Pusha T Reveals That He Found Out About Drake’s Secret Child Through Drizzy’s Producer 40 Not Kanye

Ever since Drake talked about the beef between he and Pusha T on LeBron James‘ HBO series “The Shop,” it’s been a hot topic both on and offline.  

And now that chatter is likely to increase since Pusha revealed how he found out about Drake’s secret lovechild. The Virginia rapper used that hidden piece of information in his diss song to Drake “The Story of Adidon.”

At first, a lot of people blamed Kanye West for leaking the baby news, but Pusha said he received it from Drizzy’s producer and longtime friend Noah “40” Shebib.

“The information came from 40. It didn’t come from Kanye at all,” said Pusha on “The Joe Budden Podcast.” “40 is sleeping with a woman, who begins to . . . He talks to her daily. Five, six hours a day . . . And ultimately speaks about how he’s disgruntled about certain things, notoriety and things involving Drake and his career and so on.”

“With that also came the fact that Drake has a child,” continued Push. “With that also came the trip that everybody took to go see the child and bring him gifts and all this information. She divulged this information. That’s where it came from.”

During Drake’s interview with LeBron, he talked about “The Story of Adidon” diss and said Pusha crossed a line when he made light of Shebib having Multiple Sclerosis. He also said it’s something the former Clipse member should be punched in the face for.

“Only reason I’m here now, for real for real, is because [Drake] was so passionate about the MS thing,” Pusha told Joe in response. “And they did the backlight and they put the spotlight on his face, ‘When you said my friend,’ but your friend is the reason why. That’s how it came about. That narrative’s gotta die. Listen, it needs to die. It’s done. That narrative is done.”

Afterward, people responded to Pusha’s interview

“So not only did Drake lose the diss track war, he just lost the interview war,” someone wrote.

“I think it’s weak Drake’s only interview after this whole thing with his baby, Pusha, the blackface photo, the scorpion album, is such a softball interview,” wrote another. “He wasn’t asked real questions. Drake put out a propaganda interview with LeBron. Drake is scared of a real interview.”

“Push literally treating this like a game of chess,” another person commented. “He knows Drake is super paranoid and suspicious about the people around him. Push playing Drake like a drum.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
