Mack Maine and Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence “Punch” Henderson have gotten into their own back-and-forth after Drake responded to Kendrick Lamar on the diss track “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50)”.
Maine, who is the president of Drake’s former record label Young Money Entertainment, began by asking Punch on X (formerly Twitter) if he was still in the air after the record executive tweeted about boarding a flight to New Zealand.

Mack then followed up by quoting a line from Drizzy’s diss record: “I’m in the trenches babbbyyy. Just makin sure you made it safe. #DropAndGimme50.”
Punch quickly returned the favor by making a reference to Kendrick’s own diss towards Drake: “Appreciate you. Made to NZ safe and sound. SZA tryna convince me to go hiking but I ain’t really Like That.”
Mack replied: “#Barz but if you do go when you fall make sure you #DropAndGimme50 ya heard me!! I was just checkin on ya tho… You usually get ya @stephenasmith & @RealSkipBayless on… you was real quiet today ain’t know if yall had wifi on the [plane]… Enjoy NZ.”
He added: “PS Da Canadian got nikkaz leavin [the U.S.] and it ain’t been 24 hours… Lil weaux [flying] to New Zealand to go hiking you could’ve did that in Runyon weaux. #DontSNOOZEandMissDaMoment #DropAndGimme50.”

The TDE executive responded: “Wait… are you trying to get a rise out of me Mack Maine?”
Mack simply replied with the pause button emoji.
The relatively light-hearted exchange comes after Drake finally responded to Kendrick Lamar and various others such as Rick Ross, Future, Metro Boomin and The Weeknd on “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50).”
The track featured several jabs at Kendrick including: “You better do that motherfuckin’ show inside the bitty/ Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty/ Then we need a verse for the Swifties.”

He also rapped: “How the fuck you big steppin’ with a size seven men’s on?/ This the bark with the bite, n-gga, what’s up?/ I know my picture on the wall when y’all cook up/ Extortion baby, whole career you been shook up/ ‘Cause Top told you drop and give me fifty like some push-ups, heugh!”
The song came in response to Kendrick’s blistering verse on Future and Metro’s “Like That” where he spit: “Motherfuck the big three, n-gga, it’s just big me/ N-gga, bum/ What? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack/ N-gga, Prince outlived Mike Jack’/ N-gga, bum/ ‘Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/ That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”
