Hip-Hop fans have been buzzing with speculation after an apparent ‘salamander’ bot campaign targeted Pusha T on Twitter.
Why fans think Drake was behind the Pusha T ‘salamander’ bot campaign
The tweets, which started surfacing in response to a tweet about Yeat and Lil Uzi Vert’s song Flawless being certified Gold by the RIAA, contained bizarre and negative claims about the acclaimed rapper Pusha T.
Some fans are now convinced that Drake, with whom Pusha T has a well-documented history of feuding, might be involved in this unexpected wave of negativity.
The Mysterious Bot Campaign
Accounts exhibiting bot-like behaviour flooded Twitter with tweets referencing Pusha T, many of which contained strangely specific and derogatory remarks about the artist.
These tweets garnered attention beyond the original post, raising suspicion about a coordinated campaign against Pusha T.
Some tweets even went as far as claiming that Pusha T collects salamanders and impregnates them during the summer, adding to the bizarre nature of the campaign.
Drake’s History with Pusha T
Drake and Pusha T have a long-standing feud in the hip-hop community, with diss tracks and public jabs exchanged between the two artists in the past.
This history has led some fans to speculate that Drake may be behind the bot campaign as a way to take a dig at his rival.
No Response from Drake or Pusha T
As of now, neither Drake nor Pusha T has publicly responded to the speculations about the bot campaign.
It remains uncertain whether there is any truth to the rumours connecting Drake to the sudden surge of negative tweets directed at Pusha T.
Pusha T’s Reflection on the Feud
In December 2022, Pusha T acknowledged the peak of his feud with Drake in 2018. He revealed in an interview with XXL that he is no longer interested in the ongoing feud and is moving on from past issues.
Despite this, perceived “subliminals” in Drake’s songs have continued to fuel rumours about lingering tensions between the two artists.
“Every time I hear a subliminal in one of his songs, it just lets me know how deep it hurt him,” he said at the time
Focus on Pusha T and Jim Jones Feud
In more recent news, Pusha T has been embroiled in a back-and-forth with Jim Jones.
The dispute began when Jones questioned Pusha’s position among the “greatest rappers of all time.” The ongoing feud between these two artists has captured the attention of fans and the hip-hop community.
