Drake Disses Joe Budden, Pusha T, Kanye West On ‘Scary Hours 3’

Drake sent shots at Joe Budden, Kanye West, Pusha T, Pharrell, and independent women on his latest album.

With the release of Scary Hours 3, Drizzy aired out his enemies with bars for everyone. The project serves as “Disc 2” of his previously released For All The Dogs album and includes six new songs. Aubrey kicks off the project with “Red Button,” produced by Ovrkast and Lil Yachty, and immediately goes after his opposition.

Ye gets the first shot, as he goes after the artist for defrauding him in their storied and troubled friendship. The Canadian entertainer calls Kanye’s G.O.O.D Music label into question, clowns his “padded” streaming stats, and points out various times West turned on him. Drake also took the time to declare Taylor Swift as the only “ni**a” that he is musically afraid of.

“Taylor Swift the only ni**a that I ever rated/Only one could make me drop the album just a little later/Rest of y’all, I treat you like you never made it/Leave your label devastated/Even when you pad the stats, period, I never hated/Even when you stab me in the back, the vest is metal-plated/Tryna see a B inside my circle like I’m gettin’ graded/Man, all this luggage in the lobby like I’m gettin’ traded/Every time you need me for a boost, I never hesitated/Every time that Yeezy called a truce, he had my head inflated/Thinkin’ we gon’ finally peace it up and get to levitatin’/Realize that everything premeditated/Everyone was good with me, then everyone expression faded,” he snipes.

Ye also gets heat on “Stories About My Brother” where Drake clowns the artist for walking about barefoot. Joe Budden also catches a bar when Drizzy asserts that, “you not Kobe Bryant to us.” The shot could be easily applied to Ye for his verse in ScHoolboy Q’s “THat Part,” where he compared himself to the late legend. However, when clowning Budden, Drake previously referenced Golden State Warriors Draymond Green’s comments towards former NBA player Paul Pierce, ridiculing him for “thinking he was Kobe.” In October, Drizzy typed to his Instagram Story in response to Budden, “You thought you was Kobe [Bryant].” 

The Take Care rapper then leans into his vitriol aimed at Joe on the same song. “Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition/Same story every time, they heckle in repetition/I’m top of the mountain, these ni**as still down at base camp, they planning they expedition,” he continues on “Stories About My Brother.”

“The Shoe Fits” finds Drizzy taking aim at self-proclaimed independent women who trash him online. He called out their apparent hypocrisy and joked on their self-righteousness. Later in the song, he even finds time to send a stray at Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden.

“To all the super triggered women talkin’ down on me/Relax, drink some water, act like you somebody daughter,” he begins. “Can’t get a tan from your phone light/Baby, it’s late June, open the blinds, get out The Shade Room/Maybe you could stop gettin’ involved in some sh*t when you not involved/Or maybe you go for a walk somewhere that is not a mall/What’s your baby’s shoe size? Could tell by the laces, they tight/Aw, you only focus on the steps that I’m taking in life/And then you got the ones who claim a guy that’s everyone’s ni**a/Leave for a month to Colombia and now everything bigger.”

Drake hits Pusha T with a slight jab on “Wick Man.” The Alchemist-produced beat powers Drake’s continued malice toward his nemesis, where he claims Pusha’s grinding has left him “broke as f**k.” He also mentions Pusha’s infamous “The Story of Adidon” diss where he rapped about 40’s multiple sclerosis disease.

“OVO 40, hunched over like he 80—tick, tick, tick/ How much time he got? That man is sick, sick, sick,” Push rapped. “Man, I remember ni**as was joking ’bout some tick, tick/ And now that rapper broke as f**k, that boy a statistic,” Drake clapped back.

Pharrell catches a stray on the J. Cole-assisted “Evil Ways.” The Her Loss artist references buying P’s iconic chains and asserted that they aren’t worth as much as Pharrell initially claimed. “Bought this ni**a jewels, these sh*ts is light, let’s get it reappraised/I bet you see the price and you gon’ be amazed/And broski didn’t do it, he like a piece of art, judge, he was framed,” he alleged.
