All weekend, all anyone could talk about was how silenced Pusha T was by Drake‘s “Duppy Freestyle” rebuttal to the Clipse veteran’s “Infrared” diss track. The turtle-necked romantic and serious chart topper seemed to bury the G.O.O.D. Music rapper on the day of his album release. Days went without an answer, and people were wide-eyed by Pusha’s absence — but now all anyone can talk about is, wait, does Drake have a kid?
Following the release of Pusha’s brutal “The Story of Adidon,” the whole music-loving world is a tizzy and dance music is no exception. Here’s how some of our favorite DJs weigh in on the Pusha T vs. Drake rap beef.

Listen to “I’m Upset” again and consider the timing of its release
Listen to the lines about not going 50/50 with a hoe, paying her bills, and monthly child support…
The record isn’t supposed to be a hit, it was Drake’s way of 8 Mile’ing himself before Push dropped the bomb
