Drake Addresses Beef with Pusha T on Rap Radar
Releasing “War” just two days ago, Drake sits down for a two hour interview with Rap Radar.
Interviewed by Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller, the three men talked about everything from Rihanna to Drake’s intensive beef with G.O.O.D. Music president and rapper, Pusha T. While discussing the beef between the two that took place just last year, Drake says he has no intentions on mending things with the former Clipse member.
“He’s just made an entire career off of it,” Drake said when speaking on his beef with Pusha T. “Some people like his music, I personally don’t ’cause I don’t believe any of it. And I like to listen to guys I believe.” The 6-God continued, “You just get to peak behind the curtain too. When I was whatever, 16, thinking that he was the biggest dope dealer in the world serving bricks to all, every corner of America, yeah sure. I was… a fan obviously more so just a fan of Pharrell and the Neptunes. I always wanted to be signed to Star Trak and stuff like that, that was the wave. Now that I’m grown-up, and I know him and the truth, it’s just not as appealing.”
Drake also addresses being booed at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw, his relationship with Kanye West and accusations of cultural appropriation.
