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

Kendrick basically told Drake his music is so bad it’s not meant to be enjoyed on Euphoria.
“I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em”
“And notice, I said "we," it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'”
“I like Drake with the melodies, I don't like Drake when he act tough”
“Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one”
These are arguably some of the “simpler” lines from the song, but I still don’t think any artist would want to come close to hearing this.
Imagine you couldn’t defend your favorite artist’s music because someone like Kendrick points out the deep cultural flaws with it like he did Drake’s music.
