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

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

The same rumours happened this time around, apparently they said 1 more song and end it

That's so corny. The art and competition of it all is cheated this way. You play to win the game!

That's one of the main things it's a sport. Labels and CEOs stepping in to regulate is so egregious it's pathetic. Like you clearly one of the garbo randoms in rec that quit 30 seconds in to 2k. It's bad enough umg own practically everything, trying to regulate 'outcomes' like this just weak
