Wednesday, July 16, 2025 - Hassan Ali was stabbed hours after attending his friend Drake’s North London concert at Wireless Festival this weekend when he was mobbed by a gang of men while in his car.
The rapper, who goes by the stage name of Top5, was in a
white Mercedes when he was surrounded by a gang, and the vehicle was smashed in
before he was stabbed in the leg.
The Met Police told Metro officers were
called at around 12.15am on Monday morning, July 14, with a report of a
stabbing.
A spokesman said: "The victim, a man in his 20s was
approached by a group who damaged his car before stabbing him in the leg. He
was taken to hospital and his injuries are not believed to be
life-changing.
"Enquiries remain ongoing and no arrests have been made
at this stage."
Distressing footage shows a group of roughly a dozen men
climbing onto the vehicle and stamping on the windscreen.
Footage then shows a number of men opening the door and
kicking the driver while trying to drag him away.
The car was seen driving away from the scene with the boot
open.
Earlier in the evening, Top5 posted social media videos of
him watching Drake’s performance from the VIP section of the Finsbury Park
festival.
The rapper is thought to have caused tensions by telling
fans on social media: "There is no real k!llers in London."
The Met Police have urged anyone with information to call
101 or reach out on X and quote CAD105/17JULY.
Last year Ali was cleared of a murder charge in his native
Toronto, after which he took to social
media to thank his lawyer.
His only other two social media posts on Instagram show him
meeting controversial rapper Kanye West on his birthday, and another tile
largely of him and Drake, which he captioned: "The President & The
Boy."
