Pusha T calls out Drake for suing UMG
The rapper accuses Drizzy of damaging the 'art' of diss tracks
An old rivalry has just been rekindled after Pusha T gave his opinion on Drake’s lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG).
King Push recently featured on the cover story of GQ Magazine to promote his latest album Let God Sort Em Out.
The project is a collaborative effort between the rapper and his old Clipse member No Malice and is produced by UMG’s subsidiary Def Jam Recordings.
The album also includes a cameo by Drizzy’s bitter rival Kendrick Lamar and Pusha wasted no time bringing up the lawsuit.
The 48-year-old brought up his 2018 Drake diss track The Story of Adidon and how that controversy relates to Lamar’s Not Like Us, which is the focal point of the defamation case.
Pusha expressed his disappointment in the Canadian rapper, saying, “I don’t rate him no more. The suing thing is bigger than some rap s**t.”
The artist believes that Drake's act of suing a record company over a song’s lyrics “kind of cheapens the art of it once we gotta have real questions about suing and litigation.”
Pusha concluded the discussion by hinting that he has no intention of reigniting his beef with the God's Plan singer, which lasted for much of the 2010s.
What is the Drake vs UMG controversy?
The controversy began after last year’s intensification of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rivalry, when the two rappers hurled personal insults at each other in a series of diss tracks.
The conflict led to Drake filing a lawsuit against UMG and Spotify in November for allegedly conspiring to inflate streaming figures of Lamar’s Not Like Us.
However, in January, he withdrew his petition and filed a new one for defamation against UMG for allegedly promoting the diss track.
