Pusha T Speaks Out On Kendrick Lamar Namedropping Him In 'Euphoria'
Pusha T has broken his silence on the shoutout Kendrick Lamar gave him in his Drake diss track, "Euphoria."
In the track, Lamar referenced Drake's 2018 feud with Pusha T, who won their rap beef by revealing the existence of the "God's Plan" hitmaker's once-unclaimed son, Adonis.
"Let me see you push a T," Lamar raps in "Euphoria."
Pusha T gave Lamar's verse his seal of approval after being asked about the "Euphoria" name-drop during an interview with Vulture alongside his older brother No Malice.
"Incredible. Incredible display. Incredible display of battle raps. Listen man, Kendrick ...," the 47-year-old rapper, whose real name is Terrence LeVarr Thornton, told the outlet.
No Malice chimed in by calling Lamar's verse "a master class" in rapping.
Pusha T's beef with Drake began after the latter got involved in the Clipse member's feud with Lil Wayne, according to Billboard.
Pusha T and Drake began exchanging subtle disses, starting with the former's 2011 track "Don't F**k With Me."
They continued their feud with "Exodus 23:1," "Tuscan Leather," "H.G.T.V Freestyle," and "Two Birds, One Stone" until Pusha T dropped his scathing diss track, "The Story of Adidon."
In the 2018 track, Pusha T revealed that Drake had a secret son named Adonis.
Six years later, Lamar kickstarted his rap beef with Drake with the verse, "Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it's just big me," on Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That" in March.
It appeared to be a response to Drake and J. Cole's song "First Person Shooter," in which the latter raps: "Love when they argue the hardest MC / Is it K. Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me? / We the big three, like we started a league."
Following Lamar's diss, J. Cole fired back with "7 Minute Drill" but later apologized and bowed out of the battle.
Drake, however, released the diss tracks "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle," to which Lamar responded by calling his rival a "master manipulator and habitual liar" in "Euphoria."
Lamar went on to accuse Drake of having a secret daughter and pursuing underage girls in the tracks "6:16 in LA," "Meet the Grahams" and "Not Like Us."
Drake denied Lamar's claims in his final release in their rap beef, "The Heart Part 6."
