Pusha T vs Drake and Drake's mystery baby
King Push and Drizzy had traded jabs with each other subliminally for years. However in 2018 things really popped off with them and created one of the biggest rap/personal beef of the year. Pusha T rapped about Drake hiding a baby in one of his diss which ultimately lead to research of Drake's baby mom and Aubrey admitting to having a son.
