Young Thug Talks Pusha-T’s Presumed Drake Diss on Surfaced Pop Smoke Collab
Written by SOURCE on July 7, 2020
Young Thug says he doesn’t “respect” Pusha-T‘s verse on a recently surfaced track also featuring Gunna and the late Pop Smoke.
In a letter to fans shared to via his Instagram Story, Young Thug addressed the lyrics, which many fans have interpreted as being the latest entry in King Push’s history of Drake disses.
“I don’t respect the Pusha-T verse on the song with me and Gunna cause I don’t have nun to do with y’all beef nor does Gunna,” Thugger said. He added that if he had known the lyrics were “about him”—presumably meaning his multi-time collaborator Drake—he would have made changes prior to completion.
The song in question, possibly titled “Paranoia,” arrived following the release of Pop Smoke’s first posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.
In it, Pusha-T seemingly references a 2018 incident in which multiple people rushed the stage during his show in Toronto. He also mentions Mississauga, a Canadian city in the Ontario providence that neighbors Toronto.
Early Tuesday, Pusha-T responded to Thugger, saying that “nobody knew what the verse was about,” including the label bosses who halted its release.
“They ONLY ASSUME because HE TOLD them!” Pusha-T said, comparing it to another instance of what he says represents the same kind of moves.
