Pharrell Says Pusha T And Drake’s Beef Broke His Heart: ‘I Hated All Of It. Every Bit Of It’

‘I would’ve loved to have heard those guys on a song together or heard a joint project together,’ the musician said in a recent interview. …

Drake and Pusha T’s beef from the summer of 2018 was one of the biggest moments of that year. While most fans were all for the back and forth that ensued between the two rappers, others were disappointed to see things unfold the way that they did. One of those people was Pharrell. The celebrated producer recently stopped by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs podcast and during their three-hour conversation, the Virginia producer revealed that he was not a fan.

“I hate to see what [Pusha] and Drake are going through, or what they went through,” Pharrell said around the 1:11:29 mark of the podcast. “I hated all of it. Every bit of it. It wasn’t good.” He then revealed that he was unaware of Pusha’s strategy for “The Story Of Adidon.” “He knows I would’ve stood in front of him as much as I could, but he’s a different kind of person, he’s a Taurus,” he said. “When you feel like a line is crossed and you take off the gloves, that’s where your brain is at.”

Pharrell added, “It still breaks my heart to this day, because I would’ve loved to have heard those guys on a song together or heard a joint project together. I would’ve loved to twist that,” he said. “By the way, Pusha says Drake’s got bars. When Drake makes something that’s amazing, we talk about it all the time.”

Pharrell was also asked if his relationship with Drake was affected by his close friendship with Pusha. He declined that anything has changed between him and the Toronto rapper, and he revealed that Drake has always had nothing but good things to say about the Virginia native, both in public and in private. “Neither one of them are into problems,” he answered. “They don’t like it and it’s unnecessary but they’re both people when they feel like they’re being pushed to the limit they gotta do what they gotta do.”

The latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast stirred up some intense discussions, which is typical for a show known for its passionate debates and bold opinions. This time, the spotlight was on comedian Andrew Schulz and some controversial jokes he made about rapper Kendrick Lamar. While co-hosts Ice and Emanny thought Schulz’s humor was fair game, Joe Budden strongly disagreed, labeling the comedian’s comments as tasteless and unacceptable. The conversation began with Schulz’s jokes coming into the spotlight. Ice and Emanny defended Schulz by arguing that he makes fun of everyone equally and doesn’t hold back when it comes to any ethnicity or celebrity.

They questioned why Kendrick Lamar should be treated differently if Schulz was joking about various public figures. Joe Budden, known for his straightforward style, quickly opposed Ice’s view. “I’m not letting Ice support that,” he said, clearly frustrated.

Budden emphasized that this comedian walks a fine line between being funny and being disrespectful.

This lively debate highlighted a bigger question in the world of entertainment, where do we draw the line when it comes to humor? Some believe comedians should be free to joke about anything, while others think it’s essential to consider context and history.

Andrew Schulz & Charlamagne Tha God Subtly Fire Back at Joe Budden Over Kendrick Lamar Joke Controversy

HonkMagazine

Andrew Schulz is known for stirring up debate with his comedy, and his recent media appearances have added fuel to the fire. While promoting his new Netflix special, “Life,” he chatted with Charlamagne Tha God on the “Brilliant Idiots” podcast about their careers and how to handle criticism. During the conversation, they threw some shade at Joe Budden, who had previously criticized Schulz for his joke about Kendrick Lamar. Budden was quite vocal about his feelings, suggesting that Schulz should be more cautious about making racial jokes, given his background and the type of jokes he tells.

He pointed out that many people believe Schulz doesn’t face the same scrutiny for his jokes about Black culture as he does for his jokes about Jewish culture. In response, Schulz and Charlamagne appeared to brush off Budden’s comments, highlighting their ability to rise above negativity and focus on their work. Some listeners interpreted this as a direct response to Budden, while others viewed it as a broader statement about dealing with public criticism in the entertainment industry. This situation raises bigger questions about comedy, race, and what boundaries, if any, should exist.

Schulz is known for pushing limits in his comedy, but Budden’s remarks resonate with a lot of people who feel that some groups face harsher jokes than others. It makes you think, where should we draw the line between edgy humor and being offensive? And who gets to make that decision? As the conversation continues, it’s evident that Schulz isn’t letting the backlash affect him much. With “Life” available to stream now, he’s focusing on his work, while Charlamagne, a strong supporter of free speech, stands by him. Whether this discussion sparks more debate or fades away in the media remains to be seen. Schulz isn’t backing down from the spotlight anytime soon.
