At long last, Pusha-T is revealing his sources. Days after Drake opened up to LeBron James about feeling betrayed by Kanye West, whom he believes was the snitch who told Push about his secret son ā which Push then used as ammunition in his lethal diss track ā despite Kanyeās denial, Push is now setting the record straight about how he acquired that information. Appearing on Joe Buddenās podcast, he claims it was actually Drakeās longtime producer, Noah ā40ā Shebib, who indirectly spilled the beans.
āIt may make sense in Drakeās mind ā āOh, Ye told Push about my son and my situation when we was in Wyomingā ā itās wrong. Didnāt happen like that. The information came from 40. It didnāt come from Kanye, at all. 40 is sleeping with a woman, he talks to her daily ā¦ Ultimately speaks [to the woman] about how heās disgruntled about notoriety and certain things involving Drake and his career. With that also came the fact that Drake has a child. With that came the trip that everybody took to go see the child and bring him gifts. She divulged all of this information. Thatās where it came from. She knew all of this [including Drakeās scrapped Adidas line named for his son]. I didnāt get it from him or them. Thatās all it was. Pillow talking kills everybody. [40ās] probably not gonna admit it to them ā he gotta keep that lie face on ā but they gonna know. [Drake] knows exactly who this [woman] is. He knows exactly what Iām talking about. Heās going to. I couldnāt live with myself without telling him, without him knowing this. He has to live with this.ā
Push says he kept that detail hushed because āthere was so much power in silenceā and also out of spite, and was taken aback by Kanyeās apology to Drake. āWhat are you apologizing for, sir? You didnāt give me anything in regard to aiding in this drama. Nothing ā¦ You shouldnāt have done that. No interviews shouldāve been done. Because of all of that right there, now [Drake] thinks what he thinks.ā Push explains that heās coming forward now after watching Drake on LeBronās show say he shouldāve been punched for taking a jab at 40ās battle with MS on his diss track. āBut your friend is the reason why [he knows about Drakeās son]. Thatās how it came about. That narrative gotta die.ā
Push later added that Kanye went so far as to keep Drake and Push separated in the studio in Wyoming, arranging for Push to leave the day before Drake arrived. āEverybody else can be there. I canāt because I donāt play neutral. You donāt get to shoot my homeboys, itās not happening,ā he says. āEverybody not built like me. This is the music industry, this aināt the streets.ā He also reveals he received a call from a longtime friend and collaborator claiming that Drakeās team had bribed her for dirt on Push. āWe in the car [to Kanyeās album listening party in Wyoming] and get a call from an old friend saying, āSomeone just hit me up talking about $100,000 for information on you,āā Push says. āThat research didnāt come back with nothing. As a matter of fact, they taped the conversations and gave them to me.ā
