Pusha T

Pusha T joins the chat.
 
Drake has been trending lately as it seems some of his previous friendships are no longer. The Canadian rapper, however, is no stranger to rap beef.
 
We&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/kendrick-lamar-seemingly-take-shots-at-drake-and-j-cole-in-new-song">previously reported</a>&nbsp;that Kendrick Lamar joined&nbsp;Future and Metro Boomin on their new album&nbsp;We Don&rsquo;t Trust You.&nbsp;In his verse on the single "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9bKBAA22Go">Like That</a>", he gave the internet something they were not expecting as he raps, &ldquo;Yeah, get up with me, f*ck sneak dissing/&rsquo;First Person Shooter,&rsquo; I hope they came with three switches,&rdquo; on the single &ldquo;Like That&rdquo; taking direct shots at Drake and J. Cole.
 
&ldquo;Think I won&rsquo;t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Motherfuck the Big 3, n***a, it&rsquo;s just big me&rdquo; dissing J. Cole as he rapped, &ldquo;Love when they argue the hardest MC/Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?&rdquo;
 
&ldquo;We the big three like we started a league, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali&rdquo; rapped Cole on Drake&rsquo;s chart-topping single,&nbsp;First Person Shooter.&nbsp;Obviously- Kendrick disagreed.

Although Pusha T is not directly involved in the "beef" this time, he is still somehow being mentioned. Over on X, a fan shares, "I just wanted to point out that after all these years of mob talk from Drake, nobody ever laid a finger on @pusha_t.."
 
Push replies, "Not a pinky nail&hellip;"

Uncle Luke’s Take On Diddy’s Raid And Kanye West’s Controversial Remarks

Lizzo

<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/lizzo-wants-to-be-a-supermodel-instead-of-a-singer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lizzo</a> is clarifying remarks she made about quitting her music career, causing a stir on social media.
 
On Tuesday (April 2), the 'About Damn Time' singer revisited her comments, prompted by an outpouring of support from fans, who urged her to reconsider.
 
&ldquo;I wanted to make this video because I just need to clarify when I say &lsquo;I quit,&rsquo; I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention,&rdquo; Lizzo begins in a new video shared on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5RWyNRvD91/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>. &ldquo;What I&rsquo;m not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music and connecting to people. And I know I&rsquo;m not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person experiencing that negative voice that&rsquo;s louder than the positive.&rdquo;
 
She continued, &ldquo;If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people, negative comments win then I&rsquo;ve done even more than Icould&rsquo;ve hoped for. I&rsquo;m going to keep moving forward and keep being me.&rdquo;
 
Check out her latest statement below.

We previously reported that the Detroit-bred entertainer shocked fans following what appeared to be a retirement announcement. On Friday (March 29), amid her ongoing,<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/lizzo-sexual-assault-lawsuit-put-on-ice-by-california-judge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;jaw-dropping sexual assault and harassment lawsuit</a> aired her grievances online, prompting her to take a step back from the music industry.
 
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting tired of putting up with getting dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet,&rdquo; she begins in&nbsp;the statement.
 
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout &amp; views &hellip; being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look &hellip; my character being picked apart by people who don&rsquo;t know me and disrespecting my name.&rdquo;
 
&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t sign up for this shit &ndash; I QUIT,&rdquo; she declared.
 
Last August, Lizzo was sued by three former backup dancers &mdash; Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez &mdash; alleging a &ldquo;toxic work environment.&rdquo;
 
Despite the case being temporarily stayed, she's vigorously maintained her innocence, challenging a January ruling that denied her motion to dismiss.
