“Tell ’Ye we got an invoice comin’ to you”

On his new Daytona album, Pusha-T seems to take aim at Drake and his alleged use of ghostwriters. “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,” Pusha raps on “Infared.” Now, Drake has responded with a new song. Entitled “Duppy Freestyle,” the track features Drake firing shots at Pusha-T, Kanye West, and their G.O.O.D. Music label.

Drake starts out “Duppy Freestyle” by calling out Pusha-T and Kanye. “If you rebuke me for working with someone else on a couple of V’s, what do you really think of the nigga that’s making your beats?/I’ve done things for him, I thought that he never would need/Father had to stretch his hands out and get it for me,” he raps.

Later on, Drake calls out Kanye by name: “Tell ’Ye we got an invoice comin’ to you/Considering we just sold another 20 for you.” Elsewhere in the freestyle, he comments on their G.O.O.D. Music label (“You’re not even top 5, as far as your label talent goes”) and takes personal hits against Pusha (“You might've sold some college kids some Nikes and Mercedes/But you act like you sold drugs for Escobar in the 80's”). He also criticizes the two for allegedly not supporting Virgil Abloh (“I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back, ‘cause he makes me nervous/...You niggas leeches and serpents”). Listen below.

“Duppy Freestyle” follows his latest singles “Nice For What,” “God’s Plan” and “Diplomatic Immunity.” His forthcoming album, reportedly titled Scorpion, is slated to arrive in June. He’s set to go on tour with Migos starting in July.

Drake recently hopped on Atlanta rapper Lil Baby’s song “Yes Indeed.” Earlier this year, he tapped some serious female star power for “Nice For What”’s music video, and gave away one million dollars in the heartwarming visual for “God’s Plan.” He called the latter “the most important thing I have ever done in my career.”
