DJ Khaled Mysteriously Sent A Coffin That Reads “RIP OVO” In Front Of The Gate At His Home
DJ Khaled has become the latest celebrity to receive a disturbing black coffin at his Florida residence, just days after a similar delivery was made to Tekashi 6ix9ine’s home. The eerie incidents have sparked speculation about their origins and intentions, as both coffins carried unsettling messages and cryptic symbols.
In the case of DJ Khaled, the coffin wasn’t even the creepiest part about it. Earlier this month, he and Drake had a weird exchange. Now, at in front of the gate of his home, there’s a black coffin that has “RIP OVO” written on it. The photo went viral on Twitter. As a result, it’s made national news.
DJ Khaled’s Mysterious Coffin Delivery
According to reports, DJ Khaled’s Miami mansion was the site of an unusual and chilling delivery on Saturday, February 15. Two individuals, claiming to be from a delivery company, approached security at Khaled’s residence and were granted access to drop off a black coffin outside his gate.
The casket bore unsettling messages, including “RIP OVO” and “RIP Drake” in bold white lettering, along with an upside-down cross. Witnesses reported that the individuals knelt in prayer in front of the coffin before driving away. Security personnel at the residence quickly disposed of the casket, and authorities were notified.
Obviously, the moment was unsettling for Khaled, and his entire team.
Connections to Khaled and Drake’s Fallout
Speculation surrounding the delivery has linked it to DJ Khaled’s recent tensions with Drake. Once frequent collaborators, the two artists have seemingly drifted apart in recent months. Khaled had teased multiple collaborations with Drake on his upcoming album, Aalam of God, but the Canadian rapper responded cryptically by commenting “Must be Drake Bell”—a reference to the former Nickelodeon star. The remark, which was later deleted, led many to believe that Drake was distancing himself from Khaled.
DJ Khaled was one of those figures who helped Drake, early in his career. While Drake’s star was definitely rising, anyway, Khaled played a key role. Together, they made several classic records. Arguably, their 2011 single, “I’m On One” is the biggest DJ Khaled-Drake collaboration. That song also featured Lil Wayne, Drake’s then-label boss, and Rick Ross. Back then, Drake and Rick Ross were frequent collaborators. However, they’re now embroiled in a high-profile feud. Meanwhile, Khaled still calls Ross his “brother.”
Drake, more than likely, called Khaled out due to his ongoing alliance with Ross.
Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Similar Experience
Just two days before Khaled’s eerie delivery, Tekashi 6ix9ine, who also resides in Florida, received a nearly identical black coffin outside his home. The casket placed at 6ix9ine’s property featured the message “RIP King Von”—a direct reference to the late rapper who was fatally shot in 2020.
The delivery to Tekashi was made by two individuals in a Tesla, mirroring the delivery method seen at Khaled’s residence. Police bodycam footage later captured officers arriving at the scene and speaking with Tekashi’s brother, who appeared visibly shaken by the incident. The rapper was not home at the time.
In the 2017-2018 period, 6ix9ine rose to fame. He was the first rapper to gain fame by openly trolling people. Immediately, he wound up in a high-profile feud with Casanova, which helped establish him. However, 6ix9ine’s trolling also led to some violent encounters. In 2019, he infamously walked through the O Block area in Chicago.
Despite his trolling, 6ix9ine showed an ability to make hits. He scored a huge one in “FeFe,” featuring Nicki Minaj. But his career would face a sharp decline, not long after. Legal situations and snitching allegations, along with prison, ended his run.
Police Response and Lack of Investigation
Despite the alarming nature of both incidents, law enforcement agencies in Miami Beach and Palm Beach County have reportedly declined to investigate. Authorities have stated that there is no immediate threat to either Khaled or Tekashi and that no criminal activity has been linked to the coffin deliveries.
Given Tekashi’s history of legal troubles and his decision to testify against former gang associates in federal court, many have speculated that the delivery could be an intimidation tactic. However, without a clear perpetrator or evidence of criminal intent, police have not pursued further action.
Theories Behind the Coffin Deliveries
The unsettling deliveries have fueled multiple theories across social media and the hip-hop community:
- A publicity stunt – Some believe that these incidents could be orchestrated as part of a marketing campaign, potentially tied to Khaled’s upcoming album.
- Gang-related intimidation – Given Tekashi’s controversial history and known rivalries, some speculate that the coffin was intended as a warning.
- Industry beef escalation – The message directed at Drake and OVO on Khaled’s coffin suggests that it could be linked to industry rivalries rather than street-related conflicts.
DJ Khaled’s Silence and Public Reactions
As of now, DJ Khaled has not publicly addressed the incident. His team has declined to comment on the situation, leaving fans and media outlets to speculate. Tekashi, on the other hand, acknowledged the eerie delivery and even joked about keeping the coffin as a souvenir before authorities intervened.
Online, fans have been divided on the significance of these events. While some dismiss them as pranks, others believe that the symbolic nature of the coffins carries a deeper message. The upside-down cross, in particular, has been a focal point for interpretation, with some suggesting religious or occult undertones.
The Role of Recent Industry Tensions
Tensions in the music industry have been running high, particularly involving Drake, DJ Khaled, and their respective affiliations. Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar has already been making headlines, and the fallout between him and Khaled has only added to the speculation.
Additionally, Drake’s recent album release with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, has stirred controversy, with accusations that the title and artwork heavily resemble Freddie Gibbs’ $oul $old $eparately. While this may seem unrelated, it highlights the increasingly contentious nature of the hip-hop landscape.
What Happens Next?
With no official investigation underway and neither DJ Khaled nor Tekashi 6ix9ine pursuing legal action, the coffin deliveries may remain a mystery. However, given the media attention they have generated, any further incidents will likely be scrutinized even more closely.
For now, fans and analysts alike will continue to watch for any clues or developments, particularly from Khaled and Drake, whose relationship remains under question.
