Pusha-T Confirms Surgical Summer Is Over
It was just a week and a half ago that Pusha-T released the ridiculously scathing “The Story Of Adidon,” maybe the most devastating rap-feud anthem in recent memory. On that song, Pusha promised “a surgical summer.” In interviews shortly afterward, he said that he had more material on Drake ready to go if the feud continued. But soon afterward, both Kanye West and the legendary behind-the-scenes boogeyman J. Prince, who is one of Drake’s handlers, said that the feud was over. And now Pusha seems to agree.
Pusha gave an interview to Vanity Fair to promote his amazing Daytona album. He generally gave long, thoughtful answers. But when the conversation turned to the feud, those answers became a little more terse. When asked what “we’re supposed to learn” from his feud with Drake, Pusha said, “I don’t even know. I don’t know what was lost or what was gained.” And on whether he had more stuff about Drake ready to go, Pusha said, “These conversations have been had and, to my knowledge, it’s all over. It’s all over with… I’m ready to be back to the music for real. Just feeding my base, that’s it. That’s the most important thing to me at all times.”
The best part of the interview is the way Pusha describes how he got the instantly infamous photos of Drake in blackface: “People really love me, man. People love me and people are disloyal as fuck. People are so disloyal, man, it’s so weird.”
