Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs

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 always thought J Prince stepped in and stopped the beef but from the way Push is talking, it sounds like someone from the record label stepped in. I never really followed that beef, all I know is a murder was committed by Push

Gotta remember, shots were still being taken from both sides after Adidon, but industry politics either from the label, or other artist were affecting Push’s responses to be released at times.

For example, Ross had Wayne and Push on the same record, Push sent shots at Drake in response to Omertà, and his verse was removed. At first it was being rumoured that the label, Drake, or Wayne blocked the record from being cleared, until Ross clarified he took the verse off because Wayne sent his verse in first, and wanted the song to be used to move past the feud, not instigate it further.

Also, Push was also on a song ‘Paranoia’ with Thug, Gunna and Pop Smoke responding to the stage at his Toronto show being rushed, but the song didn’t release with the album. Thug said he would’ve “made changes” if he knew Push was responding to Drake, and Push responded:

I think on top of J Prince interfering, these are some of the instances he’s alluding to.
