Newsflash: Pusha T still doesn’t like Drake.
Pusha T is widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s greats, celebrated for his classic albums and legendary verses. Yet, for many, his name is closely tied to his beef with Drake, particularly for his brutal diss track, “The Story of Adidon.” That record didn’t just take shots—it became a blueprint for targeting a high-profile artist like Drake. Now, as Kendrick Lamar and Drake exchange subtle jabs, Pusha finds himself watching from the sidelines, seemingly impressed by Kendrick’s approach and effectiveness in their ongoing rivalry.
In an interview with Nigel D, Pusha T shared his perspective on the ongoing Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, offering notable praise for Kendrick’s approach. Pusha seemed to admire Kendrick’s strategic and calculated style, highlighting how the Compton rapper has handled their rivalry with a level of precision that resonates with Pusha’s own experiences in rap battles. Below is the video capturing Pusha’s full commentary on the topic.

The tension between Drake and Pusha T has undoubtedly reached a more personal level than the friction between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Both artists took their shots at Drake’s family in their respective diss tracks, but Pusha T’s approach in “The Story of Adidon” was particularly scathing. He called out Drake’s mother, father, and even revealed the existence of his son, a move that shifted the nature of their rivalry from lyrical sparring to deeply personal conflict.
Given this history, it’s not shocking that Pusha would align himself with Kendrick in the ongoing Drake vs. Kendrick narrative. Among Drake’s adversaries, Pusha T remains arguably the most formidable. His unwavering confidence, surgical lyricism, and readiness to push boundaries make it clear that he’s prepared to escalate whenever necessary. It’s this relentless energy that cements him as a dangerous opponent in any hip-hop feud.
Can you imagine if Kendrick and Pusha united to defeat Drake? Wow.
