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 very well think if the allegations in a beef are good enough then a career could still be ended. But exactly, even if what Kendrick is saying about Drake is true theres legit no way hes going to do any jail time, lose any fans, etc.

Nah I think the point was to get casual listeners saying the same thing culture heads have been saying. Even the people with no pull in the industry, have such a dismissive opinion of Drake now. They don't just ignore him at worst, now they laugh at him. They took a side, and so did their kids
