Pusha-T is the latest guest to appear on “The Joe Budden Podcast,” where he revealed how he came to find out that Drake had fathered a son. “The information came from 40. It didn’t come from Kanye at all,” he said, referring to Drake’s long-time producer Noah “40” Shebib. “40 is sleeping with a woman... He talks to her daily. Five, six hours a day... and ultimately speaks about how he's disgruntled about certain things: Notoriety and things involving Drake, and his career, and so on and so forth. With that also came the fact that Drake has a child. With that also came the trip that everybody took to go see the child and bring him gifts, and all of this information. She divulged this information.” Find that around the 24:45 mark here.

He also responds to Drake’s claims that Pusha “wished death” upon 40 in the lyrics of “The Story of Adidon.” “I never did,” Pusha says. “I was just acknowledging an ailment.” (When the National Multiple Sclerosis Society responded to those lyrics back in May, pointing out that he released the track just before World MS Day, Pusha responded, “Oh man, wow, that’s ironic.”)

Elsewhere in the interview, Pusha admits that he would have released “The Story of Adidon” regardless of whether or not Drake mentioned his wife on the diss track “Duppy Freestyle.” At one point, he states that Drake put out a $100,000 bounty for information on him, providing anecdotes of friends that reached out to him after being contacted about the info. The interview also touched on Pusha’s working relationship with Kanye in light of their political differences, how he sees MAGA hats as the new “Klan hood,” and more. Later, he is asked about Drake’s Scorpion album: “I didn't think it was that good,” he says. "There was a lot of filler"

Pusha’s podcast appearance follows Drake’s recent appearance on LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s HBO show “The Shop,” during which Drake opened up about the beef and stated that he recorded a diss track in response to “Adidon“ that he decided not to release.
