Drake’s longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib reflected on being the target of a Pusha T’s barbs in an interview with Rolling Stone. The OVO Sound co-founder, who has multiple sclerosis, shared his thoughts on King Push’s lyrics about Shebib’s disease from “The Story Of Adidon” diss track.
“I guess all I’ll say is that was just a different thing for me,” he said. “Different than a bar that he gets off. No real comment. I made my comment. It was National MS Awareness day.”
Pusha’s diss famously exposed Drake for “hiding a child” from the public, but it also targeted 40 in a brutal manner. The Clipse MC rapped, “OVO 40, hunched over like he 80, tick, tick, tick/How much time he got? That man is sick, sick, sick.”
At the time, Shebib’s only public comment on the lyrics was a tweet directing people’s attention to World MS Day. But when questioned about it years later, the veteran producer admitted he thought Pusha crossed a line.
“Like shit, for sure,” he said regarding how it made him feel. “Like shit. Ultimately, I like turning things into positive situations or brighter sides. And if that brings awareness to my disease on a bigger level, I was happy about that. That’s what I used it for. That ultimately is a good thing for me. I like that transaction we had from that perspective. I’m very vocal about it.”
Drake Says He Has No Desire To End Pusha T Beef
Last year, Drake reflected on his beef with Pusha in an interview with Rap Radar. During the conversation, he revealed “The Story Of Adidon” lyrics about Shebib struck a nerve.
“The part that hit me the most, which is wishing that my friend who has an illness dies — that shit, to me, is not really wavy,” he explained. “I’m just not with that.”
Revisit Drake’s thoughts on the song below.
Pusha T the Goat, Dickeata Drizzy crying lol…whutta pussy, would you rather fight? Lol doubt it.
BREAKING NEWS: DISS TRACKS ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE SHIT
That man don’t want no beef with Pusha. Push ain’t doing it for number one’s or billboard or the pop charts. He trying be a goat. Drake is monster hit maker but he ain’t a top tier rapper like Push.
Nobody won that beef. Everyone took an L. It hurt Drake’s family and image, and made Push look desperate and whack. People hardly remember Pusha’s bars in the beef, just the dirt he dug up on Drake. I feel like Drake could have gone bar for bar with Push, but Push just wanted to win by any means necessary, even at the expense of looking tasteless with the MS line, bringing family and children into the beef, etc. Pusha was willing to self-destruct to take Drake down in an attempt to catapult his career and become a household name. Drake thought he wanted the smoke and learned a lesson.
I stopped reading when you said everyone took an L. NOPE!!!! Just Drake &&,his crew. Pusha Thanos spared nothing, just like Drake in all his beefs prior to Push. King Push did wtf he was supposed to do!
Not true at all homie. Push sounded desperate and weak? Come on bro. Did Tupac sound weak saying he fucked biggie’s wife? Did 50 sound desperate saying he’ll “spray ya moms crib and let they ass look for me?” Niggaz gotta just chalk it up and give Push his flowers. Niggaz be copping out saying “he took it too far.” The niggaz still feeling the sting of bars from years ago. That’s how you make an impact. That’s the skill and essence of true hip hop. Niggaz got the hip hop game all the way fucked up smh.
It was a diss track. Drake lost. Drake even admitted he lost. And now you’ve lost your mind as well. It was 2 years ago. Drake can probably out dance, and get more radio play than Push but not out rap him.
Push did not lool desperate and wack. He got the final word and humbled Drake. What I do know is that I remember a bunch of Pushas bars from this beef but cant even remember what Drakes song is called. And in a battle you’re supposed to win by any means so that argument is invalid. Drake is mad because he had nothing he could fire back with which is why he took the l and kept it moving.
Nobody defends drake or 40 kebab besides fake ass Canadians and teenage girls.
Aye, as a Canadian, we usually think he’s full of shit too.
Pusha, with his fake drug dealing stories was a errand boy end of.
Drake might not be a drug dealer or come from the streets but he makes music that people like and appeals to them.
Pusha is severely jealous of the numbers.
I ain’t a drake but numbers don’t lie
If you say do. You just love Drake Tootsie Slide.
Its possible to buy streams and pay djs to play music so yes, numbers do lie.
i still look at this man drake and i feel hollow inside.
If a diss track made you feel like shit then it did what it was supposed to do. These dudes cant have it both ways. They dont write their own lyrics, they play the victim, and at the same time claim they gangster and claim to be the best in the game. FOH. bunch of soft ass lames
How many years has it been now, and these dudes are still in their feelings? The more they complain about a line in a diss track, the more it tells you that Drake wasn’t built for what woulda happened after this if he woulda took it further. “Addidon” was a jab.

Sensitive thugs, you all need hugs
Awww boo hoo… if this guy cant take the heat , he should have stayed out of the kitchen . Battles can sometimes get heated . If he can’t handle it, he should have never got into hip hop .
What the fuc you mean he took it too far. It’s a DISS TRACK….Key word DISS it’s not ment to be tasteful what you thought a DISS meant.
Pusha T clearly won ???
That’s what it was suppose to do.
Look at you, SENSITIVE! SMH
Drake: I told you keep playin’ with my name and I’ma let it ring on you/ Like Virginia Williams
Push: Word? Hold my beer…
Keep these pussy canarians out of hiphop. Learn history in hiphop b4 stepping into battle arenas
4 the record im a fan of both drake and 40
The fact that a good amount of hiphop fans think the essence of hip-hop is who can hurt each other more with words shows why the majority of the music world thinks hiphop is a joke. If 40 went at Push for making the choice to sell crack to his own community (allegedly), you would all say hes racist. But Push makes light of a disease that theres no cure for and it’s “ballsy.” Rappers have shown over the past month that they are way too sensitive to be dishing out jokes about incurable diseases.
We dont think this is the essence of hip hop. But its most definetly the essence of a battle.
ITS TIME TO BEAT UP WHITE PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM SUFFER.
Go ahead, bitch. You pussies only go after women and the Fh@gs that apologize and kiss your ashy asses. You bitch asses can’t even shoot straight, or wear your pants around your waist. Do something to a real man and you’ll get your ass handed to you.
Shit yo bitch ass up cave chimp..you ain’t on shit BITCH
All three of you or so ignorant
These dudes is sensitive
Agreed it’s messed up but man all time great diss track because the only response back for it was Drake and his camp just being sad that it was so mean. And it was and Pusha has to live with doing a terrible thing but jeez was it brutal, clearly. Wishing 40 good health and success, seems like a good guy.
Pusha Thanos catching bodies. Sheeesh he making people reflect on their life and spiral into a deep depression. Drake is still mad and ashamed he got bodied.
Pusha Thanos snaps his fingers and its game over.
lol. like fo real
So sensitive. As a Canadian, I am ashamed at the softness exhibited by the whole crew
Ahahahaha! That Pusha shit gotta be the best diss record of all time for these pussies to still be butt hurt by it. Hilarious! Pusha got both those sweethearts goin around talkin about he went too far! ???? Here it is from now on. Drake stay in your lane, cause y’all clearly don’t understand Hip Hop culture. Ahahahahahaha!
I guess pretending to be a hustler is cooler? Why pusha have to work like an employee for Kanye if the “only rapper who sold more dope then me is easy e” – is being phony understanding hip hop culture lol?
Yeah, Push actually did hustle jackass. And when you WORK for someone, it is always “like and employee” jackass. I’m guessing you’re a failed child actor who has someone writing your comments for you? LOL
do you have his poster on your wall too? After paying the IRS, push walks away with 115k net income for managing good music which is embarrassing when his whole aura was being rich from dope. Drake spends that on champagne on a Wednesday night. Who talks the most about being a hustler and who is actually hustling? This is chess, but I don’t blame you for being so naive
Drake comes from a pampered life, so yeah he drinking Champagne will niggaz on the corner and Ave with red cups on brown water…but I guess you like that soft baby shit Drake spits. More power to you!
Bruh you think pusha is the only rapper to lie lmfao yall quick to call this man a fake drug dealer look at jay, nas proved that man wasnt a dope dealer, the game a fake blood drake a fake artist.
Don’t discredit this man He murdered drake drake even admits he loss why yall drake fan boys still trying to hold him up
Do yourself a favor and read the whole Rolling Stone article Aubrey and “40” Shitbib we’re both child actors that came from families with money they we’re never in the streets and I mean “NEVER” these dudes never hustled a day in there life. If you try to say different your a damn liar plus it also says that in the article lol
Beyonce/Solange, J.Cole, Barack Obama all were born privileged yet everyone wants to crown them the leaders of the black struggle. Go figure!
Who gives a fuck how it made him feel? This ain’t Dr Phil. Clap back or or shut the fuck up, don’t bitch about it for 2 years
All in the past. We’ve got bigger and more important issues at hand right now.
But you’re on this site. And commenting. Chill homie with the hypocrisy.
Pusha T hurt those guys souls
40 was just a casualty of war. It happens in hip hop: faith, junior mafia, Ashanti and countless others.
With that said, I’m down for Drake and Pusha to settle their differences
More important things to worry about now
Pusha T just sonned Drake and his boy…plain and simple. Cup cake Drake is not no street nigga and didn’t know how to handle him and go for the jugluar.
Bottom line Pusha T bombed on them motherfuckers, let it go Bitchboy’s
Rent Free… he could of came back but… he didn’t
Could you imagine if Pusha dropped a diss track on them with the same level of viciousness as tracks like ether , hit em up , or no Vaseline ? These 2 clowns would have slit their wrists and jumped off a bridge . Drake is lucky he’s in the hip hop industry at this current time in the current state that it is at.
You can’t take a diss then you shouldn’t be in the rap game. On any level. And he didn’t wish him to die he just said his ass was sick and doesn’t know how much time he’s got.
With all due respect for 40, did anyone ask him how he felt when drake not only dissed Pusha’s wife but also dissed kid cudi’s mental health on 2 birds, 1 stone. You cant talk about being bullied when you never stopped your supposedly close friend from bullying.
On top of that, does anybody remember when on joe Budden podcast when Pusha said that he got info about drake’s kid from a girl 40s been talking to? Is anyone gonna ask 40 or drake?
Drake is a pussy!
How much longer do we have to keep pretending pusha is some amazing mc? He fucking sux, and you all know it. Congrats on beating a pop singer in a rap battle.
Nothing like a borderline senior citizen rapping about moving keys…grow the f up already
