Pusha T has blamed his on-screen Drake diss on “corny” tech staff.
The rapper — who has had a public rivalry with the star with each of
them releasing diss tracks and taking personal shots — appeared to
take things to another level when ‘F— Drake’ appeared behind him at
Tyler, the Creator’s 2018 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival over the weekend.
However, he has now responded on social media and said: “Corny ass
tech dude f—ing with my screens at @CampFlogGnaw. I speak for myself
and all of you know how I make my statements!! Dissing anybody on
screen isn’t part of my show.”
In “Infrared,” taken from Pusha–T‘s DAYTONA album, the pair
referenced Drake’s work with Quentin Miller on his 2015 mixtape If
You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and called his writing skills into
question. Pusha insisted this was in response to Drake “questioning
his authority on the streets” in “Two Birds, One Stone.”
Drake fired back on his own track “Duppy Freestyle,” rapping: “If you
rebuke me for working with someone else on a couple of V’s, what do
you really think of the n***a that’s making your beats?
“I’ve done things for him, I thought that he never would need. Father
had to stretch his hands out and get it for me.”
But things got extremely personal when Pusha T went one step further
with “The Story Of Adidon, in which he revealed that Drake has a son
called Adonis with a former porn star, Sophie Brussaux.
In the song, “The Story Of Adidon,” he says: “Since you name-dropped
my fiancée / Let ’em know who you chose as your Beyoncé / Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother / Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her.
“A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap / We talkin’ character, let
me keep with the facts / You are hiding a child, let that boy come
home / Deadbeat m—–f—-r playin’ border patrol. Adonis is your
son / And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real /
Love that baby, respect that girl / Forget she’s a porn star, let her
be your world.”
Drake later admitted in the lyrics to his album Scorpion, which was
released in late June, that he has been “hiding the world” from his
“kid.”
