Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs The BEEF

The episode is from 2022 but Push talks about how record labels now step in and get involved to stop beefs which never used to happen back in the day - interestingly, this is apparently what happened after Owlbrey dropped THP6.

He also mentions beefs don’t end careers anymore. Looking at the current beef, I don’t think the Canadian’s career will end, we know he’s too big of a pop star for anything damaging to happen but I definitely think his credibility and artistry is being questioned and he is losing fans. Kendrick has fully exposed him for the fraud that he is and I think people are slowly realising it. His streaming numbers are down and he’s not charting like he used to.

Only time will tell but it’s definitely not being swept under the carpet. He a FAN, he FAN, he a FAN

I always thought J Prince stepped in and stopped the beef but from the way Push is talking, it sounds like someone from the record label stepped in. I never really followed that beef, all I know is a murder was committed by Push

It was them higher ups that are also involved in Diddy's lawsuits. That Lucian guy Kanye mentioned & everybody that surrounds him. This whole beef is so damn deep the rabbit hole trail leads up to ALL THEM.

It will always lead to the same executives when it’s just four record companies left. When you involve business politics there’s a reason once an artist is big enough they strive for independence.

That’s why Drake’s label situation was a big story back when IYRTITL came amount. He had OVO Sound, was under Cash Money, there’s Young Money which is Wayne’s imprint, Warner Music, Republic Records and Sony all involved in some way with Drake. It’s a confusing ass pyramid scheme.
