Pusha T and More Hip-Hop Stars React to Drake's Diss Track 'Duppy Freestyle'
Drake didn't hold back on "Duppy Freestyle," his response to Pusha T's diss track "Infrared." Pusha, as expected, wasn't so thrilled about the SoundCloud track.
In the freestyle released Friday (May 25), Drake calls out Kanye West and GOOD Music by rapping, “Tell ’Ye we got an invoice comin’ to you/ Considering we just sold another 20 for you.” Pusha took to Twitter in response, tweeting, "Send the invoice for the extra 20..."
The hip-hop community as a whole seemingly grabbed their popcorn to watch the feud unfold. Questlove, Crime Rhyme, Birdman and more took to social media to share their thoughts. See the tweets below.

Drake Hits Back at Pusha T's Diss Track With 'Duppy Freestyle': Listen
The longtime feud between Drake and Pusha-T just keeps on boiling. Just a few hours after Pusha's "Infrared" was released with a subliminal line shading Drake, the "God's Plan" rapper has a response of his own.
"Infrared," the closing song off Pusha-T's latest project, Daytona, released Friday (May 25), features the lyrics: "Your hooks did it/ The lyrics pennin' equals to Trump's winnin'/ The bigger question is how the Russians did it/ It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin." The verse was widely received as taking a shot at Drizzy using ghostwriters on his songs.
On "Duppy Freestyle," which Drake posted to Soundcloud later Friday, he opens with the words, "I’m in shock. The nerve, the audacity." He then dives into a three-minute flow mentioning GOOD Music label founder Kanye West directly, and hitting everything from Pusha's age to his dying career.
"I had a microphone of yours/ But then the signature faded/ I think that pretty much resembles what’s been happening lately," Drake raps.
He also puts a twist on the line that shaded him in the first place: "Whoever supposedly making me hits/ But ain’t got no hits sounds like they need me/My hooks did it/ My lyrics did it/My spirit did it."
