Pusha T Appears to Take Jabs at Drake & Birdman on New Wale Collaboration ‘Damage Control’

Pusha T’s surgical summer continues after reuniting with Malice for the Clipse’s comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out, earlier in July.

Push recruited his “Only You Can Tell It” collaborator Wale for a DMV link-up on Friday (July 25) and bars from the Virginia native’s “Damage Control” verse caught fire on social media as they appeared to take aim at foes Drake and Birdman.

”The realest Birdman, I just cock-a-doodle-doo/ Doorstep, doorstep, I get it right through / Money talk, money talk, the wrist is light blue/ Sugarhill sweet, s—t is feeling type 2/ Bruised egos, man, you n—s might sue/ New Jack Ninos telling on the crew,” he raps.

The latter part referencing who “might sue” looks to poke at Drake and his lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track.

Drake and Pusha T’s feud reached a boiling point in 2018 when the duo exchanged diss tracks. The 6 God replied to Push’s “Infrared” snipes with “Duppy Freestyle,” while the Clipse rapper returned fire with “The Story of Adidon,” which revealed Drake had a son.

Pusha and Birdman’s issues date back to the 2000s when The Neptunes had a financial dispute with the Cash Money boss, with the producers claiming they weren’t paid for their work on “What Happened to That Boy” and “Grindin.'”

Pusha’s beef also bled to Lil Wayne, who took the “Mr. Me Too” video as shots in his direction. Push and The Neptunes didn’t appreciate Weezy making BAPE part of his aesthetic and rocking the purple zip-up jacket on the cover of VIBE in April 2006.

“I thought the whole ‘Mr. Me Too’ video was about me, to tell you the damn truth,” Wayne told Complex in 2006. “They think I want to be like them. I’m on a million-dollar bus going around the world charging people from $50,000 to $150,000 for verses, and I got 77 songs in magazines and I got a billion more. Do the math.”

The Don Cannon-produced “Damage Control” serves as a single set to land on Culture Jam Presents: Legend In My Hood, which is curated by NBA star Anthony Edwards and his brother, BDifferent.”
