Drake Targets Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Future, Metro Boomin And More On Leaked Diss “Push Ups”
Drake fired back in a major way Saturday (April 13) after being bombarded with disses from several MCs over the past few weeks. His response, the leaked “Push Ups,” finds the Toronto kid taking shots at the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross and others.
The unofficial release has yet to make its way to streaming services, but thanks to streamer DJ Akademiks, fans thirsting for Drake’s long-awaited response got exactly what they wanted.
Regarding Compton’s K. Dot, who sparked the now weeks-long tension between Drake and others with is “Like That” verse, Drizzy took shots at the rapper’s height, shoe size, and for allegedly being extorted by TDE President Top Dawg. “Extortion baby, whole career you been shook up/ ’Cause Top told you drop and give me 50 like some push-ups (huhh),” the “50” here being 50% of Kendrick’s publishing, though this has not been confirmed.

“Pull your contract ‘cause we gotta see the split, aye/ The way you doing splits, bi**h, your pants might rip/ You better do that muthaf**kin show inside the bitty/ Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty/ Then we need a verse for the Swifties/ Top says drop, you better drop and give him 50,” he added, alluding to Kendrick’s pop collaborations likely being forced upon him by Top.
He also knocks Kendrick out of the previously determined Big 3, arguing 21 Savage, Travis Scott or even SZA has risen above the MC. This resulted in SZA dropping a hilarious meme asking to be left out of the drama between her TDE brethren and her “Rich Baby Daddy” collaborator.

Drake also replied to a recent Future line calling Drizzy his No. 1 fan, with the rapper responding, “I could never be nobody number one fan/ Your first No. 1 I had to put it in your hand.” This refers to Future lacking a No. 1 Hot 100 record until his 2021 Drake collab, “Way 2 Sexy.” As Metro Boomin is a producer, Drake responded to him with the dismissive line, “Metro, shut yo hoe a** up and make some drums, ni**a.”
When it comes Rick Ross, Drake pretty much asks the biggest boss to mind his business after the Florida native laughed at Drake following the release of “Like That.” “I might take your latest girl and cuff her like Ricky/ Can’t believe he’s jumping in, this ni**a turning 50/ Every song that made it on the chart he got from Drizzy.” This resulted in Ross calling Drake a “white boy” and accusing him of getting a nose job, which Drake later addressed via a shared text with his mother.
