Pusha T Response to Drake: The Story of Adidon
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
This went from possibly being one of the best hip-hop beefs in history to some absolute bullshit thanks to J Prince. This could have been the life line that hip hop needed but is ruined because of a self serving "gangster"? he's a part of the problem.

Conflict is a way of life on Planet Earth period. In every field, occupation or job. Please name a period of time without some kind of conflict going on?
Why is it hard for ppl to comment on this event AND be about their business?
Yesterday I worked my full time job, come home worked 3 hours on my side businesses, took care of my aging parent and still commented on this beef. People can do both and be productive in life.
Drizzy Sissy responds
Cmon son lmbaooo
Aubrey gonna have that jew law crowd looking like.....
Experts on Whether Pusha T's Drake Dis Could Land Him in Court
6/4/2018 by Gil Kaufman
As of now, the court of public opinion seems to have rendered its verdict on the case of Pusha T v Drake.
With his super hard-hitting takedown "The Story of Adidon," in which Push alleges that Drake is an absentee father to his secret love child with a porn star, the former Clipse member appears to have bested the 6 God in the battle track game. By doubling down with the single's cover art in which Drizzy is seen in blackface -- an image Drake says was meant to highlight racism in the TV and film industries -- Pusha appeared to have scored a rare K.O. against Drake in this round.
But could Drake come back at him in a different arena and win? Billboard asked First Amendment expert attorney James Chadwick of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP if the private information Pusha included in the track could leave him open to retaliation in the courts.
"There's no automatic exemption from potential liability for expression in the context of an artistic performance," Chadwick tells Billboard about whether Push is on solid ground because he leveled the attacks in a song. "The context is still important, because the context may affect whether or not assertions are treated as assertions of fact or as non-factual assertions. Opinion is a general category, but it's really more a question of whether or not a court would treat a statement as likely being understood by the audience as assertions of true fact, as opposed to someone just mouthing off, rhetorical hyperbole, exaggeration."
When asked what protections the First Amendment has in the case of one artist potentially having a financial impact on another's major roll-out campaign for a brand line, Chadwick, speaking in general terms without specific knowledge of the Pusha-Drake situation, says that's more complicated. "Financial loss doesn't affect whether or not speech is protected by the First Amendment," he says, "Financial loss may be a prerequisite for certain kinds of claims. There are claims that could be asserted other than what you might expect in a traditional defamation or invasion of privacy [case]."
That claim is called tortious interference of economic advantage, which, in layman's terms, refers to a case in which one person's unlawful, meddling actions intentionally damage someone else's business relationship with a third party, resulting in economic harm to either one. So, for example, if Pusha's apparent reveal that Drake's new line with adidas is going to be called Adidon in honor of his alleged secret son (reportedly named Adonis), and that the revelation of his offspring's story was going to be part of the roll-out campaign (as reported by TMZ) somehow interferes with Drake's business relationship with adidas, that could be an issue. A spokesperson for Drake had no comment for this article.
"Showing harm is part of that claim, and you might be able to assert a claim like that, but you'd still have to show that the speech at issue is not protected," he says, hinting at the difficulty in such a case.
The kind of back-and-forth that typically takes place in rap battles isn't automatically protected, according to Chadwick, but rather a mixed question of fact and law in which a court looks at the context and factors in who is involved in the beef. "Obviously public figures have a higher burden to establish liability for something like defamation," he says. "If you have well-known artists exchanging barbs, in general it's less likely that those will be treated as statements of fact. They're going to probably be deemed as opinion, but it's not impossible for them to be treated as statements of fact, to be found to be false and to be found to be defamatory. But is it even defamatory to accuse a rap artist of having an illegitimate child? I'm not sure it is."
The bottom line is on a good day libel/slander cases are typically very hard ones to win thanks to robust First Amendment protections. And unless Drake is willing to open up his private life to scrutiny and deny the information is true or confirm it and potentially lose face with both adidas and his fans, chances are he’ll respond with a track rather than a legal brief. "Truth is an absolute defense in all defamation/slander cases," adds noted hip-hop attorney Stacey Richman, who has worked on behalf of DMX, J Rule and Lil Wayne in the past.
And given the hip-hop bro code, in which bars are one thing but legal action is another, it's highly unlikely that Drake would come back at Pusha with a subpoena in place of another dis track. Besides, considering it's been more than a week since Pusha dropped "Adidon" and Drake has yet to respond, legal action -- versus lacerating verses -- would be a questionable strategy for the latter from a PR perspective. "Drake would lose more points [from hip-hop fans] for going to court," says hip-hop journalist and Genius' manager of artist relations Rob Markman.
Now, if the details spilled by Pusha in his song are all true, they may not be considered defamatory or actionable, but Chadwick says there could be a claim on invasion of privacy grounds, which assumes the information disclosed is true, but private and not newsworthy. "[But] that claim is difficult in a context like this, as well with people who are known for exchanging attacks," he qualifies.

I KNEW it was gon a come down to a Jew being a Jew.
Biggest snakes on planet earth.
You know your soul is tattered when you looking for damages in court.
Not trying to start a fight, but you don't know me to make assumptions. I'm not placing too much value on this at all, but when you see this going on for 30 pages, it isn't a stretch to say that this is a very big deal to more than a few people. I am very much Black, thank you - I just try to focus my energy on more positive things, that's all.
This isn't even negative tho it's about music
So for those keeping score...
.... upper managment...
...dude's immediate supervisor...
..and big homie with clout, all had to intervene AND intercede on Drake's behalf in order to get Pusha-T off his ass. Nigga gets into a school yard brawl and now parents, the principal, and the police gotta get involved because he got a bloody nose.
Yeah Drake is now a vegan. 'Beef' need not ever be part of his life.
*two cents*
It looks so much better when it's broken down like this.
Thank you kind sir. Your efforts will not go unappreciated.
This is all true...but wouldn't it be a cool thing if they squashed this beef together in the name of unity? Or is it more cool for it to go back and forth and escalate?
Fool said drake better release his album after father's day lol
Don't get tight man. At the end of the day, this has no baring on any of us nor the participants involved.
Hov and Nas went at it and were sipping champagne in the Roc Boys video years later. It's hip hop. Verbal sword play that's no holds barred that spawns a winner and a loser.
That's all.
Also - it's funny as fuck to expose frauds which is what a majority of us have felt for the better part of a decade now. Let us enjoy this killing for all our patience.
If it truly bothers you, you can always opt out and focus your energies elsewhere. No harm no foul.
You're right - it has no bearing on my life. And yes, Nas and Jay-Z squashed the beef, which was great. Thankfully, it didn't end like Biggie-Tupac 20 years ago...or like countless beefs between non-famous brothers that we don't hear about. I don't like to hear about beefs such as this, because (not saying it will happen here) too many times we feel that we have to defend our pride and honor in a violent way. It's just not necessary to try and humiliate people like that, no matter who they are.
But you're right. I can focus my concerns elsewhere. Peace to you, and I appreciate your outlook.
Could Drake Be Silently Working On An Entire Movie Dissing Pusha T?
byAllHipHop Staff
Rapper Daylyt believes Drake is going to release a Pusha T diss movie.
By: Rico Panacea (@RicoPanacea)
(AllHipHop Rumors) The feud between rappers Drake & Pusha T continues to get stranger by the day. It's safe to say that the music industry and fans alike aren't going to let this one end prematurely.
Over the weekend, Pusha T performed an amazing set at the Governors Ball in New York City. However, fans would begin chanting "f##k Drake" during the performance even as Pusha advised them not to.
Many fans have been waiting for Drake to respond to Pusha T's latest diss record. Kanye West, on the other hand, took to Twitter in attempt to try to calm the feud.
Calming down this fire is proving to be harder than many people thought. Drake has been quiet for the past few days, but he did attempt to explain the photos of him wearing "blackface".
Now rapper Daylyt is emerging with information that could explain Drake's next plans. According to Daylyt, he was also dissed on Pusha T's latest album.
He goes on to explain to his Twitter followers that Drake is shooting a diss movie about Pusha T. Daylyt continues by explaining that no rapping will be involved in the film.
Drake is a new actor, but would he attempt such a feat?
Apparently, Daylyt knows so and we'll all have to wait for the final product to be released.

These Canadian bamas are weak-sauce. No disrespect to my man @Helico-pterFunk.
I am kinda shocked that the millennial internet crowd did not start to birth JP memes of how he stopped some of the best moments in history from going the distance....like the Mayweather fights in the 3rd round or Super Bowls in the 3rd quarter....or a World Series in the 3rd inning of game 7....or an NBA finals in Game 3 or something.
Damn drake
