Elliott Wilson seems to have rubbed Drake‘s supporters the wrong way as he now claims that his stance on the Canadian superstar’s beef with Kendrick Lamar has landed him in trouble.
The veteran journalist, who is the editorial director of Hip Hop Journalism at UPROXX Studios (HipHopDX‘s parent company), was recently unfollowed by Drizzy on Instagram after he declared that K.Dot emerged victorious in the high-profile feud.
“It’s funny ’cause Drake’s the kind of dude that even if he don’t fuck with you, he still follows you,” Wilson said during an episode of The Bigger Picture that went live on Tuesday (May 21). “He’s not an unfollow kind of dude.
“At the end of the day, Kendrick clearly won,” he continued. “I got the calls from OGs. You know, I’m not really welcome in Toronto right now […] I grew up in New York City — you know you don’t go through other people’s project, right?
He concluded: “I would not go to Toronto if me and Drake weren’t good, so that obviously makes sense. So yeah, I just think it’s a tough time.”

The 6 God got into it with Wilson last year after the latter criticized him for shunning rap media in favor of “outsiders.”
In mid-2023, the former XXL editor-in-chief called out Drake for snubbing Hip Hop media after he sat down for off-beat interviews with Barstool Sports‘ Caleb Pressley and TikTok star Bobbi Althoff.
“Moment of clarity: No disrespect to Lil Boat,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “Yachty’s convo with The Boy was comfy and had some cool moments. I was more so clowning the comedy shenanigans with outsiders to our culture. It would be great to hear Drake speak to us again. Even if it ain’t me.”
After Akademiks shared a social-media clip of the journalist interviewing Trippie Redd at Rolling Loud Miami the following week, the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker jumped in the comments section to throw some shade.
“Lol man shits on not coming to his platform for a second time and now Elliott 10 toes doing Yes Julz run up interviews at Rolling Loud,” he wrote along with laughing emojis. “Just admit the youth took over big dog.”
In response, the reporter shared a screenshot of the comment on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “Oh, it’s go time? Cool.”
If Drizzy even knew my stupid a$$ existed and he followed and then unfollowed me, my life would be even more worthless than it is now.
Hip hop is in a seriously weird place when grown arse men are declaring beef by unfollowing each other on Instagram.
Toronto OGs? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U mean these fake ass wanna be thugs in skinny jeans that don’t even speak english?
I guess we using the term “OG” very loosely nowadays. smh
The reason Drake takes everything so serious is cuz he doesn’t know that growing up in the hood, people gotta have thick skin and not everything needs a reaction. If you U get involved in real life shit, then this rap shit ain’t nothing to take serious. But since drake grew up rich, he thinks this rap shit is serious. That’s why he got so offended by the control verse when in reality, it wasn’t nothing. He’s confused on what disrespect truly is until Dot showed his ass.
Kendrick didn’t win. Get the woman beater’s pole out of your mouf Elliott.
You sucking Drake dick?
Everything that think Drake won the battle sucking Drakes pussy
Only drake fans are delusional enough to think he won. Kendrick fans and people who aren’t kendrick fans acknowledge he won and have moved passed it. Swear drake fans are in more denial than drake himself, when it comes to his life and who he is as a person.
