Drake has seemingly confirmed that his leaked diss record, “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50),” is real, following speculation regarding its authenticity.
The 6 God took to Instagram late on Saturday (April 13), and shared a photo from the film Kill Bill in which Uma Thurman is surrounded by knife-wielding assassins.
The photo seems to be a reference to the line on “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50),” where he raps: “What the fuck is this, a 20-v-1, n-gga?/ What’s a prince to a king? He a son, n-gga.”
HipHopDX has confirmed that the song was sent out to DJs through a blast service on Saturday which identified it as an official OVO Sound release. A second blast arrived Sunday (April 14) with clean and instrumental versions of the track.
The rapper also shared a screenshot of a text message conversation with his mother, where she asked if he got a nose job.
He replied: “…It’s coming from Rick Ross the guy I did songs with he’s gone loopy off the Mounjaro he hasn’t eaten in days and it’s turned him angry and racist he’s performing at proms for money it’s bad don’t worry we’ll handle it.”

The bar-heavy joint hit the internet on Saturday, and it addresses a number of Drizzy’s ongoing beefs. This includes attacks on Kendrick Lamar in particular, who kickstarted the drama with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin‘s “Like That” last month.
While the voice on said track sounds like the Canadian superstar, it wasn’t entirely clear if it was authentic or generated by artificial intelligence. The subject matter pertained directly to the many beefs the 37-year-old is currently negotiating.
“You better do that motherfuckin’ show inside the bitty/ Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty/ Then we need a verse for the Swifties,”Drake raps, referring to K.Dot’s previous crossovers into pop music.
Additionally, the song also takes shots at J. Cole (who recently withdrew from the war of words) and Rick Ross while suggesting that SZA deserves a spot in the Big 3 more than Kendrick. Later on Saturday, a slightly different version of the song leaked as well.
Earlier this week, prior to the most recent shots fired at him, Joe Budden claimed that Drizzy and K.Dot were both in the process of preparing nuclear diss songs as part of their ongoing beef. On an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast published in early April, the media personality kicked things off by hyping the budding rivalry.
