Remember when Pusha T and Drake were beefing two years back? With all that's gone on in the world, it feels like ages ago.
Drake's main man Noah "40" Shebib remembers because he was collateral damage when Push referenced 40's multiple sclerosis in his classic Drake diss "The Story Of Adidon."
"OVO 40, hunched over like he 80, tick, tick, tick
How much time he got? That man is sick, sick, sick," Push rapped.
At the time, 40 said nothing about Push and simply posted a link to an MS awareness site. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, he speaks on the Good Music president's cruel bars and says he does think Push crossed a line.
“Like sh*t, for sure. Like sh*t,” he says when asked how the line made him feel. “Ultimately, I like turning things into positive situations or brighter sides. And if that brings awareness to my disease on a bigger level, I was happy about that. That’s what I used it for. That ultimately is a good thing for me. I like that transaction we had from that perspective. I’m very vocal about it.” When asked if a line was crossed, 40 replies, “Of course. That was something different than a bar in a song. That’s cool, I barely know that guy.”
As for his MS, it's taking a huge toll on the 37-year-old.
"I crashed and burned on the last [Drake] tour at one point after a show," he said. "You could’ve cut me open with a razor blade, I would have no idea. ... They wheeled me out of there in a wheelchair and I was at the hospital. Went back this summer for the first time in 10 years. I went to go see the doctors. I went and got an MRI. ... [The doctors] were not happy. Everybody said, ‘You fucked up. You lost 10 years, bro. What are you doing? Get on the f*cking drugs, right now. ... They said about a third of my brain’s dead at this juncture."
