Tensions Rise: Pressa, Bundog, and Top5 Dragged Into Beef with Kodak Black

The North meets the South—and not in harmony. A fiery clash is brewing in the hip-hop world as Toronto rappers Pressa and Bundog find themselves at odds with Florida rap star Kodak Black, and fellow Toronto artist Top5 flips the script by siding with Kodak against his hometown rivals.

Where It All Started

The beef reportedly stems from a 2022 incident in Los Angeles, where Kodak Black was shot outside a nightclub. While no evidence surfaced implicating anyone directly, rumors swirled online that individuals tied to Pressa or Bundog may have been involved. Neither Pressa nor Bundog have been charged or officially linked to the crime, but the whispers fueled tension.

Kodak eventually addressed the situation in a now-viral response video, brushing off the claims and suggesting that Pressa and Bundog were “clout chasing” by attaching their names to the shooting incident. The Florida rapper also hinted at deeper street tensions that fans and insiders began decoding online.

Top5 Turns on Pressa, Sides with Kodak

Adding fuel to the fire, Toronto rapper Top5—once loosely affiliated with Pressa and Bundog—publicly flipped, after Pressa called him a “rat” and accused him of paying blogs to remove negative press surrounding a past robbery scenario. Top5 has been embroiled in his own controversies, including legal battles and online feuds, but this latest move marks a major shift in Toronto rap alliances as he posted to his stories a picture of Kodak Black.

In a shocking social media post, Top5 proclaimed that if he had been at the scene of Kodak’s 2022 shooting, the rapper “would’ve been killed”—a bold and dangerous statement that went viral instantly. Top5 has since doubled down, making it clear that he stands with Kodak Black, further escalating the hostility with Pressa and Bundog.

Kodak Reacts

Kodak Black has acknowledged the drama, recently firing off responses via Instagram Live and Twitter, saying he “ain’t worried about no Toronto rappers.” He mocked the situation, calling Top5 his “Canadian sniper” and hinting at future collaborations—possibly as a jab at Pressa and Bundog’s attempts to discredit him.

Toronto Hip-Hop at a Crossroads

This situation spotlights the fractured landscape of Toronto hip-hop, where loyalty, clout, and real-life beefs collide. Pressa, who has seen international success and industry co-signs from Drake and Coi Leray, has largely kept his responses indirect—focusing instead on promoting his music and brand. Bundog, known for his street authenticity and being a voice in Toronto drill, has responded with subliminal shots, but no full-on diss record has dropped—yet.

Top5, meanwhile, continues to use controversy as currency, thriving in the chaos and gaining traction by aligning himself with Kodak, a global name in rap known as much for his legal troubles as his music.
