Drake may have settled his beef with Meek Mill, but he has a new target: Pusha-T. Following the G.O.O.D. Music rapper’s diss on “Infrared,” the 6 God unleashes a scathing freestyle aimed at his rival and Kanye West.
“I’m in shock, the nerve, the audacity,” he raps. “So if you rebuke me for working with someone else on a couple of Vs, what do you really think of the ni**a that’s making your beats? / I’ve done things for him I thought that he never would need / Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me.”
He continues, “Don’t push me when I’m in album mode / You’re not even top 5 as far as your label talent goes.”
He also makes reference to Kanye’s creative collaborator Virgil Abloh. “I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back ’cause he makes me nervous,” he raps. “I wanna see my brothers flourish to their higher purpose / You ni**as leeches and serpents / I think it’s good that now the teachers are learning.”
Pusha’s drug-fueled raps and his Clipse brother Malice are also targeted. “Your brother said it was your cousin then him then you / So you don’t rap what you did, you just rap what you knew,” he raps. “Don’t be ashamed, there’s plenty ni**as who do what you do / There’s no Malice in your heart, you an approachable dude / Man, you might’ve sold some college kids some Nikes and Mercedes, but you act like you sold drugs for Escobar in the ’80s / I had a microphone of yours, but then the signature faded / I think that pretty much resembles what’s been happening lately.”
He also references his alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller. “Please believe your demise will be televised / And as for Q, man, I changed his life a couple times / Ni**a was at Kroger working double time / Y’all actin’ like he made the boy when I was tryna help the guy.”

“It’s gon’ be a cruel summer for you / I told Weezy and Baby I’ma done him for you / Tell ‘Ye we got an invoice coming to you / Considering that we just sold another 20 for you.”
The diss stems from Pusha’s latest track “Infrared” off his new album Daytona, on which he makes reference to Quentin Miller: “It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
After the song dropped, Pusha retweeted the link and referenced Drake’s lyrics. “Send the invoice for the extra 20…” he said.
