However, the beef reached a peak in 2018 when Drake released a freestyle entitled "Duppy." In the track, the 6 God responded to claims that Kanye West made when he said that Drake doesn't write his own rhymes. Ironically, Drake claimed that he wrote raps for West. Pusha T, who is President of Kanye's record imprint G.O.O.D music, responded to Drake. The response was due to Drake hinting that West and friends were the enemies.

Also in the track, he talked about Drake's engineer and longtime friend "40" who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis eluding to how much time he had left to live. Drake Interview That's when Drake humbly bowed out of the war, taking an L. With that loss, Drake compared himself to Nate Diaz in his latest interview with the Hip Hop podcast Rap Radar, hosted by Elliot Wilson by way of Tidal. https://youtu.be/mmsasEoupO4 “Like I said, this is a sport at the end of the day, and you know from a very early point that I’ve never shied away from defending myself," said Drake. " And I’m also sometimes eager to engage if I feel that you want to be slick or be offensive behind the scenes. I might choose to address it in music. And, you know, that was how I ended myself up in the Pusha situation, which, you know, some of my favorite fighters in the world … take a guy like Nate Diaz. You look at his record. It might not look like the craziest record, but he’s still one of my favorite fighters. He’s still a dog." Choosing Sides Basically he is implying that he is still a threat. Even with a loss, he'll still be known as someone not to be messed with. Similar to Nate, who has suffered many defeats in his MMA career but is still known as one of the most popular and durable fighters in the organization.
