The Story Of Adidon

The Story Of Adidon is a song by US american rapper Pusha T and was released in May 2018 on his SoundCloud account. The song was the musical response to Drakes song Duppy Freestyle.

Background
The feud between Drake and Pusha T's former musical project Clipse began back in 2011. The zenith of this came in 2018 after Pusha T refreshed the feud in 2016 accusing Drake consulted a ghostwriter for his track H.G.T.V. Freestyle. Drake dissed back with Two Birds, One Stone which is also addressed to Kid Cudi in check for throwing shade at him.

In 2018, Pusha T repeated his accusations of Drake and his ghostwriter in his track Infrared. Quentin Miller is believed to be the ghostwriter of Drakes diss track. Miller never responded to this. Drakes last answer so far was the Duppy Freestyle which resulted in a new musical response by Pusha T named The Story of Adidon.

Production
Adidon is a portmanteau of the alleged name of Drake's child “Adonis” with “Adidas” and revealed Drake’s upcoming collaboration with adidas. Drake first doubted to be the father but broke the silence and confirmed it with his fifth studio album Scorpion. In his song Emotionless he stated it as following: “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world I was hidin’ the world from my kid From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate Until you starin’ at your seed, you can never relate.” This also can be seen as a response to Pusha T's latest Drake diss.

The melody was taken from Jay-Z's The Life Of O.J. as well as the track title.

Cover artwork
The cover artwork shows Drake in former years with a black painted face and red painted lips. Drake as well as Pusha T stated the cover photography is real. After doubts about the authenticity of this photo, Pusha T announced on Twitter that he is "not an internet baby" that "edit images". Drakes confirmes that photo was taken back in 2007 when he was an actor and worked on a project "that was about young black actors struggling to get roles". His blackface was to show "how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment".
