With Pusha T’s It’s Not Dry Yet album rollout underway, the Virginia wordsmith continued his press tour paying Wallo and Gillie Da Kid a visit on their Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast on Monday (February 21).
At one point during the hour-plus discussion, Gillie brought up Pusha T’s 2018 “Story of Adidon” and wondered if Push thought the scathing Drake diss track would have the seismic impact it ended up having.
“I didn’t know how it was going to react,” he explained. “All it was I knew I was speaking my truth and I knew I was speaking the truth… And I feel like the truth hurts. I don’t care what is going on, I feel like the truth definitely hurts… When you dealing with him, you’re dealing on a pop level or dealing on TMZ levels. I was like, ‘Damn, that’s a lot of attention. And it couldn’t have happened at a better time. My album out and I got the album of the year.”
Still, Pusha T didn’t feel the need to celebrate the victory as he doesn’t hold Drake in the same esteem of rhymers such as a JAY-Z or Jadakiss.
“On an artist level, I didn’t look at it so crazy because it wasn’t like I just beat The LOX in a rap battle or I just beat [JAY-Z] in a rap battle or some shit,” Push continued.
Pusha T Reveals What He Told Kanye West After Learning Drake Beef Was Over
On a related Hov note, Pusha T did reveal he’s reconnecting with his “Drug Dealers Anonymous” collaborator for another JAY-Z-assisted track that will land on his upcoming album.
“I got three songs with him now … something from my new album,” he revealed. “I don’t know if I was supposed to say that, but I’m up with y’all, though, we here.”
Watch the entire interview below.
Basquiat told us “most kings get their head cut off”. Jay z made a song about it. Drake is living it. Pusha really exposed his own deal situation, his lack of street activity, and his thirst to be famous. He now known as “pusha tmz”. But he did let us know about drakes kid for what it’s worth lol. But I don’t care about drakes kid or pushas, or any rappers kids, kinda weird
TICK TICK TICK THAT MAN IS SICK SICK SICK
Don’t mean to hurt your feelings with the all caps
All y’all taking L’s like them millionaires give a damn about y’all’s opinion
“The_ReaL tmz”…LMAO fuckin’ biter
right these dudes clowns drake Pop and had no chance with someone like push better stick to beating clown’s like meek
You can downplay the diss track all you want with that weak ass opinion but your favorite artist already made you dweebs look stupid for admitting he lost and saying Pusha’s diss track was good. End of story.
Everyone knows You sit down to pee, you’ll never be the one to end the story moving like that cupcake
You obviously were raised by your momma and are lashing out like a female… Don’t get your panties in a bunch you little bitch, can’t get mad at me for saying THE REAL facts to make you get in your girlish feelings.
If we are keeping it a 100, when you remove the ‘shock value’ of story of adion Drake really won that battle. His track was the better track. I never got why people were so shocked about a rapper having a kid. Does anyone know if or how many kids Pusha has? who really cares lol.
You sound biased trying to make Drake out to be the winner… If we are really keeing it a 100, Drake admitted he lost, and that it was a good response. Him having said that himself let’s your opinion become irrelevant no matter how hard yu try to dispute it. Your man’s lost! Get over it!
He doesn’t sound bias just because he thinks Drake took an L. Drake said he took an L in the sense that Pusha T dropped a bombshell that grabbed everyone’s attention but he didn’t think Pusha out rapped him and he definitely hasn’t out sold him. Read Drake’s whole statement before mixing in your own opinion and calling someone’s opinion irrelevant, lol. People still falling for Pusha T’s fake drug dealer talk that his brother stated is not true, lol.
I think Drake was postering when he said that and you are too right now. Drake basically backed out of a beef he was an active participant in after Push dropped Adidon. In 8/10 “he said he’s settled as the good guy” as an excuse to bow out. I’m sorry, but when you give up in the middle of a beef you lost. It hasn’t hurt his career, but the fact is he lost.
You ok little bitch? You sound hurt over an irrelevant opinion stated from you Drake dick riders… FACT is he admitted HE LOST whether you like it or not.
Drake lost on bar level
The admission of the loss is definitely huge. But think about it. Drake had sold himself as the good guy to women with his, “only I know how to love you” shtick, and his constant tributes to Black women, and dark-skinned women especially, such as Lauryn Hill, Taraji Henson, Bernice Burgos, Serena Williams, etc. He was also the corporate good guy – the singing/rapping version of Wayne Brady so women everywhere loved him. He certainly didn’t have the common stigmas attached to him of many Black men, starting with being a deadbeat Dad. So when Pusha played the “you’ve got a hidden kid with a white stripperish chick” it definitely knocked a lot of folks for a loop. My dark-skinned ex, who still listens to Drake’s music, still says he’s tainted after that song. Now, like Jay who admitted he lost to Nas on The Blueprint 2, Drake knows commercial beef don’t mean a thing as long as you can churn out hits, so it doesn’t matter at all to Drake’s bottom line (and it didn’t interest my ex in Pusha T at all). But it hit a commercial juggernaut who had no obvious weaknesses up until that point where it hurt. And no one was expecting him to get hit with a body blow.
Drake might’ve won against Meek, Push gave home the L!
*him
The crazy part is your dropping music and Drake is the topic, people still talk about. When you win, people talk about your next game, when you win and people still talking about it. That means they didn’t care what you are doing now or tomorrow.
Work on your sentence structure. It’s horrible, and what you said is not relevant. Push bodied that man. Drake is definitely too big to fail, but we’re not going to act like he didn’t get his bell rung when “story of Adidon” dropped. Homie had to call J. Prince to bail him out.
Right! Push won that battle for sure!! but i didn’t like how Drake made it seem like he had another track ready that was gonna end push LOL.. but went in on meek twice without a response from the 1st one.
What many of you don’t understand is that “Addidon” was a jab. A stiff, Larry Holmes-type jab, but a jab nonetheless. Push was ready for 15rds after Drake mentioned his wife’s name on Duppy(or did y’all forget), and that was rd 1. Drake wasn’t ready for that. It would be one thing if it was just fans, but Drake still speaks about it to this day, so that means something. And it was only rd 1.
The Drake vs Pusha beef reminds me of JayZ vs Nas. Nas won but Jay Z is just more popular to Pop Culture same with Drake obv…Nas and Pusha T have more of a cult hip hop fan base but on a pop level it’s a stretch
The battle was over when Drake paid for an autographed microphone from The Clipse during his Degrassi days.
IMO, Drake only did one song, Pusha only did one song. This wasn’t a traditional beef. I can’t say who won. This is from a person who values his own opinion.
Push and Drake did two songs
Gotta keep Drake’s name in his mouth to sale his record lol
“CLEANED HER UP IG BUT THE STENCH IS STILL ON HER!!!!!” “HOW DARE YOU PUT YE IN ALL MY VERSES, IM SELFISH I WANT ALL THE CURSES!!!”
There has to be an app or something to make Drake’s voice not sound like a white junior high student trying to be down in 1995.
Did Push get on there and say let me talk about Drake or did they ask and he answered. Push won. Drake didn’t even compete.
