There’s no love lost between Pusha T and Drake.
Adding to his list of grievances against the “6 God,” Pusha T took some time to share his thoughts on Drake’s lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar and his label, UMG.
In a new interview with GQ, Pusha said he doesn’t rank Drake amongst the premier MCs after filing the lawsuit.
‘“I don’t rate him no more,” Pusha explained. “The suing thing is bigger than some rap s**t. It just kind of cheapens the art of it.”
Pusha also spoke about his battle with Drake when he revealed that his nemesis had a son that he kept from the public in the classsic diss track “The Story of Adidon” in 2018.
“I did the dance for real,” he said. “Not to come back and tiptoe around anything.” If Drake would throw shots in his direction, Pusha said, “I would only engage again if I felt like it.”
Back in January, Drake filed an 81-page federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging UMG “approved, published and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him.”
In response, UMG vehemently denied all of Drake’s allegations, describing the suit as “frivolous,” “reckless,” and “misguided.” The label argued that the lyrics of songs are “non-actionable opinion and rhetorical hyperbole” that are consistent in the long tradition of rap battles, and that taking them “as literal defamation threatens free speech and artistic expression.”
After the last album, Til The Casket Drops, was released in 2009, the Clipse are set to drop their highly anticipated album, Let God Sort Em Out, on July 11.
