Pusha T's "The Story of Adidon" Explained | Song Stories

TIA: Pusha T’s diss track “The Story of Adidon” threw some major shots back at Drake after Drake’s own diss, "Duppy Freestyle." Pusha raps over the beat from JAY-Z’s “The Story of OJ,” and the track’s name is a callback to Hov’s original as well. TIA: Pusha flips two of Drake’s songs in his verse to mock him, first is his “Look Alive,” collab with BlocBoy JB and then his 2011 feature on DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One." He also throws shots at Birdman’s money troubles involving Lil Wayne and his label, Young Money, home to Drake. TIA: Drake mentioned Pusha’s fiancee Virginia Williams on his “Duppy Freestyle.” So Pusha shot back by noting that Drake’s parents split when he was five but his dad has come back into his life, while his mom Sandi, who Drake adores, remains single. DRAKE: Afro’s supposed to be big, it’s supposed to be like a nice sphere, and then it's supposed to end. My joint never really ended. TIA: The track’s infamous cover photo is a picture of Drake in blackface by photographer David Leyes. TIA: Pusha goes on to name drop the Instagram handle of Sophie Brussaux, the woman with whom Drake allegedly has a child, though the rapper has denied it. TIA: The track’s title is a mix of the name Adonis, the son Pusha claims Drake is hiding, and Adidon, the name of the Adidas line Drake is rumored to drop sometime in 2018. PUSHA T: The child allegedly his new line on Adidas is called Adidon. Which is named after Adonis, his son. TIA: The three hearses Pusha’s mentioning are for Drake, Lil Wayne, and Birdman, after Drizzy told Wayne and Baby he’d take care of Push on “Duppy.” TIA: Pusha also points out that the only rappers he runs behind are dead icons, presumably Biggie and Tupac. TIA: Noah ‘40’ Shebib, an OVO producer and one of Drake’s closest friends, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. 40 seemed to respond to Pusha’s mention, tweeting about World MS Day just hours after the track dropped. Drake also released “I’m Upset” the day after “Duppy” and tried to veer away from the Pusha beef. But Push doesn’t seem to be letting anything go, telling Vulture, quote: TIA: I’m Tia with Genius News bringing you the meaning and the knowledge behind the music.
