Meanwhile, Pusha T claimed on Twitter Thursday, May 31, that Drake spent $100,000 to dig up dirt on him that doesn’t actually exist.

If there’s one major take away from “The Story of Adidon” it’s that Pusha T not only knows how to investigate, he’s masterful at spilling the tea – the blackface picture tells it all.
