With Drake’s album Scorpion on the horizon, the Canadian rapper has come through with two new tracks over the weekend, further heightening the anticipation for his full-length.
The first comes as a response to ‘Infrared’ by Pusha T which dropped on Friday, where the G.O.O.D Music rapper reignited his feud with Drake by again referencing his ghostwriter and label issues at Cash Money. Drake was swift in his retaliation, dropping ‘Duppy Freestyle’ where he accuses Pusha T of exaggerating his past as a drug dealer, while additionally accusing Kanye West of holding back Virgil Abloh’s career.
The last line of the song finds Drake rapping “Tell ‘Ye, we got a invoice comin’ to you/Considerin’ that we just sold another 20 for you,” suggesting that the feud has actually helped Pusha sell more copies of his album. When Pusha took to Twitter to ask for the said invoice, Drake actually wrote one up and posted it to Instagram, charging them $100,000 for “promotional assistance and career reviving.” It’s incredibly petty, but also pretty great:
Following the freestyle, Drake capitalised on the buzz by dropping another more mellow track titled ‘I’m Upset.’ It doesn’t have the fire of its predecessor, and we’re hoping that Scorpion provides a little more engaging work from the OVO head honcho. Listen to ‘I’m Upset’ below:
