Ebro Darden says that Drake's loss during his feud with Pusha T permanently damaged his legacy as one of the all-time greats. The radio host shared his opinion on Twitter while marking the five-year anniversary of "The Story Of Adidon." On the iconic diss track, Pusha revealed that Drake has a son named Adonis.
“Major L … shifted the universe,” Ebro wrote in his post. “Put a ceiling on Drake’s legend.” Fans took both sides of the argument in Ebro's replies. One agreed: “Drake should have responded…He needed to respond the way he always used to, similar to the way he responded to Meek and others. He low key folded in one of the biggest moments and as a Drake fan it’s a tough pill to swallow but it’s true.”

Others argued that Drake's success far outweighs the loss of one battle. “Push obviously crushed him on wax, but his legend? Drake has put out 4-5 albums since then and still came out #1 on charts and people still listening,” another user wrote. “Push on the other hand dropped a couple and they’re never in rotation tbh. Push is a legend but this isn’t true.”
Pusha T dropped "The Story of Adidon" back in May 2018 in response to Drake's diss track, "Duppy Freestyle." The song reuses the instrumental track from Jay-Z's "The Story of O.J." Drake later officially confirmed he had a son on his album, Scorpion.

After the release of "The Story of Adidon," Drake appeared on LeBron James’ series, The Shop, and said that Pusha T went too far. “Wishing death upon my friend who has MS … I study rap battles for a living,” he said. “When you mention defenseless people who are sick in the hospital, who have passed away, I just believe that there’s a price you have to pay for that. It’s over! Someone’s gonna fucking punch you in the fucking face. The shit’s done, the event’s over.”
