Despite the beef being over… or paused, there’s still people in Toronto holding a grudge over the Pusha T and Drake feud.
Pusha T was in Toronto for the lone Canadian date on The Daytona Tour Part 2, with the concert starting around 7:00 p.m. inside Danforth Music Hall. There was roughly 1400 people in attendance. While running through his set list, a group of men threw drinks at Pusha T and attempted to rush the stage, causing a brawl to breakout. From the videos circulating, you can see another man in attendance was a victim of assault, not Pusha T as originally reported.

Global has reported that three people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“Videos posted to social media appeared to show a group of people hurling drinks at a performer, before a group them tried to rush the stage and a fight broke out.”
DJ Vlad posted an update on the situation based on information Pusha T provided The Shade Room.
“The video initially circulating social media had fans wondering whether Pusha T was jumped during a recent performance in Toronto. Pusha T confirmed with The Shade Room that he was untouched during the melee that ensued after a fan attempted to attack him on stage. He went on to perform a few more songs before police shut down the show.”
The show lasted 40 minutes.
The feud between Pusha T and Drake ignited after the Virginia-born rapper took shots at the 6 God on the track “Infrared.” Drake responded with the “Duppy Freestyle” and Pusha T replied to that with “The Story of Adidon.” The beef was officially squashed several weeks later.
It was actually Pusha’s decision to perform “Infrared” that lead to the drama.
“Crowd-shot video shows liquid being sprayed as the audience disperses, with a group of people rushing the stage as the beat to ‘M.F.T.R.’ is cut short by the DJ.” – Exclaim!
The Star spoke with a concert attendee about how it started: “Attendee Dhruv Bhatt said that the attackers started throwing beers at Pusha T while he was performing a song called “Infrared” in which he accuses Drake of using ghostwriters.”
The Star also reported that Pusha has giving his anti-Drake campaign some presence on tour: “Last week, a screen with the words ‘F– Drake’ flashed behind Pusha T during a performance on Nov. 10 in Los Angeles.”
