Pusha T Addresses Drake's UMG Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us'
Pusha T is, once again, making his stance clear when it comes to his longtime rival, Drake—this time in light of the rapper's recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
The legal action, sparked by Kendrick Lamar's scathing 'Not Like Us' diss track, has prompted reactions across the Hip-Hop community, but Pusha isn't holding back.
In a new profile with GQ, the Virginia Beach native shared his blunt reaction to Drake's decision to take legal action, questioning what it means for his place in rap culture.
'I don't rate him no more,' Pusha said of Drake. 'The suing thing is bigger than some rap sh*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?'
Though critical of the lawsuit, Pusha did acknowledge that Drake may have a legitimate case, subtly referencing how his own 2018 diss, 'The Story of Adidon,' was allegedly suppressed by UMG.
Still, as for reigniting their lyrical feud, Pusha appears unmoved.
'I think after everything that had been done, I don't think there was ever anything subliminal to be said ever again in life. Not only just musically, like bro, I actually was in Canada. I actually had a show and made it home,' he said, before adding: '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.'
Elsewhere in the article, Pusha touched on his fallout with Ye West, as well as he and his brother No Malice's forthcoming Clipse album, set to drop this summer.
Speaking of Drake, the rapper recently made music history, becoming the artist with the most Diamond-certified singles ever, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
With the recent elevation of 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and 'Best I Ever Had' to Diamond status—each representing 10 million units sold or streamed—Drake now holds an unprecedented 10 Diamond singles.
The hitmaker surpassed both Post Malone and Garth Brooks, who previously shared the top spot with nine a piece.

Here's What Fans Think of SiR Claiming Drake Had His 2024 Toronto Show Canceled
Top Dawg Entertainment singer SiR had his 2024 tour stop in Toronto canceled, and he made his return north of the border for a show on Wednesday (June 4). During his performance, SiR placed the blame for his original cancellation on Drake. In a clip from the performance, SiR says that he was 'caught in the middle of a beef I ain't have s–t to do with,' referencing the ongoing feud between the Toronto rapper and Kendrick Lamar. However, SiR quickly walked back the claims and said it was the venue — which is co-owned by Drizzy — that cancelled his show.

I ain't taking no motherf—ing chance you gon' get your ass beat,'' he says in the clip. Billboard has reached out to Drake's team for comment. The clip from Wednesday's concert went viral on social media as fans had plenty to say about SiR's claims, who himself wondered, 'Why is this news?' Plenty of OVO fans were riled up at SiR's comments and hopped into his replies on X. 'It's news because you said Drake name,' one person said. Another added: 'Why you mentioning Drake when he has no clue who you are?' At the time of the 2024 show, SiR blamed the venue in a statement to fans on X. 'So sorry to my Toronto fans. The show has been canceled. We're working on rescheduling for a later date,' he wrote, per VIBE. 'For those wondering, we sold that show out. It was canceled by the venue. Not sure why. My apologies again to those that came just to see me.' SiR wasn't the only TDE-affiliate to have issues touring in Canada, as ScHoolboy Q also had a show scrapped in Toronto last summer. 'THey just canceled my sHow in TORONTO,' he said at the time. 'CANADIAN POLICE DONT WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING.'
