act about it with that corny ass tear drop only thing dude wacked was aubreys cock your up next aubrey
R.I.P Sickaz Fif
Rest in peace dawg, this is the life #hiphop #you kill or get kill by someone #hope OVO crew didn’t plan the homicide
another day, another i11uminati blood sacrifice. notice he doing the one eye gesture in the picture too.
Shut the hell up white boy. I hope that someone killed you.
Ovo goon squad. Drake bout to catch a body.
Lmao i hear they catchin bodies all the time just not in the way you think catchin them mens bodies up in their beds buncha q u e e r ass motherfuckers
bitch please…there sitting ion the corner crying
People keep forgetting that toronto has a very large west indian population , So stuff like this is of no surprise.Alot of those kats are apart of the Ovo crew.
I live in Phx, AZ and I remember having a conversation with a dred headed dude from Toronto about 8-9 years ago maybe longer. He was blown away by the gun violence that we have here. He couldn’t fathom it. “We have nothing like this in Toronto. Lol. Boy, have things changed.
i been goin to toronto for over 15 years they always had shootings. you just didn’t know because there wasn’t a drake posting about it on social media.
canada is only less violent because guns aren’t as widespread there. americans like to romanticize the murders but if you removed all those weapons, 99% of these fools wouldn’t really be killers. most of yall can’t even fight.
How right you are. Take away the guns and what’s left is a bunch of punks.
Gun violence was actually worse in Toronto about 10 years back. Overall it’s a great and safe city, but just like anywhere it has its bad pockets. I live in Scarborough, shootings are common out here.
Anything for drake to pretend hes affiliated with some street shit
R.I.P…….Wish the writer would have put dude’s name in title be making the shit bout drake
This guy appears to have a tear drop tat on his face and in the next picture throwing up the 666 over one eye? When you rolling wit any foul operation in life you are doomed we all know how Drake is rolling didn’t know him but pictures are worth a thousand words
1 2 3 4 get your woman on the floor gotta gotta get up get down gotta gotta get up get down
OVO affiliate but his career would have gone nowhere anyways like most artists related to OVO.
According to the tear drop in the side of his right eye he might of took someones life in the pass,therefor god said its time to take yours.
