Canadian rapper Top5 is recovering after undergoing surgery following a stabbing incident in the United Kingdom over the weekend. The attack reportedly took place after he attended Drake's headlining performance at the Wireless Festival.
DJ Akademiks provided details about the incident and Top5's condition during a recent Instagram livestream. 'Top5 is good,' Akademiks said. 'He has like a big laceration. It was kinda deep. He lost a lot of blood. He went through the surgery and he's gonna have a full recovery. It's gonna take a little while.'
DJ Akademiks Gives Full Details On Toronto Rapper Top5 Getting Stabbed In London, Saying He Has Spoken With Top5 & That He Will Recover Fully While Describing His Injuries, Says The Incident Was NOT Done By Anyone From The UK & Debunks The False Footage #Akademiks #Top5 pic.twitter.com/vfwCTsq28X — Real1Of1TV (@Real1of1TV) July 15, 2025
According to Akademiks, the wound was approximately 17 inches long. He suggested that the attack may have been an attempted murder, noting, 'Somebody definitely tried to kill him.'
Akademiks also addressed speculation circulating online. He refuted claims that a video allegedly showing the stabbing was genuine and clarified that the individual in the footage was not Top5. The rapper reportedly told Akademiks that he was separated from his group when the attack occurred. While taking a photo with a fan outside a club, Top5 said he believed he was followed and was ultimately ambushed.
Akademiks further distanced the attack from broader UK-related tensions. 'This has got nothing to do with the U.K. Respectfully, it did happen in the U.K., but it's some whole other sh*t,' he said, adding that false narratives were being pushed online.
Top5 had previously streamed comments suggesting 'there are no real killers in London,' which some speculated might have incited the attack—claims Akademiks firmly rejected.

Martin Scorsese reacts emotionally to first acting Emmy nomination at 82 for 'The Studio'

Martin Scorsese has earned his first-ever acting nomination at the Primetime Emmy Awards. The acclaimed 82-year-old filmmaker received a nod for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearance in The Studio on Apple TV+. Known for directing classics such as Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and The Irishman, Scorsese's recognition for acting marks a new chapter in his distinguished career. In The Studio, a satire on Hollywood's inner workings created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Scorsese plays a humorous version of himself in the premiere episode. His daughter, Francesca Scorsese, shared his reaction on Instagram, posting a screenshot from their FaceTime call. In the image, Scorsese appears visibly emotional, covering his face with one hand. Photo: Instagram Francesca captioned the moment with a sense of pride and later posted the nominee list, highlighting his inclusion with celebratory confetti and the phrase 'Our little actor.' Scorsese joins fellow nominees Jon Bernthal (The Bear), Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, and Anthony Mackie, all recognised for their guest roles in the same series. While Scorsese has previously been honoured at the Emmys for directing and producing, including wins for Boardwalk Empire and George Harrison: Living in the Material World, this is his first nomination for an acting role. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with comedian Nate Bargatze hosting the live broadcast.

Social media star Madeleine White and DJ Andrew Fedyk have tied the knot in a picturesque wedding ceremony held in the Greek Islands. The couple, both widely followed on TikTok and Instagram, captivated fans with their stylish celebrations, but it was White's designer wedding gown that stole the spotlight. White wore a strapless gown from Viktor & Rolf's 2023 collection. The fashion house collaborated closely with the bride, customising the piece with 40 butterfly embellishments. "I put it on my body and knew it was my dress," she told Vogue, which reported on the occasion. The gown featured bows, floral elements, an A-line tulle skirt, and was completed with a long veil and a jewelled crown. Known for her digital fashion influence, White didn't stop at one dress. She wore three distinct looks across the wedding festivities, including a pink Fendace minidress during the reception and custom-made powder blue bridesmaid dresses she designed herself. 'Saying our vows was the best moment of our lives,' the couple shared with Vogue. White had teased her followers in the lead-up to the big day, sharing videos of fittings and trying on other gowns from designers like Leah Da Glória and Galia Lahav. 'So there are actually TWO wedding dresses I've never shown you,' she told her followers. With millions of fans across social platforms, the event showcased not only a personal milestone but a stylish statement admired worldwide.
