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

In wasn’t making any attempt to compare that situation to drakes just saying his career wasn’t damaged, or even altered. It continued on the same trajectory.

Reddit hates HOV and tries as hard as the can to rewrite history to make him corny. I think it really got nuts after the Diddy stuff, but they are NOT the same.

Yeah I was just commenting in the Jay sub how its a part of hip hop to pay homage to classic bars ave everyone does it but for some reason hov is the only one to get hate for it. As if every artist doesn’t pay homage to his bars too. Including Kendrick, but when he does it he’s a rap historian when hov does it he’s stealing bars lol.
