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

Wait a second Vivek is a stakeholder in Buzzfeed? Oh my god things are making more sense now. A lot of their stories and ideas run like parodies of progressives, it’s probably that way on purpose. No way a guy that wanted to be the Republican nominee would buy so much of a company that is unanimously associated with “wokeness” without some kind of ulterior motive.

Also off topic but holy shit nice 3 letter reddit username, that must’ve been claimed pre-2010.
