The ‘Alfredo’ rap star said he actually loves the people he’s beefing with because their issues will never get to a serious point.

Drake is welcoming Pusha T to Canada.

The OVO rapper has seemingly responded to a report that Pusha T was banned from entering his home country following their infamous feud.

Over the weekend, OVO Chubbs shared a photo of Drake and his OVO squad, with a caption that seemed to reference Pusha’s supposed ban.

“We Don’t Ban Ni**az We Welcome Them With Open Arms,” Chubbs wrote.

Drake responded in the comments with the laughing face emoji and what appeared to be an invitation to his rival. “ come on over,” he said.

In his interview with REVOLT’s “Drink Champs” earlier this month, Pusha claimed that he was banned from Canada as a result of his 2018 show in Toronto where a fight broke out. “I’m banned from Canada. I can’t get back over there,” said Pusha. “I ain’t allowed to go back over there.”

During the concert at Danforth Music Hall, multiple people tried to rush the stage and throw beer at Pusha, who was beefing with Drake at the time. A man was reportedly hospitalized with stab wounds after the incident. “I went to my show, it was rowdy people at the show,” he told N.O.R.E.

While he’s moved on, Pusha made it clear that he has no interest in reconciling with Drake. “There’s nothing for me to squash. I’ve done it all. I’m finished,” he said.

The 6 God allegedly has Canadian customs in a headlock.

Gunna could be behind bars until next year.

On Monday, a judge in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia denied the “pushin P” rapper bond following his RICO indictment and set his trial date for January 2023.

According to Billboard, prosecutors allege that Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, is a “documented” member of the alleged YSL gang. They also allege that he and Young Thug can “direct their troops” to commit violent acts.

“They are the ones directing the violence,” claimed one prosecutor from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. “They direct their troops.”

Gunna’s trial is slated for Jan. 9, 2023. At the court hearing, a judge said his biggest concern was witness intimidation if the rapper was released on bond. Gunna and his legal team can file a renewed motion for bond at a later date.

“The court was obviously concerned about threats and intimidation of witnesses,” Gunna’s attorney Steven Sadow told Billboard. “We believe when the court hears evidence, not just the words of the prosecutor, it will find that Sergio’s release on bond will not, directly or indirectly, pose a significant risk to witnesses. We look forward to having an evidentiary hearing on this as soon as the court permits.”

Young Thug, who was previously denied bond, was also scheduled to go before a judge on Monday, but his hearing was postponed.

The YSL rappers were named in an 88-page indictment against dozens of members of Young Slime Life, which includes charges ranging from drug and gun possession to murder.

Both rappers are accused of possession and intent to sell a variety of narcotics, receiving stolen property, and for general street gang activity. Additionally, they were charged with being part of a larger criminal enterprise comprised of YSL associates who were allegedly involved in a series of crimes, including the attempted murder of YFN Lucci.
