Many artists have already given their opinion regarding Drake’s ongoing beef with Pusha T. However, one rapper who appears to have no interest in sharing his thoughts on the matter is the “Nice For What” artist’s alleged ghostwriter, Quentin Miller. In Pusha T’s initial diss track, “Infrared” the rapper referenced Miller and alluded to the ongoing rumor that he writes Drake’s rhymes. “It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin,” the lyrics of the song read. Despite the allegations, Miller told TMZ cameras he has no problem with Drake or Pusha T. The rapper was spotted out in Atlanta on Thursday night, where he was asked if had an opinion on who would come out on top in the rap battle. Rather than directly answer the question, Miller insisted he had love for both Drake and Pusha T. When the videographer attempted to push for a different response, Miller went on to express his support for the two rappers and declared he had love for everyone. Photo: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images Rumors that Miller was Drake’s ghostwriter first arose in 2016 during the “God’s Plan” rapper’s beef with Meek Mill. When the Philadelphia artist tweeted Drake didn’t write his own raps, Miller was eventually identified as the man behind some of his hit songs including “10 Bands.” Miller later denied he was a ghostwriter. Drake responded to Meek’s allegations in his song “Back to Back” at the time, and later acknowledged Pusha T’s reference to the claim in his song, “Duppy Freestyle.” “And as for Q, man, I changed his life a couple times,” Drake rapped in the 2018 diss record. The artist went on to reveal he helped Miller, who was working in a grocery store at the time and allowed him to write on his songs in order to kick-start his music career. Drake has yet to release a song answering all of the allegations in Pusha T’s latest diss track, “The Story of Adidon.” In the song, the Bronx rapper alleges Drake has a secret son named Adonis with former porn star Sophie Brussaux. Although sources close to the “Fake Love” artist have told TMZ he has already recorded a response to the track, it is unclear whether he plans to share it with the world. Drake has not released a song since Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J Prince revealed he has told the 31-year-old not to stoop to the low level of the “Grindin’” rapper, and risk ruining his career as a mainstream artist.

With rhymes covering everything from life in the coke game to working with Kanye West, Diddy, and Nas, it only made sense for us to break down some of the record’s best lines. Over the years, King Push has proven no stranger to calling out industry favorites. Here, the rapper takes shots at Drake’s ghostwriting controversies and the feud between Lil Wayne and Birdman, gives props to Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, and even offers West the chance to explain his MAGA hat. Other topics include Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement, and Meek Mill’s legal circumstances. Before the breakdown, you can listen to the album below. “It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin” It’s no secret that Pusha-T has a strong stance on authenticity, especially when it comes to rappers penning their own lines. On “Infrared,” the rapper takes a shot at Drake, who was called out by Meek Mill for ghostwriting back in 2015. Quentin Miller was identified as the ghostwriter, which he denies. Pusha, in effect, is telling Drake that his bars will never match the greats. “Another multi-platinum rapper trapped and can’t retire” Also on “Infrared,” Push highlights Rick Ross’ diss track “Idols Become Rivals,” which took shots at Birdman and his business dealings at Cash Money. An ongoing feud over pay between Lil Wayne and Birdman has stunted the Southern rapper’s career. “Remember Will Smith won the first Grammy? And they ain’t even recognize Hov until Annie” In 1989, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince became the first hip-hop artists to win a Grammy. The Recording Academy, however, chose not to air the hip-hop segment, causing the pair to boycott the event. Again on “Infrared,” Pusha talks about how hip-hop artists don’t get the recognition they deserve unless working outside of their “domain.” JAY-Z sampling the musical Annie on mega-hit "Hard Knock Life" is a prime example. “I’m top five and all of them Dylan” In the early aughts, Diddy made the reality TV show Making the Band, which gave young hopefuls a chance to sign to Bad Boy Records. In one series, rapper Dylan became a notable figure after comedian Dave Chappelle used the series as part of a skit on Chappelle’s Show. The line, from “What Would Meek Do?” is a reference to both Diddy and Chappelle’s hilarious sketch. “If you ain’t driving while black, do they stop you? Well, MAGA hats let me slide like a drive-thru.” This last one is a Kanye West line, but it’s worth noting nonetheless. On “What Would Meek Do?” West touches upon the viral photo in which he wore a Donald Trump MAGA hat. Here, West addresses the irony of race relations in the U.S., specifically how a black man driving solo is seen as a threat, but when he allies himself to a movement regarded by many as an expression of white nationalism, society will give him a pass.

From being referenced on Pusha’s “Infrared” to recently being ousted by Nicki Minaj on Twitter, the talented songwriter is not letting be known he didn’t ask for any of this and has followed through on his promise of speaking on the subject “once and for all” through a new response track he’s calling, “Destiny (Freestyle).” In the track, you’ll hear Miller attempting to distance himself from the Drake and Pusha T beef rapping: “I don’t even want the crown, I’m just doing me” and adding, “I’m more than just a prop, you know? Or a pawn. I’m a person too, you know? I didn’t ask for none of this.” He also addressed Nicki Minaj’s comments on him and Drake over the weekend in a verse saying: “Nicki goin’ off, she ain’t never met me.” Listen in below.

As the beef between Drake and Pusha T is reaching a fever pitch, following Push’s “The Story Of Adidon” that he unleashed to the world last night, at the center of the feud remains alleged Drake ghostwriter, Quentin Miller. As promised, Quentin is now addressing his involvement with Drizzy, as well as the back and forth between Drake and Pusha, on a new track, “Destiny (Freestyle).” Delivered last night, Miller raps, “I don’t even want the crown, I’m just doing me,” also noting “I’m more than just a prop, you know? Or a pawn. I’m a person too, you know? I didn’t ask for none of this.” In addition to rapping about Drake and Pusha T, Quentin also took the time to shout out his Young Money label mate, Nicki Minaj, adding, “Nicki goin’ off, she ain’t never met me.” All of this arrives as Pusha T recently reignited his ongoing beef with Drake on his new album, Daytona, specifically on “Infrared,” again, as he made mention of Quentin Miller ghostwriting for Drizzy. Following, Drake released his “Duppy Freestyle” and “I’m Upset,” of course taking aim at Push. Last night, however, the G.O.O.D. Music president responded in a major way, as he got extremely personal on the aforementioned “The Story Of Adidon.” How will Drake react? We’ll all have to wait and see.
