Drake Has 'No Desire To Ever Mend Anything' With Pusha T — And More Revelations From Lengthy New Interview

Drake spent most of 2019 at Toronto Raptors games, celebrating the Toronto Raptors's NBA Championship win, and releasing songs to commemorate the Toronto Raptors NBA Championship win. He also teased work on a new album, released a assortment of loosies, and popped up on with festivals and features here and there. This is all to mention his 2019 has resembled a fairly regular one for a rapper not directly in album mode. Maybe that's why he's feeling reflective.


On Christmas Day — just a day soon after he debuted the loosie "War" — Rap Radar released a lengthy two-hour interview with the man himself in conversation with Elliott Wilson and Brian "B. Dot" Miller (who is also a MTV News correspondent). In it, Drake speaks freely on the specter of his lingering Pusha T beef, which burned hot in mid-2018 although was never officially resolved, and also his ongoing cold war and seemingly frayed connection with Kanye West.


"I have no hope to ever mend anything with that person," Drake mentioned (per Rolling Stone), referring to Pusha T and the dis track "The Story of Adidon," in which Pusha revealed the existence of Drake's son and labeled him a "deadbeat dad." "That situation just went... You know, it just went where it went. There really is no turning back."


West, meanwhile, has remained at the center of the beef both for his much longer ties to Drake along with because the fact that he produced Pusha's album Daytona around the time the beef went supernova. The pair have publicly exchanged words tinged with apologetic notes yet have never officially reconciled. "I think that he certainly recruited a guy with a similar dislike for me no matter what he says in interviews," Drake said.


"There's something there that bothers him deeply and yeah, I can't fix it for him. It just is what it is. I may never ever, ever, ever turn my back on the things that I've mentioned about him in a positive light... Things have changed. I'm not just some kid that's a fan anymore. Right now we have personalized situations, and like I mentioned, a lot of his issues with me, I can't fix them for him."


Elsewhere in the interview, Drake addressed how he was booed offstage at Camp Flow Gnaw in November by fans expecting Frank Ocean because the surprise headliner as a substitute ("In hindsight, I wish I would've mentioned, 'Yo guys, Frank...' Or just broke out into, 'A tornado flew around...'") And also once we may have the ability to hear his new music in 2020.


The interview is about as long as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, so there's certainly plenty more to dive into. Go ahead and watch the whole thing in the video above.
