City MD kingpin, 5 aides nabbed from gay den-turned-narco hub
Nagpur: A 24-year-old former garment shop salesman-turned-mastermind of Nagpur's mephedrone (MD) trade was arrested in a dramatic pre-dawn crackdown on Friday. The three-month-long operation to destroy the contraband trade ring led to the arrest of Rahul alias Chill Shankar Lepse and his five aides apart from seizure of Rs5.5 lakh MD. Rahul Chill and his five aides were nabbed from an apartment — the den of gay men — near Chhatrapati Chowk under Dhantoli police jurisdiction. The accused used the apartment as a meeting point to evade police suspicion. The action revealed a vast MD peddling network spread from Nagpur-Mira Road (Thane district). Once a small-time worker at a shop in Mahal, Chill's rose to become Nagpur's MD kingpin. He set up a shoe business after making money from MD trade. Sources said Chill, as a cloth shop employee, went to Mumbai to bring garments where he got acquainted with a MD peddler and subsequently made a fortune. Chill was once arrested in 2019 for possessing MD and remained off the police radar after his release. On Friday, four teams of the crime branch's social service unit and anti-narcotics cell under senior inspectors Rahul Shire and Gajanan Gulhane were formed. The teams comprising head constable Sameer Shaikh, Ashwin Mange, Sheshrao Raut, Kunal Masram, and others started following Chill's aides to track him down. "Chill brings MD by train himself and doesn't rely on anyone. He handed over small quantities of MD to his aides to deliver to clients who hail from different walks of life," said a source, adding the entire deal and supply chains operated through WhatsApp and Signal app. Nagpur police commissioner Ravinder Singal tasked crime branch DCP Rahul Maknikar to bust Chill's gang and expose the supply network. The cops, after identifying Chill's close aides, fanned out to different locations in the city between 2.20am and 6.30am. The operation began with a tip-off about Chill and his accomplices peddling MD across Nagpur, said a source. Acting swiftly, the police laid a trap and raided the third-floor apartment. The raid uncovered 109 grams of MD powder valued at Rs5.45 lakh, cash Rs1.4 lakh, 11 mobile phones, syringes, six vehicles, and other materials collectively valued at Rs16 lakh. Chill's five accomplices Akshay alias Akki alias Bichhu Vinchurkar, Arif Mohammad Abdul Samad Sheikh (32), Sachin Ghode (46), Sarang Chaudhary (26) and Vinayak Deshmukh (32). The group was directly linked to an MD supplier, Irshad, from Mira Road, who remains at large. Chill, identified as the main conspirator, controlled the network, with Akshay and Arif supplying drugs, Sachin providing his flat as base, and Sarang and Vinayak acting as accomplices.

Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul Trade Bars Amid Coastal Rhyme War With Ray Vaughn
Joey Bada$$ and Ab-Soul have found themselves in the middle of a lyrical crossfire, trading bars that have reignited coastal tensions—this time under the guise of healthy competition. The spark came Monday (May 12), during the season three premiere of Red Bull 1250's Spiral Freestyle series, which featured a rap session with Joey, Ab-Soul, and Big Sean. Though the cypher was billed as a celebration of lyricism, it quickly turned into something far more competitive. While Big Sean held his own with a poised performance, it was Ab-Soul who addressed the undercurrent of regional tension head-on. Aware of the ongoing discourse around Joey Bada$$'s comments—which some took as slighting the West Coast's current success—Soul stepped up with a diplomatic but direct verse. He gave flowers to fellow West Coast emcees Daylyt and Ray Vaughn for their defense of the coast, while simultaneously cautioning Joey that any further escalation might not work in his favor. 'Lyt was heavy and Ray definitely stepped/ But this is hip-hop, you know we still on that/ It was healthy for the sport, sticking to the roots, keeping it competitive/ Just be lucky that Soul ain't stepping in,' Ab-Soul warned. Joey Bada$$, known for his battle-ready pen, didn't hesitate to return fire. He delivered a pointed rebuttal that not only acknowledged the players involved but reaffirmed his commitment to lyrical warfare in the spirit of Hip-Hop—not hostility. Channeling the ethos of Kendrick Lamar's infamous verse on Big Sean's 'Control', Joey made it clear that the perceived shade was never meant as a diss to the West Coast but as a challenge to rappers everywhere to step up. 'They don't want the war with the Martian, they sendin' they troops/ At the general, but I'm the one who Ab salute,' Joey rapped, cleverly flipping Ab-Soul's name into a double entendre. He continued, spelling out his respect for the region while criticizing what he sees as overly sensitive responses. 'First off, I could never hate the West Coast/ But since ni**as comin' for Joe, f**k it then, let's go/ Ni**as must've forgot what Dot said on 'Control'/ There's still a buncha sensitive rappers in they pajama clothes.' Joey saved some of his sharpest bars for Daylyt, making a biting reference to the rapper's infamous on-stage antics. 'I ain't gotta lose no sleep to break Daylyt (Chill)/ Shouldn't give you ni**as time of day/ But f**k it, shine a light on 'em, I'mma light Ray/ Now how can I say this all in a nice way?/ If you need the attention, tell Top he gotta pay.' The genesis of the rhyme war between Joey Bada$$ and Ray Vaughn stems from Joey's 2025 single 'The Ruler's Back,' in which he lamented the perceived fawning over West Coast Hip-Hop in light of Kendrick Lamar's victory over Drake. This jab caused Vaughn to clap back with his own record, 'Crashout Heritage,' in which he responded to Joey and other figures, whereas Daylyt took his own approach with the track 'Hiyu.' While both artists insist this is all in the name of Hip-Hop, their spirited exchange has become the latest chapter in rap's storied history of competitive bravado—reminding fans that when it comes to bars, coastlines don't matter as much as the fire behind the mic. Watch Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, and Big Sean's Red Bull 1250's Spiral Freestyle below.
