Pusha T: Naw, I never referenced Drake. I never referenced anybody in particular on that track. Never. That’s not what happened. People have turned it into the "Drake Diss." People have taken apart the verses and started to put the lines with rappers they think are targets or whatever, and that wasn’t the case. Like, that’s not what this is at all. So I just sit back and I watch it. But it ain’t nothing to me, man.
I watched the same thing happen when Drake put out his version of it. I actually love what Drake did on it initially, that’s why I did it. And Drake said something in regards to, “My favorite rappers either lost it or they’re not alive.” And everybody was trying to put together at the time, “Man, who lost it?” or “Who are his favorite rappers?” People are getting caught up on the original and on mine and who’s calling out who. But it’s just amazing music. And just as a rapper, I’m listening to everybody getting in their cocky stance. Like when you hear my verses, that’s me saying, “Ain’t nobody fucking with me,” and I really feel like that.
I love where Hip Hop is right now because I feel like everybody’s rapping, everyone. And I don’t want people to cheapen the “Don’t Fuck With Me” freestyle and say it’s a diss to somebody like I’m sniping. I’m way too good for that. I’m way too good to do some old crazy shit, like, at least let me have an album coming out tomorrow! [Laughs] You know? Don’t do me like that, don’t cheapen my work. It was just me gettin’ in my bag, and when I say gettin’ in my bag I mean really just getting into my cocky rapper competitive spirit. I feel like everybody does it man. Like I said, I watched the same thing happen when he put his version out, so it is what it is.
DX: I completely understand that. I think the one part of the song that people latched onto when it came to the whole "Drake/Pusha T" friction was the line where you say, “The swag don’t match the sweaters.” Now, Drake has been infamous for wearing, well I wouldn’t say flamboyant, but definitely his own style of clothing. They felt that was in some way, shape or form toward Drake.
Pusha T: And that’s crazy because the last time I seen Drake he was at the Billboard Awards and wearing some type of high fashion suit. I don’t really know Drake’s dress code like that, man.
DX: So for the record, Drake was not referenced.
Pusha T: Not Drake, not Drake. Not [Lil] Wayne, I heard it was Wayne, I heard it was J. Cole. Like I heard so many different people man, I’m not shootin’ man. Matter of fact, I don’t want to shoot anybody that’s making good music, okay. The few motherfuckers who ain’t making good music, I’ll shoot them. But not the ones making good music.
