Drake did that by name dropping Kanye every chance he could.
That Exodus 23 diss was overlooked by casuals but Drake took it as a chance to build clout by taking shots at a Ye knowing he was a soft target with a way bigger name.
Ima go on the limb and say only hip hop heads and GOOD music fans cared about Infrared, but once Drake took the bait and name dropped Kanye (again) for mainstream attention, that’s when Push knew he had the public’s eyes and ears for that ether he dropped. Drake fans couldn’t pretend nobody noticed or cared. That was a straight 48 Laws of Power move.
Lmaoooo, this is so backwards.
Remember Pusha was beefing with Wayne way before. He switched to going at Drake because he was the bigger target. drake asked him pubicly to be more direct and pusha still didn't say his dreams money to buy remix or Exodus was about anyone specifically. he didn't even start going at Kanye until Kanye went on that rant and that was after Ye said 40 stole his style. I think that's the only person Kanye has directly said that about.
He went at Pusha directly on 2 birds 1 stone. Pusha still brought up the difference in authenticity when it comes to music. that was the only thing he had going for him.
Pusha even said in an interview that he's his labels designated shooter so people can have their peace and there's only person that he's been going at consistently now. the same person kanye expressed jealousy towards, the same one that helped write multiple songs on TLOP, the same one he was in Wyoming with to work on music with, the same one they purposely tried not to credit on literally the only single from Ye.
Ye literally had the nikka over writing for the past 3 albums and Ye still sat by and let Pusha's current claim to fame be calling out Drake for ghostwriting, he rode with Cudi after he and his manager did the same thing.
Ye, so far, has admitted to releasing those albums to mess up his rollout and scatting over lift yourself, presumably just because Drake took him off God's Plan, and to being aware of the Quintin Miller bar in Pusha's diss and saying no song he's apart of should have negative energy to him.
Ye has admitted to all that. Pusha admitted to being the shooter so ye can maintain his happiness. and somehow people still think Drake went at Ye because he's scared of Pusha?
The man he called out for all the lying about him selling. The man who responded with it "that's like saying the Holocaust didn't happen" and could only attack him with ghostwriting again. The man that had his card pulled when Drake referenced Pusha's own brother saying they grew up decently and sold for clothes. The man that had his card pulled again when asked what he truly thinks about ye if he been dissing Drake for ghostwriting all these years.
Be real, if ye wouldn't have gave up everything he knew about Drake, Duppy would have ended Pusha.
I can't stress enough just how long he only talked about Drake ghostwriting in songs and interviews, just to push all that shyt aside when he got confronted on it.
ya'll even let him say he's pushing those credibility attacks aside on the track, lmao. like uh nah, fukk that, what bout THIS though?
man is/was nothing but a tool for ye's jealousy. I know people hate Drake but he's bodied pretty much every single rapper that comes at him. Look: he had common out here admitting he came at Drake because he was emotional over Serena, had Meek admitting to being an opiate addict and only sending those tweets because he was high, had Pusha out here admitting he's just a tool for the label/ye to go at Drake, and has Ye on an actual Drake apology tour. shyt's actually hilarious.
