After Drake issued a statement explaining the blackface photo Pusha T used for “The Story Of Adidon” single art, the G.O.O.D. Music president addressed the issue during Thursday’s (May 31) episode of Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Real 92.3.
According to Pitchfork, Pusha said, “You are silent on all black issues, Drake. You don’t stand for nothing, you don’t say nothing about nothing. You have all the platform in the world. You were so passionate back then? No you weren’t. That’s number one. That’s what I know.”
In Drake’s statement, which he posted to his Instagram Story on Wednesday night (May 30), he said the photoshoot was taken during a time in his life when he was pursuing acting.
“This picture is from 2007, a time in my life when I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast,” he wrote. “The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.”
Pusha says he’s ready for whatever else Drake has to throw at him but he isn’t expecting a response from him.
Elsewhere in the interview, Pusha talks Drake’s father Dennis Graham, the alleged “secret son” and why he trusted Kanye West’s vision for the controversial DAYTONA cover art.
Check out some of the highlights below.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Lol of course he dismisses it, this is the most exciting thing to ever happen to pushas career BY FAR – you wouldn’t even know he just dropped an album LOL
Plenty people would know he drop a album. Unlike drake. Push have classics
Nah… not plenty… in all honesty a pretty lil percentage
Wrong. Push and Clipse have bangers. Everyone in the industry knew Drake didn’t want none. His machine fucked him over, Miller wanted to get paid for the diss, shitbib J. Fox for the beat… hahahahaha. Drake makes Katey Perry pop garbage. I’m Blackface.
What did you do with your platform Pusha? What did you talk about all these years?
He talked about dope, sex and clothes. At least shit he lived. He also didn’t take pictures in blackface, then lie about it. He didn’t raw dog and knock up a porn star and hide that too… maybe you should ask about what he DIDINT do. Let me guess, you’re in blackface wearing a turtleneck sipping on maple syrup, crying over the Raptors? Hahahahaha
Ya’ll don’t remember drake sounded like a little brother ripoff 10 years ago before he dropped so far gone? That conscious shit got him nowhere so he started talking about his woman problems which is a lot more relatable…..meanwhile pusha’s rapping about shit that had his team and old management turn and rat on each other….solid
Right, he was out here sounding like phonte
Pusha is just too real. Drake sold his soul with that photo. Probably offered him like 500 bucks to take that pic…smh. Drake raps about women, cars, the crew that cooks on the stove and all that other fake shit he never lived. Drake now acting like he kendrick or cole out here:0)…PUUUUSH!
Ok time to call bullshit….WTF does Pusha do? Talk about dope pussy and more dope? Don’t act like you some civil right activist. We know what your boss does for the community though lol. These rappers kill me with that shit. You havent done shit either…just started a 3 year old dead beef for some buzz. Nobody even talking about that album…hell Pusha not even talking about the album. He got Drake on the brain… I know alot of people dont like Drake for plenty of good reasons but Pusha kinda starting to look a lil lame while trying to point out how lame Drake is.
I still haven’t seen a picture of Pusha in Blackface though… Just saying. He also doesn’t have an alleged kid he is paying child support for, didn’t do a dNA test for, and is hiding from the world. He also writes his own shit.
I know alot of people dont like Drake for plenty of good reasons
Do you all read the whole comments or just skim? Ill take his explanation for the shit plus it was fucking a decade ago….who really cares. Same for the kid shit. Who cares? Do I care about the dead beats across the street where I live? No so why would I give a fuck about Drake being one…or having a baby by a slut? That applies to all those ball players and rappers lol. Just saying
Yeah. Who cares if Milli Vanilli wrote those songs. Who cares if Elvis became famous paying black folk $1 for a track he made millions off of? Sarcasm. Did Wlvis wear blackface?
Kanye just saved a failing community center in SXS Chicago… that’s some shit for his community. Dumbass.
Before or after being called out by Rhymefest. Plus just did a quick check….uhhhh you got a link for that or you just trying to comment with some fake ass facts to be right? Plus with Kanye latest antics, Pusha really want to talk about whos doing what for the black community. Plus like I stated Pusha hasn’t done shit to be talking shit on that subject. Oh unless you got a link for Pusha starting rallys as well. Lol still need that Kanye link dumbass. You provide that and you get a cookie
Fuk what you talkin bout I’m loving this. You must be a Drake Stan begging for mercy. Push is doing what should have been done years ago, drake is a known fraud who has gotten away w fakery for far long and his fans are soft mushy bitches. Its game over for all yaw. Push might not sell any albums, hell I haven’t even listened to it and probably won’t. But the work he putting in on Aubrey will make him the most impactful artist of the year without a doubt and his drake slaughter will put his legacy in eternity
Rick Ross is a known fraud who got away with fakery too long as well and Pusha TEA has no problems with him.. even featured him on that 21 minute sorry excuse for sorry excuse for an album
So you think by him killing Drake is what’s gonna place him in the Hall of fame? You stupid motherfucker…fakery?! Drake came out a soft ass rapper and has been, and will always be known as a soft ass rapper. I like some of the boy songs. If u label me a lame for admitting that, fuck you is my reply… Pusha status already cemented…Lord Willin??! We Got it for Cheap?! My Name?! The classic guest verses. HE ALREADY CEMENTED…..but if you hold Drake in that high regard like he was EVER the measuring stick for lyricism, that it takes a beef with Drake to cement Pusha’s legacy, then you are one lame ass dude.
Pusha T- sunshine
So did the rest of us push
Pusha sucks. The whitney Houston picture was SKUM & Drake bodied them with the best bumpable song. Its stupid to say drake is racist when Drake is clearly African. Pusha got him with the baby shit though. God Damn.
Wow. You work for HHDX stirring up clickable bait. Hahahaha.
Drake only has this undying fanbase because he tailors his lyrics to appeal to middleclass whites. Whites are scared shitless of a struggle rapper like Pusha. They want hip hop that makes them feel warm and cozy and inclusive. That’s what Drake does. Someone like Pusha just makes them want to call the police. Drakestans are in such deep denial about this feud they probably think Drake won back in 2012 too. Only clout Drake got is with whites, real hip hop know who’s winning this feud.
Im white, love pusha T and dislike Drake. Am I a unicorn?
Nope these 2 above you are just retarded and racist, the good ole’ R&R. Hardcore hiphop flourished becuz white kids gravitated to it and it sold millions of records. Haywood and Jo88 are just new to this shit…they’re the new generation of racist blacks that have been raised to believe anybody really gives a fuck about their skin color. Their perception of slavery is the NFL, where slaves live a life 90% of people can only dream of and get paid millions of dollars to play a game and entertain. Their generation will cripple any racial progress we’ve made in this country between white and black
White consumption of hip hop is the reason artists like Tekashi69 and Lil Pump represent the current generation of MCs. Golden and silver age of hip hop preceded any significant white involvement in the genre? And I’m white btw. So just cause I come from a slum I must be black? You the racist man.
Another unicorn here, loving hip hop since my early teens in the late 90s. Happy to have discovered The Clipse early.
Drake’s already lost this, there is no way to go back. He won’t lose much money because his fans won’t care, he’s a radio puppy. The loss of respect from the hardcore scene will barely affect him.
Your comment is just too true. Seriously your comment sums up this whole situation with the fans. Drake is safe. He is half white and marketable to these big corporations. Apple and addidas and the entire industry have invested millions in drake. Drake will lose this war with pusha t but the industry will try to sweep this under the rug and pusha t will be known as the street rapper with classics that showed drake is touchable. Drake will continue to make songs about dealing with fame and being a simp to women but true hip hop fans know he was bodied. Drake is a ghost now in hiphop.
Everytime drake picks his son up on the weekends he will be reminded of pusha t….damn:0)
Everything Push says is true. And even though most of pushas content is about drug dealing he at least have some songs talking about the industry and different struggles people go through. And Push is right to dismiss Drakes statement because Drakes statement on black face was pure bullshit. No exuses, no apologies. Which shows Drake dont understand the history or disrespect black face symbolize.
How was it bullshit?
He is canadian, went to a jewish school, didnt live the north american experience. THERE IS NO JIM CROW IN CANADA.
Because he didn’t attempt any apologies or show any form of reflection as to how black face could be something negative. And the whole campaign thing about black actors not being hired. Dude been hired as an actor for years. And he didn’t really say anything about the project, what it was, who organized and where we can find some info on it. Thats why i say his statement is bullshit.
We live in a culture where its cool to hate the one thats on top… We try to justify being jealous of the next man with bullshit excuses… Thats all this is
Straight up. Talk about the rappers you like.
So you want praise songs? Who can masturbate the other person’s ego the most. THAT IS SO ENTERTAINING, THAT IS WHAT HIP-HOP HAS BEEN AT THE CORE, RIGHT? prima donna mc
What has Pusha TEA ever done for the black community? This washed up bum has been promoting drug dealing and the destruction of his own people all his career.. and his boss says Slavery was a choice.. Guarantee Aubrey has done more for black Americans than Pusha TEA ever will and he’s from another country
Ummmm Prison Reform with hillary clinton, My Brother’s Keeper with Obama, Complex Prison cover… how does drake’s dick taste. You may be young but you dont have to be ignorant
Lol none of that changed shit.. and he still went back to rapping about selling drugs he never really pushed
but he did sell those drugs…this has been proven!
And… what did Frake do? We know what push did. Lyrics aside.
He made a career of promoting and glamorizing drug dealing… I wonder how many young black males ended up in prison trying to be like Pusha TEA… now he’s trying give breaks and help out the dirty scumbag criminal losers he “fathered”
Bet a Hunnid Scorpion & Drakes Adidas Collab gets pushed back.
Pusha gonna have some apologizing to do after Drake ruins Kanyes album release by dropping his diss after kanyes album drops. I’m expecting a kanye rant sometime next week about it. Drake knows he cant go bar for bar with these guys, he hits them where it hurts. Drake the steph curry of rap beef, he about to finesse his way to the W once again. Ppl always sleeping on him, but hes very calculated with his moves
That would work on behalf of kanye in my opinion…and nothing, I mean NOTHING NADA ANYEN DU TOU drake can say on a record that can have him come back with a win….drake is done, trust me…he might be working for fox news by the end of this year lmao…diss song or not, there is nothing he can say a record without being questioned….push a did to drake what Remy did to nicki…on some other notes, anybody can name one verse from drake that makes you do a ric flair? Dude is the most overrated artist of all time, or have the most overrated ghostwritter of all time
In reality Remy did nothing to Nicki…no one remembers that song… just like this won’t really hurt Drake. Hope Fake pusher enjoys his 15 min of fame cause no one is going to care about him in 2 months just like before
Wtf
If you think he’s done you don’t know any Drake stans. Half of them are women, the other half think the type of rap Pusha does is ignorant, so this beef is pretty meaningless. People listened to both jay and Nas, who listens to both Drake and pusha t regularly?
Yeah Pusha only exposed Drake for hiding a secret child he had with a porn actress, wearing blackface, fucked up his Adidas announcement and new album rollout, but Drake is so calculated haha, fucking idiot…
Self involved narcissists usually are calculating, but that doesn’t mean shit in Hip Hop if you can’t MC, and Drake is not an MC.
Take your old goofy ass somewhere. Noones given a fuck about “being an mc” If drakes not one push sure as shit isnt one. had the same boring flpw and cadence since the clipse
LOL drake really has Pusha T out here thinking he’s some social activist now smh I hope drake doesn’t respond now and watch Pusha play himself
All this free promo and he not even gonna push 100k first week. Pun intended. I don’t understand his weird decade long obsession with Aubrey.. it’s weird and not healthy.
Truth. One can only assume it’s cause pusha spent the last 20 years rapping about things drake actually does – like scraping up millions – to make matters worse pusha is playing with his boss Kanye’s career here – he better hope drake doesn’t take out GOOD music for good (pun intended) we know that puma deal Terrance got ain’t paying dividends
Hahahaha. The Canadians appear. So Frake telling about cooking in the kitchen and all that northsode southside shit is real? This wigga is a disney actor. Hahahaha. You are tweeking. Where Ian his response though? Explain the blackface better than your Katy Perry homie did. Please.
Really? I knew I had fans but damn you couldn’t come up with a original name. Typical Drake fans
Actually pusha had an adidas deal fall ‘17 – around the same time the drake deal rumours started swirling – and Terrance mentioned the adidas press run in his diss – if I connected the dots correctly here adidas cut pushas bs campaign to focus on Drake’s. More meat off of pushas plate and right to Aubrey’s – id be hurt too
Pusha T still has a deal on adidas, made an interview on it recently. You didnt connected the dots right.
What have Terrence’ philanthropic contributions to black issues been? Drake done gave away more bread to black people than Terrence earns in 5 years. Funding schools and all that.. Sucka T and Koonye blew 85k on a corny ass photo shitting on a dead black icon just for some attention… that money could have done some real good if they actually cared about the struggle
Went way over your head! Drake claims he put together this project when he had little to no following, to shine light on how black actors are treated but now he has a platform of millions and doesn’t say a word. No we are not buying it. Pusha was out and marching with BLM, who are these magical black people that you speak of Drake giving “bread” to?
lol just saw Drake’s blackface photo on the front page of CNN. This just keeps getting better.
Drake fans don’t realize he already lost and that Drake accepted the loss and is in damage control mode now!! I can’t stop laughing!!
His boss Koonye has 2 children with a pr0n star too. He also utilizes ghostwriters, ghost producers and ghost fashion designers but takes all the credit and proclaims he is some genius
Ummm… you can say all that and you wouldn’t be wrong, BUT none of that changes the fact that Pusha spanked the hell outta Drake without breaking a sweat. Drake should accept the L but if he decides to return fire I’m willing to bet Pusha will thoroughly wash him. He isn’t built for this type of drama lol
gotta love Drake fans. they are so delusional. so we are going to brush off this man had himself in Blackface, taking pictures with a white photographer and then use the excuse of gaining acting gigs. Come on! if anybody falls for that, they are sheep for real. i’m sorry. stop making excuses for this man. that’s shameful if you do. no black man in their right mind would do a blackface knowing what that meant to black folks
Spike Lee did Blackface for the movie Bamboozled. He said it was for a movie. You idiot pay attention and get upset about the wrong things. The sheep is you.
Right. Spike admitted that shit and it was the whole point all along. That shit didn’t appear out the blue. It was the whole premises of the film, dipshit. BTW, spike didn’t appear in the film. He is a director. The film was brilliant and depressing. Very representative of Drake’s fake ass, Mili Vanilli career. Hopefully he ends his life the same way. Dumbass.
Drake right now trying to payoff his pornstar baby momma to say good things about him even though she released pics of text messages drake sent her to get an abortion:/…. Drake is also begging jay z to have pusha t diss track pulled from stations cause it uses a jay z beat similar to what nicki did to remy cause remy used a nas beat. Drake already snitched to instagram to have that black face pic taken down. Drake is spending millions on damage control….he is also buying bots to defend him on the internet:0)
And you know this how? You are too vested in the story.
Drakes image is dead. Dude is wheelchair jimmy now.
Lol, Drake thought he would have another Meek Mill situation, but Pusha is the real deal. Meek made people question Drake’s ghostwriting accusations but didn’t really cause a dent in his career. Push went straight for the jugular and now Drake is fighting damage control. And Push is just getting started. This is definitely gonna be an interesting summer.
And remember the shitload of memes making fun of Meek? I haven’t seen one making fun of Pusha yet. Keep that in mind.
Pusha doesnt have enough fan power to put a dent in Drakes career. You stans fall for yhe okeye doke. Pusha said he had no beef with Drake. So he did this for free publicity for his album that will still be killed by Drakes. Rap beef is old and is a marketing strategy.
Please. Dude has Drake stuttering and shit. Lying then going back on his lie… The PC police are ALL OVER that black face shit. Hollywood (the folk who RUN entertainment) just turned their back on him. He is the new Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chick could beat him up…
Everyone knows the guy is obviously not a racist… so who fucking cares what he did 12 years ago. i dont see why this is such a big deal. Lupe Fiasco rocked a Klansman fit, Mos Def did blackface. .. its not like Drake was selling drugs to his own people contributing to the destruction of his community and glamorizing it for a decade and a half and then profiting of the misery of his people. i wonder how many fatherless children Pusha T’s supposed drug dealing empire birthed or was responsible for via junkies, overdoses, prison, murder, etc etc… Just imagine if social media and camera phones was around when old man Pusha T came up, I’m sure Pusha did some things he would regret or be extremely embarrassed by (he should be embarrassed to have them braids in 2018)
Yeah, you CLEARLY missed the points Lupe and Mos were making when they did it but okay. Furthermore, Drake claims to be down with the same type of people you presume Pusha to be. I’m not saying selling drugs or glorifying it is right but that argument works both ways.
Man shut yo bitch ass up dic ridin drake u simp
Silent on all black issues…because glamorizing selling dope on 99 per cent of your records is shedding light on black issues and actually helping black youth?
Definitely. The new slave is the inmate Ese. Do you live under a big ass white rock? Still. Where is his blackface pic? Where is his ghostwriter? Does he have a kid he isn’t taking care of that he isn’t admitting to? I’ll wait. Pusha T might have never actually sold coke. He definitely never wore blackface.
Where is his ghostwriter? You heard much of Terrence’s music? It’s all about the same shi-t. And now he releases a 7 song album [ep]. Maybe he should have one? And on that album [ep] he disses Drake to promote it. A black man does black face and you think it’s a problem? He definitely ain’t done it cause he is a racist. His reason stacks up. I can’t fkn stand Drake but the fake ‘SLW’ garbage bandwagoning about that photo is a joke. GTFOH you clown. White rock…Fk yourself.
I got to wonder the age of all these posters who attack Pusha for his past. You kids have no respect whatsoever. Pusha isn’t from the go to college become an accountant generation that all of you are from. Pusha was from the couldn’t even get a job from McDonald’s generation. People survived by any means necessary, we didn’t have healthcare or weekly food handouts or any of that shit. Push hasn’t even rapped about selling dope in over a decade. His songs are about his success and coping with his past and responsibilities. His drug references are either metaphors or historical material. Anyone who actually listens to the music would pick up on this. By assassinating Push’s character over his past like this you’re feeding into the white racist stereotype that blacks are violent and criminals. The lies that whites use to justify their economic abuse and the extreme acts of violence law enforcement are allowed to commit against poc. Also why are you attacking him over this in the first place? Drake jumps on remixes of obscure trap rappers all the time. He promotes the shit out of them, he’s largely responsible for why the Migos blew up. So Pusha likes to occasionally reminisce about a bygone era in his songs whereas Drake actively promotes rappers who actively promote drug dealing as a contemporary lifestyle. Who’s damaging the community more?

THERE IS NO JIM CROW IN CANADA. Aubrey ( used to be known by Drake) grow up in canada, went to a jewish school, wanted to be an actor, then takes a picture in blackface when he didnt live the north american black experience and his excuse is that it is about african americans struggling to get roles? the guy is so mixed and lightskin that racist casting directors would love to put him in a nickelodeon show if he wasnt such a shitty actor. Raising “awareness”, really? he is a canadian, he has no say in the north american culture, i’m sorry, he didnt grow on it. Stans gotta take this L
A big fan of Pusha but he’s going to end up shooting himself in the foot. Drake is not black he’s creole “mixed”, he doesn’t speak but he gives back. What about Pusha’s boss? He and Ye not on the same page when it comes to black issues but he still working under him… his interview with flex really didn’t help him….all this cuz of babe brand? Come on….loosing respect for dude.
Of course he won some points on his diss track but Duppy pulled the attention off his album and straight where Drake wanted it, buzz on his scorpio album and potential reply! we ain’t even mentioning Daytona anymore now we on Kanye and the more he mentions the diss and picks on Drake the more he looks like a scorned woman (dude u 41) why you caring what another dude is doing for the black community fam, first what are you doing? and worse you label mate is Kanye who just made the black community look bad, Yuuuuurk!
You are a fucking retard, dumbass. You obviously don’t check hip hop sites or social media. They are ALL talking about that blackface shit, Drake’s kid, and how the Pusha album, the Whitney shit, the Trump support and slave comments where all part of a genius marketing strategy. Dumbasses like you playing checkers poorly are what got Trump elected. Please kill yourself, like Push murdered Frake…
Damn. Telling someone to kill themselves on the internet. You must be a real tough guy.
bruh did you just call drake frake….you cant comment on someone else’s age when you do that
Bitch iz u retarded!
#SnowflakeBlckface
Rumor has it the next layer on Pusha dissing Drake is some proof Drake is gay. Watch… it’s 2018, nothing wrong with being gay. Own up to it already Drake, get ahead of what’s coming.
Damn. HUGE L for Drake. Regardless. I used to fuck with dude, now I can’t no more. Buster ass bitch.
Drake = silent
Pusha = confirming stereotypical behavior = menstril show
which is worse????
Drake really has Pusha T out here doing press runs discussing someone else’s kid LOL – no mention of his album whatsoever –
No story or mention of Drake offering 100K for any info about Pusha-T to help him with his diss response??
Ay proof to that other than Pusha tweeting about it?
