DJ Khaled received a mysterious and chilling delivery at his Florida mansion this week, adding to murmurs of tension between him and longtime collaborator Drake.
On Saturday (Feb. 15), a black coffin bearing the ominous words “RIP OVO” and “RIP Drake” in bold white lettering was dropped off outside Khaled’s Miami residence, TMZ reports.
According to a police report, two unidentified men, dressed as delivery workers, managed to gain access to the property before placing the bizarre prop at the We The Best music producer’s gate.
Adding to the strange incident, the culprits reportedly knelt in prayer before the casket, which also featured an upside-down cross. Images of the unsettling delivery quickly spread across social media, fueling speculation about its intended message.
Meanwhile, Khaled’s security team wasted no time disposing of the coffin.
The Grammy-winner wasn’t the only one to receive an eerie delivery recently, as Tekashi 6ix9ine too, received a coffin with the words “RIP King Von” emblazoned across it.
The wild encounter comes at a time when tension between Khaled and Drake appears to be simmering amid the OVO boss’ ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Earlier this month, the producer teased his upcoming album Aalam Of God with a cinematic trailer, hinting that Drizzy would be making an appearance. “FYI…DRAKE’S BACK TO WORK,” Khaled declared in one post, before doubling down with, “SO AM I THIS THE ONE WITH THE [TWO] DRAKE’S.”
However, the 6 God was quick to shut down the teaser with a cryptic response. “Must be Drake Bell,” he commented—referencing the Nickelodeon star and seemingly distancing himself from Khaled. He later deleted the remark, leaving fans to continue to fuel rumors of a potential fallout.
Reportedly, authorities have no interest in pursuing the incidents. Take a look above at the unorthodox gift.
