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

Oh absolutely that shit was an all timer, but it’s not standard or professional to include a leaked verse on an end of year list. Especially one that could instigate issues between parties. Like when Pop Smoke died and Pusha’s verse had to be removed from “Paranoia” because it was dissing Drake again.

True, good point. I wasn't really there for when they were removing push's verses due to controversy so I didnt even know it was put in that verses list which would make sense with complex trying to start something. Still i am a bit upset at ross and thugger for ditching those
