The Story Of Adidon

Drake Gets A Double Helping Of Pain With “Story Of Adidon” x “6:16 In LA” Mashup

by

Drake should probably stay offline for the next few hours, lest he find a jump scare with two of his rap beef rivals “teaming up.” Moreover, a new mashup of Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks against him, “The Story Of Adidon” and “6:16 In LA” respectively, has hit the Internet, and The Boy’s haters are loving it. Of course, this is unofficial and is just an example of a fan having fun with these disses, but it does open up the convo around Push and K.Dot’s beefs once again. Many felt that the latter carried the former’s torch forward, whereas others expressed disappointment with their similar angles.

Furthermore, this comes as folks like DJ Akademiks expressed their belief that Kendrick Lamar is “milking” this Drake beef too much. “So my last thoughts on this is a pathetic attempt, I believe, by pgLang and TDE to try to bait Drake out,” DJ Akademiks posited. “Talking about ‘redemption is not off the table.’ N***a, listen, call me the spokesperson for Drake or OVO, but I can tell you, n***a. Drake is gonna drop amazing music, it’s gonna be good. If you think he gon’ keep going back and forth with that n***a calling him a pedophile and lying, he’s not. So move on, hurry along, and y’all go drop y’all music. See you n***as on the f***ing charts. That’s it, okay? That’s it. There’s no more conversation, that’s it.”

Kendrick Lamar & Pusha T’s Drake Diss Tracks Are A Match Made In Heaven

Regardless, this is one of many mashups involving Drake disses these days, and they probably won’t slow down anytime soon. It also comes amid new music rumors for both Kendrick Lamar and Drizzy, whereas Pusha T has also teased new material in the last few months. Whether the Toronto superstar chooses to go for a round two or not is a mystery, but it seems quite unlikely. If OVO waits out the storm, then pgLang will be the one to tire folks out first.

But that camp will also always have the joy of trolling Drake over his losses, which is exactly what mashups like these create online. Even if Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T never talked about him again, these connections entrench them in history too deeply. We doubt that either “The Story Of Adidion” or “6:16 In LA” will ever truly take the 6ix God down. But they sure do sound great together.

Drake Kids: Does The Rap Megastar Have Any?

by

As one of the biggest pop superstars in the modern world, Drake has made no secret of his many sexual exploits. The “First Person Shooter” rapper has stated numerous times in his lyrics that he enjoys casual hookups with great frequency. This musical content has led many fans to wonder if Drake has numerous kids as a result of his lifestyle. As far as the public knows, Drake is the father of only one child named Adonis Graham. Adonis’s existence was revealed to the public during a 2018 rap beef, which saw Drake verbally sparring with rap legend Pusha T. Since then, Drake’s kid has gone on to share the spotlight with his famous dad and even release his music.

Adonis Was Born In October 2017

Drake’s one and only kid was born to former pornography star Sophie Brussaux in 2017. When first confronted with the reality of fatherhood, Drake allegedly denied paternity claims over Adonis before ultimately coming to terms with his new role as a dad. The specific details of Drake’s acceptance of his son are quite murky. According to some fans and insiders, it seemed like Drake was a deadbeat dad until Pusha T revealed his son to the world. Others have argued that Drake was present in Adonis’s life before the rap feud.

Drake defended himself against claims that he had been absent in his kid’s life on the 2018 track “Emotionless.” In the song, Drake elucidates, “Look at the way we live. I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid.” Drake also claims that he planned to reveal Adonis to the world as part of a partnership with Adidas back in 2018, though Pusha T ultimately spoiled the surprise.

Pusha T Name-Dropped Adonis On Wax

In May 2018, Pusha T released the earth-shattering diss record “The Story Of Adidon.” The track, which makes use of the instrumental from Jay-Z’s “The Story Of OJ,” is a direct response to Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle,” which name-dropped Pusha T’s at-the-time fiancée. “The Story Of Adidon” revealed a wide array of explosive secrets, though the biggest saw Push referring to Drake as a deadbeat dad, and revealing the identity of Adonis and his mother.

On the track, Pusha T raps, “A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap / We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts / You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat mothaf***er playin’ border patrol / Adonis is your son, and he deserves more than an Adidas press run.” Drake never formally responded to this track, though he has gone on to publicly acknowledge his kid’s existence since “The Story Of Adidon” dropped.

Adonis Has His Own Song Now

Regardless of Drake’s previous alleged experience with his son, he is now a loving father, frequently seen co-parenting in Sophie Brussaux’s social media posts. Sophie has referred to Drake as an amazing father over the years. Adonis has been seen tagging along with the rap superstar at sporting events, music video shoots, and other public outings. In 2023, Adonis took a hands-on role with his father’s music, drawing the cover art for Drake’s For All The Dogs album.

Additionally, Adonis has released his own song, titled “My Man Freestyle,” which showcases the six-year-old boy rapping a stream of consciousness about sports, his dad, and accidentally breaking his iPad. The music video for “My Man Freestyle” prominently features Drake, standing by as a proud dad while his son plays youth basketball with a gang of friends.

Drake & Pusha T’s Beef: A Timeline Of Disses

Drake dropped his new album, Scary Hours 3, today — leaving fans wondering if he had thrown any new shots toward Pusha T, as the two have had a documented feud that spans over a decade.

Things don’t seem to have died down and Drake does, quoting one of Pusha’s former diss tracks toward him on his new song, “Wick Man.”

Here’s a timeline of the disses that have happened between the two rappers, for those who might need a refresher.

Back in 2012, Pusha T dissed Drake on his song “Exodus 23:1,” with the latter offering a response on “Tuscan Leather” the next year.

However, things didn’t end there. In 2016, Pusha used “HGTV Freestyle” to accuse Drake of using a ghostwriter on his songs.

By 2018, things seemed to reach a peak when it comes to tension between the two. Not even 24 hours after Pusha dropped his Daytona album, Drake put out a “Duppy Freestyle” to point out that his nemesis’ career is faded.

“I had a microphone of yours, but then the signature faded / I think that pretty much resembles what’s been happenin’ lately,” Drake said.

Pusha quickly snapped back by revealing that Drake had a son and dubbed him a “deadbeat” on “The Story Of Adidon.”

Later that year, Drake and Pusha T both do separate interview appearances where they discuss the reveal of Drake’s kid. By the end of 2019, Drake also sat down with Rap Radar, where he called his feud with Pusha his “first loss in the competitive sport of rapping.”

Even with Drake seemingly admitting defeat, he and Pusha T keep throwing musical jabs at one another — so it’s not likely to stop any time soon.

Pusha T Used “The Story Of O.J.” Beat Even Though No I.D. Asked Him Not To

by

No I.D. is a producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in all of hip-hop. That’s why when he recently sat down with Stereogum to reflect on his career’s worth of beats there was plenty to choose from. He discussed songs he made with Killer Mike, Big Sean, Common, Kanye West and more. He also discussed Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed 2017 album 4:44 which he produced the entirety of. They honed in particularly on the beat for “The Story Of O.J.” which has become just as well known for a different song entirely.

That song is “The Story Of Adidon” one of the most legendary rap diss tracks in recent memory. In the song Pusha T took aim at Drake, revealing to the world that he was hiding a secret child while using an offensive picture of him in black face as an album cover. No I.D. revealed that Push asked for his permission to use the beat, but he declined. “I told his manager, Steven Victor, he called me about it. And I was like, ‘No, that’s not even the spirit of the song, bro. Why would you pick that one?’ That wasn’t lack of love for him and what he was doing and his art. It was just, again, there’s times I don’t wanna be involved in certain things, because it’s not me.” Check out the full article below.

No I.D. Didn’t Want Pusha T Using His Instrumental To Diss Drake

Pusha T hasn’t slowed down dropping new music recently. Last year he dropped the album It’s Almost Dry. The album had features from Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Uzi Vert, Kid Cudi and more. Just last week he popped up in a strange place. He and Chad Hugo participated in a remix of French synth-pop band Phoenix‘s song “All Eyes On Me.”

Push is also still getting play out of his older records as well. He released a line of 10th anniversary merch for his 2013 album My Name Is My Name earlier this month. What do you think of Pusha T using No I.D.’s beat for “The Story Of Adidon” against the producers wishes? Let us know in the comment section below.

No I.D. Says He Asked Pusha T to Not Record His Drake Diss Over “The Story of OJ”

Five years ago, Pusha T set his sights on Drake, unleashing “The Story of Adidon,” a scathing diss track that revealed Drake was “hiding a child.” Flash forward to today, Pusha and Drake didn’t make up like The Boy did with Meek Mill; in fact, it feels like their beef can erupt again at any time.

Speaking on the historic diss is No I.D., who made the “Adidon” beat, but it originally served as the score for JAY-Z’s “The Story of OJ.” Speaking with Stereogum, No I.D. revealed that he told King Push not to use the beat for the diss, but he did it anyway.

“I told [Pusha T], don’t do it, and he did it anyway,” No I.D. said. “I told his manager, Steven Victor, he called me about it. And I was like no, that’s not even the spirit of the song, bro, why would you pick that one? That wasn’t lack of love for him and what he was doing and his art. It was just, again, there’s times I don’t wanna be involved in certain things, because it’s not me.”

Ebro Darden Says Pusha T’s “The Story Of Adidon” Limits Drake’s Legacy

by

Ebro Darden says that Drake’s loss during his feud with Pusha T permanently damaged his legacy as one of the all-time greats. The radio host shared his opinion on Twitter while marking the five-year anniversary of “The Story Of Adidon.” On the iconic diss track, Pusha revealed that Drake has a son named Adonis.

“Major L … shifted the universe,” Ebro wrote in his post. “Put a ceiling on Drake’s legend.” Fans took both sides of the argument in Ebro’s replies. One agreed: “Drake should have responded…He needed to respond the way he always used to, similar to the way he responded to Meek and others. He low key folded in one of the biggest moments and as a Drake fan it’s a tough pill to swallow but it’s true.”

Others argued that Drake’s success far outweighs the loss of one battle. “Push obviously crushed him on wax, but his legend? Drake has put out 4-5 albums since then and still came out #1 on charts and people still listening,” another user wrote. “Push on the other hand dropped a couple and they’re never in rotation tbh. Push is a legend but this isn’t true.”

Pusha T dropped “The Story of Adidon” back in May 2018 in response to Drake’s diss track, “Duppy Freestyle.” The song reuses the instrumental track from Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” Drake later officially confirmed he had a son on his album, Scorpion.

Ebro On “The Story Of Adidon”

After the release of “The Story of Adidon,” Drake appeared on LeBron James’ series, The Shop, and said that Pusha T went too far. “Wishing death upon my friend who has MS … I study rap battles for a living,” he said. “When you mention defenseless people who are sick in the hospital, who have passed away, I just believe that there’s a price you have to pay for that. It’s over! Someone’s gonna fucking punch you in the fucking face. The shit’s done, the event’s over.”
