Elliott Wilson Banned from Drake’s Turf, How a Rap Feud Turned Toronto into No-Fly Zone

Elliott Wilson once enjoyed a strong bond with Drake, interviewing the rap icon for his CRWN series in 2013 and again for Rap Radar in 2019. The latter remains one of Drake’s most comprehensive interviews to date. However, Wilson’s public critiques during Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar have caused a major rift, resulting in Drake placing Wilson on his no-fly list for Toronto. Wilson recently discussed this tension during an appearance on BagFuel.

Acknowledging the ban, Wilson expressed understanding, stating, “This is his country. It should be respected, right?” He noted Drake’s dominance in Canadian hip-hop, a reality he witnessed from the first OVO Fest. Recalling the event where Drake brought out JAY-Z and Eminem, Wilson recognized the significant shift in the hip-hop landscape. “This is big,” he admitted, underscoring why he avoids Toronto now.

Despite not fearing for his safety, Wilson emphasized respecting Drake’s territory. He also highlighted the potential dangers posed by obsessive fans, remarking, “They thirsty and crazy. This Trumpian type era of n**gas. I don’t want that cornball sh*t.”

Wilson has previously addressed his fallout with Drake, including an instance where the rapper unfollowed him on social media after a critique of “The Heart Part 6.” During a Bigger Picture podcast appearance, Wilson lamented the deteriorated relationship, saying, “I got my emotions about it. But look it’s hard… That’s my guy, I respect him.”

“Bermuda Triangle” by Lexi Berg shares haunting echoes of feeling lost

Lexi Berg

Lexi Berg delivers yet another heart-stirring masterpiece with her latest single, “Bermuda Triangle,” a stunning emotional ballad that dives deep into the heart of feeling like an outsider. Born in Stockholm and raised on a houseboat, Lexi’s distinct upbringing gives her music an unorthodox yet deeply evocative edge. Following the success of her previous release, “Lonely Satellite,” this mesmerizing track showcases her evolution as an artist and storyteller.

Co-written with the acclaimed hitmakers Jim Eliot and Grammy-winning Jimmy Hogarth, “Bermuda Triangle” beautifully represents an artful exploration of what it means to feel adrift, yearning for connection in an increasingly isolating world yet unable to find it fully. The song commences with delicate classical piano melodies that establish a reflective ambiance, allowing Lexi’s haunting vocals to take center stage, laying the foundation for the intimate vulnerability that unfolds. As she sings, the audience feels lost in the whirlpools of her emotional core, capturing the feeling of being unseen and unheard while longing for acknowledgment and understanding amidst the chaos of life.

Lexi’s intricate production and poignant instrumental delivery set her apart today’s music landscape, projecting her undeniable songwriting skills like a lighthouse beam in the fog. Each lyric gives the song an almost confessional atmosphere, as Lexi articulates internal struggles that can seem as vast and mysterious as the “Bermuda Triangle” itself.

The metaphoric use of space imagery conveys the profundity of her emotions, evoking a sense of floating in a void where feelings run deep, but words seem inadequate. The song’s powerful crescendo creates a magnetic moment of enchantment, leaving listeners both breathless and aching for more.

In the constantly spinning “Bermuda Triangle,” Lexi Berg taps into the rising swell of emotional alienation, crafting a ballad that resonates universally and lingers in the heart long after the final note. It’s a compelling reminder that sometimes, even in our loneliness, genuine isolation is not inevitable. Embracing the opportunity to immerse oneself in Lexi Berg’s enchanting world is an experience not to be missed.
