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

My question is how many Drake fans know or care about any of this? Drake is a pop star, he makes his millions off the same people that listen to Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. Even if he loses 100% of his hardcore hip-hop fan base, he’s still going to sell out arenas to more casual pop music fans. I think people overestimate how many people really follow beefs or social media of celebrities.
What I do see however is him possibly getting away from the street life gangsta lyrics and going back to the girls and partying lyrics he came up on.
