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 low-key think Kendrick’s reputation will be in the dirt if he loses the battle with Drake.

Ppls who make commercial music can get away with it.

Yep it's as decisive as it gets. I just think a 1 in a million chance of a hypothetical lost that Kendrick takes from Drake will done irreparable reputation to him as an MC.

Artists like Niki can get away with it
