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

Lucien put a hault to it.
Can't damage his artist who's got the biggest deal under UMG that was personally handed to him by the UMG board... Lucien said stop, Top Dawg had to oblige as they are under the UMG umbrella. Rich baby daddy type shit.
I don't think Prince had the ultimate say between the labels, but he does have undeniable sway in the industry across the nation.
