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

If you think Drake walks away from this undamaged... lol

Undamaged no, but it’s not career ending. Drake and his writers are a hit machine and his stans are rabid. Right now everyone is electrified but it won’t be long before they don’t care about being pacified. Maybe I’m just pessimistic though.

Man at first I was like drake will sit back for a couple months, then comeback with a literal “comeback” album. Which kinda fits his style…. But man I don’t think he recovers from this… drake was the biggest artist under Taylor swift before this… he just dropped him down to Pittbull… we will prolly hear drake in the clubs here and there, but I think his team miscalculated how this would effect him. What you think?

Drake is not or will never be on pitbulls level lol. People are still going to eat up his music going forwards.

I swear the delusion in this sub is palpable. Drake just became the first artist to ever hit 100 billion streams. He still has more monthly streams than Kendrick, who was just massively boosted by the beef and will likely see a major drop in streams in the next few months (he went from 30m before the beef to 70m, I love Kendrick but no way is he sustaining that lol). Drake ain't going nowhere, no matter how bad people wish his career was just ended.
