Drake has continued to hit back at Yasiin Bey over his recent criticism, this time jabbing the Brooklyn rapper over his alleged drug-fueled marriage.
During a recent episode of his We Love Hip Hop Podcast, Toronto rapper/music executive Kofi “Friday” Carmichael told a story about Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) allegedly marrying a woman from the city he had just met during an ecstasy bender in 2005.
Carmichael explained that the Black Star MC was in town to perform at a festival, and they bumped into each other backstage.
“Allegedly man was fried all weekend,” he said. “He was popping the bows … I’m using some terms to get around these YouTube skreets. But let’s just say, his mind was in complete ecstasy.
“He was like a little candy goblin. This is what I was hearing, allegedly. I don’t know who was the guy who dropped off the package to them and what was in those, fam, but it had him on the move.”
Carmichael then claimed that Bey met a woman during his visit to the Canadian capital and they got married that same weekend.
“I’m not gonna say anything about who the shorty is ’cause I’ma stay respectful, but he met a shorty out here and she wrapped his mind up,” he continued. “And then before you knew it, [wedding bells], right to City Hall.
“The Toronto finesse! Toronto’s the best. Had that n-gga wrapped up over a weekend. Had him probably in the after hours. ‘You know what we should do next? Let’s go to City Hall and get married.’ ‘Yo, let’s do it.’ And that’s what he did.”
He added: “A book did come out around that time. This is 2005, so a lot of this internet stuff that y’all are gonna be looking for. Just go look up: ‘Mos Def Toronto marriage.’ Because there was a book written where his name was in this book.”
The book in question, Breaking the Code of Silence, was written by Alana Wyatt-Smith, a former video vixen who appeared in Snoop Dogg‘s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” video and who shares a child with Toronto rapper Saukrates.
In the book, she claims that she and Bey bought an $850,000 house together shortly after their wedding, but she filed for divorce just two months later following what she described as a loud argument that got out of control.
According to Carmichael, Toronto locals who knew about the incident referred to Yasiin Bey as “waste yute.”
“So back then, from when n-ggas seen that, we were like, ‘Waste yute,'” he said. “We were using that term back then. ‘Wasteman.’ So I can understand now why Drake — no matter how much of a legend that Mos Def is, or a.k.a. Yasiin Bey — can say, ‘I can talk to him however I want.’
“We remember you when you were back here in Toronto, moving like a simp. Eyes all pupiled up, dilated. Toronto mans don’t rate you like that, fam. The n-ggas who knew, the n-ggas like me who have memory and remember those times, we don’t rate you like that, fam. We look at you different from them times.”
He added: “So if The Boy turns around 15 years later or whatever and talks to you like a waste yute, it’s because he remembers. That’s all I’m saying.”
Drake came across the Instagram post and threw shade at Yasiin Bey by commenting: “Bohemian Bucket.” The word “bucket” is Toronto slang for “crackhead.”
The rift between the two rappers began earlier this month when Bey criticized Drizzy in a recent interview, calling him a “pop” artist and claiming his music is “compatible with shopping.”
Drake responded by posting an old clip of Method Man explaining what Hip Hop is to him, while writing: “What umi say again? Lemme shine my light king don’t change up now,” referencing Bey’s classic song “Umi Says.”
If mos def had or has a substance problem then that is something for him to personally work on and not be ridiculed about. Mos Def hurt Drake’s feelings. Now Drake is predictably responding like a scorned 15 year old as if the cool kids at school called him corny lol. Drake is real life corny and a culture vulture!!! Mos Def is real life dope and is the culture! Big difference!
the fact is this dude they call mos def was seen in Toronto looking straight cracked out all over town for months around that time. dude is being kind talking about “ecstasy” – so if he wants to talk about Toronto mans in certain ways that’s a bit reckless on his part. most likely Toronto is where he lost his career
Don’t speak on another man minding their business if your not ready for your dirt to be aired publicly
That kind of shit only benefits cowards and losers so why should we carry that on?
I’m confused, regardless of def issues and past doesn’t change the fact drake is target music!!!!
He didn’t speak on another man. He gave an opinion on his music. That’s y’all’s problem is you make everything a personal attack because you have thin skin.
Drake sucks
Didn’t his man Drake get a stripper pregnant? Didn’t Drake’s old bosses Wayne and Baby use drugs? What is the difference?
Also if Mos hits Drake with some bars, he won’t respond, so what is the point of any of this talking? Drake obviously makes pop(ular) music. This is madness.
So many cornballs in Toronto. Talking like bitches gum flapping losers
So mos did x at a festival. Drake got pissed on.
Didn’t this cornball get pissed on in a theater and ran crying out of there. Drake is such a sassy bitch he can’t take another man’s opinion on his music. He gots female tendencies it’s unreal.
whatever they said happened to Drake wasn’t for 18 months straight
Drake’s reaction proves that Mos Def hurt his feelings. Once again Mos Def is right: that jxwish mutt is making music for shopping. Only females and tendencious men listen to his music.
N!gga mad bc he know its true! Fuck Drizzy!🤣
All this gossip queen garbage has had a hand in ruining hip-hop. Rap used to be masculine, to the point where it was overboard. Now it’s feminine to the point where it’s overboard. Remember when it was cool to know how to rap? Now it’s like saying you know how to do nails.
Nobody cares about Drake. His music is horrible.
Kill yourselves, black people.
Black people are scum.
I hate Black people.
Wow, if this is all they can dig up against MosDef then just take the L and keep it moving. The more time/energy they spend on this they’re just proving MosDef’s point. This sounds like preppy high-school students trying to think of a better “clapback” lol
Canadians shouldn’t rap. Go play with your pet beaver and listen to country music, you corny canucks.
Canadians are corny.
If I was Canadian, I would kill myself.
If I was black or J✡️wish, I would kill myself.
When is Drake gonna confirm he likes men? That’s news people should know.
A drag queen told me they slept with Drake.
Drake is hurt because he wants to have sex with him. 😂
Canadians eat maple syrup snow 😂
Drake looks like a gay albino from Persia.
Nothing wrong with doing some biscuits
When you can’t out RAP someone you turn into “Gossip GIrls: Knegrows sound like one of those exploit magazines…. Bottom line is this Drake aint Rap he is Pop music, everyone knows this…nothing wrong with it but just don’t confuse Rap with Pop muisc. Mos Def is a RAPPER.
But Drake is a pop artist, what’s the big deal. He is like Taylor Swift of rap. Just own it.
But Cake has a child with a stripper….
Drake a Snitch
