Pusha T slams Drake over UMG lawsuit: “I don’t rate him no more”
Pusha T has shared his thoughts on Drake suing Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ diss track. In January, Drizzy filed a lawsuit against his label in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for defamation and harassment.
He claimed UMG “approved, published and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track” that was “intended to convey the specific, unmistakable and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal paedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response.”
Pusha, who has previously feuded with Drake and dropped the bombshell ‘The Story of Adidon’ track, addressed the lawsuit in a new interview with GQ.
“If [Drake’s] adamant to have a lawsuit, it’s only because he knows all the things that they did to suppress everything that was happening around ‘Adidon’ and the verses and the records and things that were happening back then,” he said.
“I don’t rate him no more. The suing thing is bigger than some rap shit. 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?”
The Virginia rapper also admitted he’s over his beef with Drake. “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 stated. “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 tiptoe around anything.”
Pusha T previously addressed the Drake and Kendrick battle in December. Speaking to Ari Melber, he claimed K. Dot “1000 per cent” won the battle.
“I think that Kendrick is a lyricist and a lyricist that talks to your soul,” he said. “Like, you can be clever, you can say cute things, you can do things in cadences, and so on and so forth, right? But the truth really hurts, and the truth, I mean, the truth like cuts deep.”
He added, “I think what Kendrick was doing was really talking to his soul. I believe that, and I believe that would cause you to tap out, that’ll cause you to sue, that’ll cause you to do a lot of things. It’s crazy.”
