    Pusha T has come back with a new team-up with rapper Wale, dropping a song called "Damage Control" on July 25 as part of Culture Jam Presents: Legend In My Hood. It is a project put together by NBA player Anthony Edwards and his brother BDifferent. Don Cannon made the beat, and the song has got people talking on social media because of some lines in Pusha T's part that seem to point to the ongoing beef with artists Drake and Birdman.

    In the song, Pusha T spits some lyrics like "Bruised egos, man, you n—s might sue" and "New Jack Ninos telling on the crew." People listening think these words might be about recent legal stuff Drake did, who they say filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group about Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us." Even though no names are said outright, the words have led to a lot of talk about maybe there being hidden shots at old enemies.


    Tensions resurface as Pusha T addresses past conflicts through music

    The public beef between Pusha T and Drake kicked off in 2018 when they started throwing shots at each other through their music. This clash grabbed headlines across the country after Pusha T dropped "The Story of Adidon," a track that spilled the beans on some private stuff about Drake's life.

    The dispute was preceded by earlier jabs from Pusha T, including “Infrared,” which accused Drake of using ghostwriters. In response, Drake dropped “Duppy Freestyle,” escalating the conflict further.

    The new song brings up themes that might connect to Birdman. Pusha T’s history with Birdman dates back to the early 2000s. Around that time, The Neptunes, who often worked with Pusha T, were caught in a money dispute with Cash Money Records. Birdman co-founded the label. Friction arose over accusations of unpaid royalties for songs like "What Happened to That Boy" and "Grindin’."

    Pusha T and Lil Wayne had their own tensions in the past. Wayne once said he thought the Clipse’s "Mr. Me Too" video took shots at him. He believed the video made fun of his style and fashion choices.

    The track "Damage Control" comes after Pusha T shared news in July about a new Clipse album titled Let God Sort Em Out, signifying a return to working alongside his brother Malice. This latest release keeps focus on ongoing challenges and brings fresh eyes to the lyrical back-and-forths in the hip-hop world.
