    Pusha T Takes Jabs at Drake Following Legal Action Over Kendrick Lamar’s Diss Track

    Pusha T fired back at Drake following the Canadian rapper’s lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

    Pusha T once again took shots at Drake after that Canadian rapper’s legal action against Universal Music Group for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

    Pusha later discussed an interview with Ari Melber about being a topic in Kendrick’s diss-track “Euphoria” during an appearance at Miami Art Week. He advised that Kendrick was warning Drake that he would have to deal with Pusha before coming after Kendrick.

    He went on to hail Kendrick’s depth in lyricism by saying, “Kendrick is the kind of lyricist that talks to your soul. You can be cute about saying clever things, but the truth really hurts and hurts deep.”

    Next, he referred to Drake’s legal move against UMG, implying that Kendrick’s fiery powerful lyrics were part of the impetus of the lawsuit. “I think that would make you tap out, that would probably make you sue… it’s crazy,” Pusha stated.

    Kodak Black aired his grievance against Drake today for apparently not trying hard enough to work with him, particularly with rival Kendrick Lamar snagging such opportunities from him.

    In a recording made by a friend, the outspoken rapper vented his feelings about Drake, whom he accused of addressing him as his best rapper while Kodak questioned, “It don’t make no sense that Kendrick Lamar beat you to it.”

    Kodak also mentioned that he appeared on Kendrick’s 2022 album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, asserting that it made sense for Drake to do what he said, especially in sending cash, instead of working with him.

  • Drake Tops Spotify’s Year-End Charts, While Kendrick Lamar Dominates Apple Music

    Drake Tops Spotify’s Year-End Charts, While Kendrick Lamar Dominates Apple Music

    Drake has claimed the title of Spotify’s top-streamed rapper for 2024, beating out Kendrick Lamar in the streaming battle

    Drake has been named Spotify’s top-streamed rapper for 2024, managing to steal a big win from Kendrick Lamar in the streaming wars.

    On the other hand, on Wednesday (December 4), Spotify turned out its annual Wrapped global report and declared Drake as the most-visited rapper worldwide under which he places fourth as the overall most-streamed artist, alongside Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny as the most-streamed artists. Other hip-hop stars who made the top 10 are Travis Scott and Kanye West, ranked sixth and eighth, respectively.

    Drake can also solidify his throne in America, where he is Spotify’s top-streamed rapper and is below only Taylor Swift among all artists. Kendrick Lamar is ranked seventh on that list in the US, behind Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Future.

    However, over on Apple Music, Kendrick scored a massive victory. His Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” claimed the honor of being the platform’s most-listened-to global song for 2024.

    Apple Music debuted its “Top Songs of 2024: Global” playlist on Tuesday (November 3) and included Kendrick’s top end in its vast sweep of popular music. Other songs getting attention include Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at number four and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s piece “I Had Some Help” at number six.

    The fight had already turned out to be intensifying before this, with battles showing no sign of abating between the two giants over the largest platforms in the music business.

  • Drake Takes Jabs at Kendrick Lamar During Livestream After Legal Drama

    Drake Takes Jabs at Kendrick Lamar During Livestream After Legal Drama

    Despite legal battles with Universal Music Group, Drake continues taking shots at rival Kendrick Lamar

    Drake has not allowed his recent legal battles with Universal Music Group, which may have tainted his public image, to keep him from firing shots at his rival Kendrick Lamar.

    So it was that on Tuesday, December 3, when he happened to tune in to the live session on Twitch with LosPollosTV, the Toronto rapper decided it was worth jumping on the bandwagon and trolling Kendrick.

    That’s when LosPollosTV was ranting about how “every time Kendrick’s new single ‘Squabble Up’ is released,” the streaming platforms intuitively “release it right after Drake’s Certified Lover Boy.” In response to the comment section of the livestream, Drake chimed in with: “we need a donut emoji in the chat.”

    Drake carried on his playful antics, mimicking Kendrick’s viral “TV Off” line, “Mustaaard!”: “CUSTAAAARRRRRD.”

    The exchanged animated posts came after both of them had been beefing on and off lately.

  • Drake Charged With Dodging Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show with Australian Tour Announcement

    Drake Charged With Dodging Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show with Australian Tour Announcement

    Drake accused of avoiding Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show with Australian tour announcement

    Drake is being accused of running from Kendrick Lamar’s highly-anticipated Super Bowl LIX halftime performance by scheduling an Australian tour that is set to kick off on the same day.

    At a recent Kick livestream with xQc, Drake announced: “Next year, I’ll be back in Australia: first time in almost ten years.”

    Anita Max Wynn Tour is the title given to Drake’s tour — named after his gambling persona — and it’s set to kick off by drilling the biggest cities such as Melbourne and Sydney on February 9.

    These coincidentally coincide with the kickoff of Super Bowl LIX, where Kendrick Lamar is set to headline the halftime show, which has fueled speculation that Drake would be skipping out on the high-profile event featuring his old industry rival.

  • Funkmaster Flex Backs Drake’s Payola Allegations Against Music Industry

    Funkmaster Flex Backs Drake’s Payola Allegations Against Music Industry

    Funkmaster Flex is all for Drake’s assertion that artists and labels pay cash for airplay on the radio

    A buzz is being created by the music star of Drake who has filed two legal complaints against Universal Music Group for the usage of payola along streaming bots to enhance the false ranking of the diss track from Kendrick Lamar, “Not Like Us.”

    Endorsing Drake’s assertions, the old-timer Hot 97 DJ said on X (formerly Twitter): “DRAKE IS 100% RIGHT! NATIONAL PLAY! (PER SONG) DRAKE DONT $ FOR PLAY!”

    Flex enumerated the supposed costs of radio play: “POP/CHR RADIO: $350K. URBAN RADIO: $250K. MIXSHOW: $100K. LOCAL MIXSHOW DIRECTOR: $40K. LOCAL DJ: $3K-5K PER SONG! (DJS ON THE RADIO 5 DAYS A WEEK).”

    This practice would also forceminimize independent artists into mainstream success in a way, meaning, “ALL YOU ARTIST KNOW I AIN’T NEVER TAKE A DIME FROM YOU, YOUR MANAGER, OR YOUR LABELS! (BOMB HAS NO PRICE).”

    Flex went on with his rant on Instagram, and then accused some DJs of taking some money under the table through payola to play a song. “HAHAHAHA! SOME DJS BEEN TAKING PAYOLA TO PLAY SONGS! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS TRICKLES DOWN! (I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS),” he wrote.

    Flex was at it again, calling for reform: “DJS SHOULD PLAY A SONG BECAUSE IT’S HOT! MUSIC INDUSTRY WILL BLACKBALL ME FOR THIS, BUT THAT’S OK! (NEEDS TO BE SAID). THIS ISN’T ABOUT KENDRICK. HE HAS AN AMAZING SONG! PAY FOR PLAY G
