<\/div>\n

Pusha T<\/a> and Lil Wayne<\/a> were set to be on the sixth installment of Rick Ross<\/a>\u2018s \u201cMaybach Music\u201d series. The collaboration was pitched as a ceasefire between two rappers who have spent the better part of a decade<\/a> trading subliminals back and forth, to the point that Wayne\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Drake, inherited the beef. The animosity between the two dates back to Pusha\u2019s days in Clipse, the each accusing the other of stealing their style, and sparring over their stylistic influence over hip-hop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, during an interview with Bootleg Kev & DJ Hed<\/a>, Ross tried to dispel that there was any bad blood between his frequent collaborators. \u201cMe being on Pusha\u2019s album, me always being on Wayne\u2019s album, me always being on Drake\u2019s album, and me understanding it and looking at it from a real boss perspective. I felt like the differences they had that just came from Wayne being a soldier to his big homie,\u201d Ross said. \u201cWhatever differences Pusha may have had with Stunna. And I felt like Drake was being a soldier to his big homie. So is it really personal? And whatever was said is over with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Port of Miami 2<\/em> was uploaded to streaming services, and the hyped Pusha verse was glaringly absent. Predictably, the lost contribution leaked online in all its poised, calculated, and incendiary glory. It didn\u2019t take long for fans to claim the Virginia rapper was aiming several bars at Drake, continuing their beef, which previously culminated in 2018 with a blackface accusation and baby-revealing<\/a> blow from Pusha. \u201cCrowns on these clowns it\u2019s like you colored they nose,\u201d Push begins the verse. \u201cWe talking skill set or popularity polls \/ When you speak truth to power your popularity grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a short call into The Joe Budden Podcast<\/a>, Pusha shared how he felt about the removal of his verse. \u201cWe here to rap, bro. That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for,\u201d he declared. \u201cWe all have to do what we do best. I have to do what I do best. The next guy gotta do what he does best. It\u2019s lanes for everybody. It\u2019s part of the game. I can\u2019t complain about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, Ross discussed with Hot 97\u2019s Ebro in the Morning<\/a> why he decided to scrap Pusha\u2019s verse. \u201cBoth verses were cleared from both parties, but like I said, it was more about the bigger picture,\u201d Ross shared. \u201cIs this gonna move them two getting together closer? I\u2019mma take the charge for that. I didn\u2019t feel like this was the time for that. I got the record done. I got Wayne verse first and I got Push verse. I wanted to bring them together, either way, or at least spark that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

As recently as June, Drake dropped the equally petty \u201cOmert\u00e0\u201d on his The Best In The World Pack<\/em><\/a> (the other track on the two-song EP, \u201cMoney In The Grave,\u201d featured Ross). During Drake\u2019s verse he claimed that \u201clast year, niggas really feel like they rode on me \/ last year, niggas got hot \u2019cause they told on me.\u201d It\u2019s unlikely that either side will let this die quietly.<\/p>\n

The cup of endless subliminals runneth over, and the only winner at this point is Rozay.<\/p>\n
