DJ Khaled is at the center of a bizarre and unsettling incident after a black coffin was delivered to his Miami home last weekend. The coffin, which bore ominous messages like "RIP Drake" and "RIP OVO", was left at Khaled’s property gate on February 15 by two unidentified men, according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

The men, who gained access by posing as delivery workers, kneeled and prayed in front of the coffin before driving away. Khaled’s security guard promptly destroyed the coffin and discarded it, the report states.

The incident occurred just days after Khaled teased a new project featuring two tracks with Drake, fueling speculation about its significance.

The unusual delivery follows a similar event involving controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who received an identical coffin at his Florida home on February 13. His coffin featured an upside-down cross and "RIP King Von", referencing the late rapper King Von, who died in 2020 amid longstanding rap industry tensions.

It remains unclear whether the two incidents are connected or if they are part of a larger threat or publicity stunt. Law enforcement has not made any public statements regarding possible suspects or motives behind the mysterious deliveries.

The unsettling events have left fans speculating about their meaning, particularly given the ongoing tensions within the hip-hop community.
