Pusha T Criticizes Drake for Suing Kendrick Lamar
At the Miami Art Week event hosted by MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Dec. 7, Pusha T shared his thoughts on the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. When asked about who he believed won the rap battle between the two artists, Pusha T didn’t hesitate to declare Kendrick Lamar as the victor.
In a video from the event, Pusha T stated, “I think Kendrick Lamar is a lyricist. And a lyricist that talks to your soul. You can be clever, you can say cute things. You can do things in cadences…but the truth really hurts. What Kendrick was really doing was talking to his soul. I believe that would cause you to tap out. That will cause you to sue. That will cause you to do a lot of things. It’s crazy.”
Drake’s Controversial Legal Action
Drake made headlines when he filed pre-action petitions against Universal Music Group, Spotify, and iHeartRadio on Nov. 25. The petitions, filed in New York and Texas, accused the music companies of colluding to artificially boost “Not Like Us.” The Texas filing also claimed defamation by UMG for releasing a song accusing Drake of being a child predator. Despite the controversy, Kendrick Lamar was not named as a defendant in the legal action.
Drake’s decision to take legal action over the diss track has divided fans, with mixed reactions to his strategy.
