Found this thread on /r/Drizzy and thought it was a super interesting and well made thread.Apparently Drake sent the Reps Up boys (Preme and Gillastein?) to threaten Kanye. This theory definitely has some credibility to it because DJ Akademiks said Calabasas was like a "war zone" during the beef.

"Most people will likely never know about this, but Drake sent Preme and some of his RepsUp crew to threaten Kanye. How do I know? Both Drake and Preme have mentioned it in songs, and Drake most recently mentioned it on his “War Freestyle” that dropped last night.

CLUE #1
There’s a little known freestyle by Preme called “Finals Freestyle” where he says:
”Tell the world you caught us in public and you was nervous / See us out in person, you duckin’ behind them curtains / Thank God for The Boy for not being a cruel nigga.”
In these lines Preme is talking to Kanye, saying that he and his crew caught Ye out in person and he got visibly nervous. If you have any doubts that Preme is referring to Kanye, in the very next line he calls him a ‘Trump supporter’. Preme tells him to thank God that Drake (aka The Boy) isn’t cruel enough to put a hit on him.

CLUE #2
In the “War Freestyle”, Drake said:
“I know you tried to get one down on us, Ever since then there’s been stress / ‘Cause you know the Reps dem owe you one and we always pay them debts.”
Drake is saying Kanye’s been stressed because he knows the Reps “owe him one.” In other words, the RepsUp boys didn’t make a move when they caught Ye out in person the first time, so they “owe him one” the next time they see him — and they always pay their debts...

CLUE #3
In Drake’s “Behind Barz Freestyle”, referring to Kanye he said:
“They told me relax ‘cause they’re taking control / Take all that s*** up with P and his bro / I wish you the best, let me know how it goes”.
I always thought that “P” was referring to J Prince, but now it makes a lot more sense that he’s talking about Preme because Drake refers to Preme as P (he even calls him P in the “War Freestyle”). The RepsUp boys reassured Drake not to worry about Kanye because they were going to “take control” of the situation.

For anyone curious, there are several other lines on Scorpion and on other songs where Drake refers to this incident. But I’ll stop here for now."

Don Corleone

in clue 2 hes talking about the people who killed fif

Reminder that these are whole grown ass men talking about "threatening whoever" while they're literally neighbours

Drake hasn't been living in L.A. for over a year now I thought

this makes him even more of a c***
why would he threaten kanye? bc he didnt give him a beat ?

The shots by Preme are about Pusha not Kanye, when they spotted him in public but he ran. Even references lines that were said about 40.

Pointed that out when it first dropped

Pusha T got in an elevator with Birdman and his whole posse and didn't flinch

Honestly kinda believe this somewhat lmao and that’s what made Ye all the sudden go PC. Just like he said in the song no longer making secular music and all about god. He’s fearing for his life at this point it seems like within the matter of a year so something had to of happened behind the scenes. May be a reach but i’m going along with it.

Birdman did a temperature check and Push was on peace

You know why believe this is because that one Kanye tweet wen he said Drake running around thinking he Pac 😂

i want drake to murder my .........

Kanye did some shady s*** to f*** with Scorpions rollout but they shouldve went after Push, not Kanye

Other way round playboy

Story has legs, after Reps threatened Kanye. Kim sent out that tweet telling Drake to never threaten her family again.

Lol you mean to tell me after 20 years in the game Kanye has zero shooters?

According to one of Kanye's rant, he isn't going to pay anyone to take anybody out for him so that they have something over his head for the rest of his life.

roxx wlll do you filthy for me soon as I give him the nod, meaning he'll blast for me like puttin the 6 with the god

Pusha a suburban dude who dabbled in the d*** life for the image. Birdman from the mud. Let’s be reality

Saint stays to the right

lol thats all I gotta say

your portugese?
