A Comprehensive Look At The Drake vs. Pusha T Timeline
by Karen
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.
“Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me, I ‘Pop Style’ for ’30 Hours’, then let him repeat.” – @Drake https://t.co/Siwr2Uvzfw pic.twitter.com/5nHChZuqZB

“Tell ’Ye we gotta invoice coming to you/Considering that we just sold another 20 for you.”
Pusha T would respond via Twitter
Send the invoice for the extra 20… https://t.co/41rd4OJeMF

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
It was a publix actually…#crshdfilesvol2 out now https://t.co/3JAVld7nBl pic.twitter.com/iBovb1d8Dq

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.”
“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.
@Drake when G.O.O.D. Music sends the money they owe you, will you please help us rebuild Kanye’s mothers house for the youth of Chicago. I spoke to Kanye about it. His response was “fuck the youth of Chicago”

Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian West chimed in to the scuffle questioning Rhymefest’s motives and made some bold statements.
U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST 😂 You’re over levergenging Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation

I saw you at our studio a few weeks ago so why didn’t you bring this up then @RHYMEFEST ? You were trying to get Kanye to listen to your sub par beats. You have the audacity to use Kanye’s mom name to try to shead a negative light on Kanye.

You didn’t say this when Kanye paid you up front then you disappeared during Pablo #RealFriends @RHYMEFEST

You better believe I will make it my mission to take Donda’s House from you and let my children run it the way it should be run! @RHYMEFEST
