Young Thug was apparently fuming after he realized Pusha T dissed Drake on an unreleased Pop Smoke song called “Paranoia” featuring Thugger, Gunna and King Push. On Monday night (July 6), the Jeffery mastermind said he didn’t respect Push’s verse and concluded “this rapper s--- so gay” following the discovery.
But it didn’t take long for Push to fire back. On Tuesday morning (July 7), the Clipse MC hit up his Instagram Stories and attempted to set Thugger straight, all while suggesting Drake is a snitch.
“Aye @youngthug couple things: Don’t feel bad. NOBODY knew what the verse was abt. 1. The label heads that stopped it didn’t even know. They ONLY ASSUME because HE TOLD them! The same way HE TOLD abt the Ross ‘Maybach 6’ verse. And if HE’LL TELL record executives abt rap verses, God only knows what else HE’LL TELL! I don’t deal in Police Work, Police Rappers or Police n----s!!
“2. @youngthug you were the last verse added to the song and that’s ONLY because I requested YOU!! 3. And most important @youngthug, just so we are clear…I would NEVER look or need YOUR respect for what it is I bring to this rap game!!”
“@stevenvictor I demand you take me off the deluxe @realpopsmoke album to avoid any confusion that may take away from this amazing body of work!” he wrote. “From rappers crying to record execs to blatant label censorship, I don’t ride with none of it … but love every bit of it!! Now y’all run along and be gangsters, but u leave the devil alone!”
Of course, Drake and Push have a murky past. In 2018, a war of words popped off after Pusha dissed the 6 God on the DAYTONA track “Infrared.” From there, the Toronto superstar returned fire with “Duppy Freestyle” and dragged Push’s then-fiancée Virginia Williams into it.
