Pusha T Slams Drake’s Lawsuit Over Kendrick’s Diss

The ‘Ace Trumpets’ rapper questioned Drake’s legal response to ‘Not Like Us’ in his latest interview.

Pusha T is making it crystal clear where he stands in Hip-Hop’s latest ongoing drama—and, once again, he’s not siding with Drake.

In a new GQ profile, the Virginia-bred rapper shared his unfiltered thoughts on his long-time rival’s recent legal action against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us.”

“I don’t rate him no more,” Pusha said bluntly. “The suing thing is bigger than some rap s—t. I just don’t rate you. Damn, it’s like it just kind of cheapens the art of it once we gotta have real questions about suing and litigation. Like, what? For this?”

While Pusha acknowledged that Drake might have a legitimate legal claim—citing how his own 2018 diss “The Story of Adidon” was allegedly stifled by Universal—he made it clear that he’s done playing the subliminal back-and-forth game.

“I think after everything that had been done, I don’t think there was ever anything subliminal to be said ever again in life,” he said. 

“Not only just musically, like bro, I actually was in Canada. I actually had a show and made it home. So, I can’t pay attention to none of that. I did the dance for real, not to come back and tip-toe around anything.”

Meanwhile, Drake continues to break records. Earlier this week, the “Certified Lover Boy” artist became the RIAA’s most Diamond-certified performer of all time. 

With “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had” both crossing the 10 million unit threshold, the emcee now boasts 10 Diamond singles, surpassing previous record-holders Post Malone and Garth Brooks.
