Toronto rapper Top5 continues to stir headlines—this time by linking up with No Jumper host Adam22 for a visit to his old neighborhood in what he called “the trenches.” The surprise meet-up included a tour of Top5’s childhood area, a stop at his mother’s house, and an introduction to several people in his circle. The moment was caught on video and shared via DJ Akademiks TV, sparking instant buzz online.

The link-up marked a rare collaboration between two of hip-hop’s most polarizing figures. While their paths haven’t crossed much in the past, current tensions in the culture—especially involving Wack 100 and the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef—are bringing new alliances into focus.

Top5 Films New Visual in Pressa’s Backyard

As if the tour wasn’t headline-worthy enough, Top5 also shot a music video in Toronto’s Driftwood neighborhood, the well-known stomping grounds of rapper Pressa and the BFR (Blue Feather Records) camp. This move is bold considering the two camps fell out weeks ago and are currently beefing. Top5’s decision to shoot in such a recognized territory adds another layer of intensity to his current media run.

It’s unclear whether the video shoot included any collaborative gestures toward Pressa or BFR affiliates, but the symbolism of entering and filming in Driftwood wasn’t lost on fans and industry watchers.

Wack 100 Remains a Common Enemy

One of the biggest threads connecting Top5 and Adam22 now appears to be their shared history with Wack 100. Adam has frequently collaborated and argued with Wack on No Jumper, while Top5 has been one of Wack’s loudest critics from the North.

During their meetup in Toronto, Adam FaceTimed Wack 100—prompting Top5 to throw shade on camera. This viral moment added fuel to the ongoing cross-border tensions and highlighted how the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake saga has evolved into a web of personal and regional rivalries.

Wack previously questioned Top5’s reputation, affiliations, and legal issues, which led the Toronto rapper to clap back publicly. The hostility has only escalated from there.
Top5 vs. Kendrick Lamar?

Top5’s involvement in the Kendrick Lamar beef started as a vocal defense of Drake, but the situation has intensified. Reports emerged that Top5 tried to gain access to the hotel where Kendrick was allegedly staying during his Toronto tour stop—though unconfirmed, this detail added to the rapper’s image as a fierce city loyalist and provocateur.

Adam22’s Evolving Role in Urban Media

Adam22, still often discussed for his relationship with Lena The Plug, may now be repositioning his role in hip-hop media. His recent Toronto visit and time spent with Top5 indicate a potential shift from traditional podcasting into more on-the-ground content in major urban hubs like Toronto.

Some fans believe this partnership with Top5 could evolve into a broader media alliance that crosses borders and breaks rules.
Conclusion

Between a gritty neighborhood tour, a high-profile FaceTime call with Wack 100, and a bold music video shoot in Driftwood—Top5 is playing chess in the streets of Toronto, not checkers. With Adam22 entering the mix and deeper rivalries still unfolding, this latest chapter hints at something bigger than content—it’s culture, reputation, and regional power plays all converging.
