GOOD Music President Pusha T, released his third solo project ‘DAYTONA‘ on Friday, then all hell broke loose. Push ended the project on a track called “Infared,” where the rapper takes aim at Cash Money Records, dissing Birdman and Lil Wayne while also dropping a jab about “Quentin Miller” ghostwriting for Drake that references the roots of his not so current  beef with Meek Mill.

Push, on a press run fueled those rumors about the song stating he was taking what people were saying in the streets and online as a reason to speak on it. “Infrared is just me talking to everybody, I’ve addressed a lot of these things and I’ve taken heat for a lot of these things.[…] Now its ok to kill ‘Baby’ but niggas looked at me like I really killed a baby.”

When asked on how the beef began, Push said that the internet basically claimed Lil Wayne took his style and he never fed into it, but didn’t see the need to stop it. Lil Wayne has even taken to twitter in 2014 to address the rumors stating

@LilTuneChi: Fuk pusha t and anybody that love em” which has since been deleted. But what wasn’t deleted was Pusha’s response to Lil Wayne during a public twitter rant where Wayne claimed he wanted “off” Cash Money.

Pusha T has been taking what could be seen as subliminal jabs at Wayne & Cash Money since 2012’s “Exodus 23:1”

Drake responded to 2012’s “Exodus 23:1” with the intro to his ‘Nothing Was The Same’ project calling Pusha ‘a bench player acting like a starter’. A video of Push in the club Friday during a listening session of the album would go viral with him mouthing the lyrics and further flooding speculation of beef. Then the clock began.

No less than 24 hours into the release of ‘Daytona’, Drake responds with ‘Duppy Freestyle

Already raking in over 4 million streams, Drake takes shots at, well pretty much everyone, including some particulars he had never really shared before.

“Tell ’Ye we gotta invoice coming to you/Considering that we just sold another 20 for you.”

Pusha T would respond via Twitter 


His response to Pusha’s “Quentin Miller” line wouldn’t go unanswered either:

“And as for Q, man I changed his life a couple times/ N*gga was at Kroger working double time/ Ya’ll acting like he made the boy when I was trying to help the guy.”

 

“Q”uentin Miller would also go on to respond via Twitter

 

Not too long after Pusha’s tweet, Drake fired back by sharing an actual invoice, and upped the amount from $20,000 to a cool $100,000 for “Promotional assistance and career reviving.”

You’re welcome. 🦉

“Don’t PUSH me when I’m in album mode.” Drake even hit a not so subliminal jab to Pusha T’s longtime girlfriend whom he recently engaged in 2017 with a pretty massive ring.

“Look, holla at me when you multi-million/I told you keep playing with my name and Imma let it ring on you like Virginia Williams/I’m too resilient, get out your feelings.”

Multiple Grammy and Oscar winning songwriter Rhymefest who is also Co-founder of Kanye West’s Donda’s House charity and co-writer of Ye’s hit ‘Jesus Walks’ chimed in on Saturday.

Donda’s House, Inc just released a statement yesterday (May 26th) about Kanye West & his recent involvement in the media.

 

In statement issued on behalf of RHYMEFEST and Donnie Smith, an educator who helped setup Donda’s House, the organization says that they have been unable to secure support from Kanye despite several efforts lately.

 

Kanye West and RHYMEFEST

“Over the last few months due to Kanye’s statements and tweets, we have fielded requests for interviews and statements. We have been tagged in comments on social media about Kanye West, and we have been questioned by our foundational supporters and corporate supporters about Kanye’s public involvement in our organization,” it says. “While we cannot and do not speak for Kanye West and his views, we can and will speak up for the youth that we serve. We ask that those who feel hurt, angered by or frustrated with Kanye West not penalize or throw away their support, respect and advocacy for us,” it continues, hinting that Kanye’s recent support for Donald Trump has hurt their image. Kanye serves as one of the founding board members of the organization.
“We ask that as you boycott and protest Kanye West, that you not forget that we are a non-profit organization that like other non-profits needs donations, corporate support and volunteers. We do not want your rejection of Kanye West, to be a rejection of Dr. Donda West and the thousands of lives she impacted including her own son,” the statement continues.
“As we prepare to launch our summer programming, we have been bombarded with inquiries about Kanye West. As we seek support to convert Kanye’s childhood home into a recording studio, museum and learning space – we have been unable to secure the financial support of Kanye despite multiple attempts, and despite those early conversations about his plan of support and advocacy for the youth in our programs.

Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian West chimed in to the scuffle questioning Rhymefest’s motives and made some bold statements.
