Drake is so shook from Pusha T’s “Story of Adidon” diss track in which he was called out for wearing blackface and having a secret child, that he could only respond via an Instagram post.

“I know everyone is enjoying the circus but I want to clarify this image in question. This was not from a clothing brand shoot or my music career. This picture is from 2007, a time in my lie where I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast. The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.”
He didn’t even put this up on his main Instagram. It was part of Instagram stories. Drake is famous for his quick responses to any shot taken at him. This was the best he could do after Pusha’s track. A notes message on Instagram stories.
Pusha T wasn’t feeling his response. In an interview with LA REAL 92.3, he said, “You are silent on all black issues, Drake. You don’t stand for nothing, you don’t say nothing about nothing.” He added, “You have all the platform in the world. You were so passionate back then? No you weren’t. That’s number one. That’s what I know.”
While Drake is still trying to come up with a clever response, the internet didn’t let up.
Drake, you black. You don’t have to explain any blackface photos. I just want the bars. pic.twitter.com/TYhRy79OXz

If Drake really is the 6 God, he’ll rise tomorrow (the third day) with some fire. Otherwise, this is over.
