2018: All hell breaks loose


Pusha released Daytona to critical acclaim and, although just seven tracks long, the rapper manages another dig at his long-standing rival.
On the track “Infrared”, Pusha compares the way Drake became popular to the way Donald Trump became president, pointing out how both allegedly used external measures: Drake uses a ghostwriter named Quentin Miller while Trump has alleged ties to Russia under investigation.
Pusha raps: “The lyric pennin’ equal the Trumps winnin’ / The bigger question is how the Russians did it / It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin”.
Many were expecting the Canadian to respond on his upcoming album, Scorpion , due later this year. However, Drake had other plans. Less than 24 hours after Daytona reached streaming services and Drake releases the song “Duppy Freestyle” , which opens with him sighing in exasperation.
“I had a microphone of yours but then the signature faded / I think that pretty much resembles what has been happening lately,” was one of the many notable lines from Drake, the rapper having genuinely once owned a microphone with Pusha’s signature.
Drake also took aim at Kanye West, the producer of “Infrared,” making references to two songs from Kanye’s album The Life of Pablo , “Father Stretch My Hands” and “30 Hours" and the work Drake has apparently done on Ye's new album.
“What do you really think of the n***a that’s making your beats? / I’ve done things for him I thought he never would need / Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me / I pop style for 30 hours, then let him repeat,” he raps. Drake concludes the song by asking Pusha for an invoice for the extra publicity, posting said invoice online soon after.
Following the invoice, a few moments silence. How was Pusha going to respond? Turns out, Push was not merely sitting around doing nothing, but concocting the most vicious track against Drake yet: “The Story of Adinon” .
First off, there’s the artwork: an image of Drake apparently wearing blackface from an old photoshoot. While the artist who took the photo, David Leyes, has said he’s “proud to be part of a strong statement made by a black man about the bleeped up culture he is living in,” many have seen the image as offensive.
Then there’s the lyrics. Pusha seemingly confirms the long-standing rumours that Drake has a secret child with former adult film star Sophie Brussaux. Not only that, but Pusha talks about Drake’s own troubled upbringing without a father and calls Drake a “deadbeat mothafucka”.
“Adonis is your son / And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real / Love that baby, respect that girl / Forget she’s a IndecentStar, let her be your world,” he raps.
With the fans still shaking following the song’s release, many are wondering how Drake will respond to this very personal salvo. Whatever happens next, the world waits on bated breath for a response from one of the most successful, loved and loathed artists of our time.
