Pusha T has resumed taking jabs at Drake after the Canadian superstar initiated legal action against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.”
Sitting down for an interview with Ari Melber at Miami Art Week, the journalist and broadcaster asked the Clipse rapper about being namedropped on Kendrick’s earlier diss song “Euphoria.”

“I guess he was just telling him he needed to address me before he comes back and tries to go at him,” Pusha said.

He then praised Kendrick’s performance in the battle, saying: “I think that Kendrick is a lyricist and a lyricist that talks to your soul. You can be clever, you can say cute things, you can do things in cadences and so on and so forth, but the truth really hurts and the truth cuts deep.”
Pusha continued by alluding to Drake’s legal filings against UMG: “I think what Kendrick was doing was really talking to his soul. I believe that would cause you to tap out, that would cause you to sue, that would cause you to do a lot of things. It’s crazy.”

On “Euphoria,” Kendrick made reference to Drake’s heated feud with Pusha T, which the former G.O.O.D. Music MC was widely judged to have won after dropping “The Story of Adidon” which revealed the 6 God had secretly fathered a child.

K. Dot rapped: “I don’t like you poppin’ shit at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef / Yeah, fuck all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T / You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me? / He’s Terrence Thornton, I’m Terence Crawford, yeah, I’m whoopin’ feet.”
Pusha previously revealed his initial thoughts on Kendrick referencing him on the track, saying in an interview with Vultureearlier this year: “Incredible. Incredible display. Incredible display of battle raps. Listen man, Kendrick…”
