In addition, Drizzy included a picture of a note card from Virgil. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing more precious than time,&#8221; the card read.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">This cop follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/928773-drake-wireless-festival-performance-lauryn-hill-21-savage-skepta-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Drake&#8217;s Wireless Festival takeover<\/a> this past weekend in London, which was a staggering success. Across three nights, he focused on a different part of his artistry with a cavalcade of special guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">So it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate. But those tributes to fallen friends are always at the forefront of many minds with the blessing and honor of having met Virgil Abloh. <\/p>\n<p>Top5 &amp; Drake<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Sadly, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/928798-uk-rapper-ratlin-top5-police-bwoy-stabbing-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">other Drake peers are going through scary situations.<\/a> While overseas at London for the Wireless sets, Toronto rapper Top5 suffered a stabbing to the neck, which he fortunately seems to be recovering well from. There are very little details emerging from this situation, so future reports will have to clarify.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">That was the big danger of the Wireless takeover, as everything else seemed to go quite smoothly. We hope Top has a speedy recovery process and that the OVO affiliates and their teams don&#8217;t face any more challenges or attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Regardless, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/928964-vanessa-carlton-drake-post-viral-wireless-festival-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Drake&#8217;s collaborators for Wireless appreciated the link-up,<\/a> as represented by a thankful message from special guest Vanessa Carlton. She shocked the crowd when she appeared to perform her classic &#8220;A Thousand Miles,&#8221; an odd but very fun way to close out a rap-heavy night. And throughout the whole weekend, there were many streetwear flexes. This Cogsworth piece is the latest, but these moves have much more important and meaningful context behind their acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The hip-hop world continues to mourn the loss of Virgil Abloh, whether it&#8217;s the new generation that inspired&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":66376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[47086,47087,4662,47088,171,2260,47089,975,50,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-66375","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-beauty-the-beast","9":"tag-diamond-chain","10":"tag-drake","11":"tag-drake-ovo","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-hip-hop-news","14":"tag-iced-out","15":"tag-music","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
