In the diss track, Pusha T raps over the instrumental of [[Jay-Z]]'s 2017 song "[[The Story of O.J.]]" from his 13th studio album ''[[4:44 (album)|4:44]]'', which itself features samples from [[Nina Simone]]'s song "[[Four Women (song)|Four Women]]". Pusha T alleges that the rumor that Drake had a child named Adonis with French model and former porn star Sophie Brussaux is true, calling Drake a "deadbeat" who is "hiding a child." Pusha T also attacks Drake's alleged insecurities regarding his own race, and mocks [[OVO Sound]] record producer [[40 (record producer)|40]] for looking frail, which may be due to having [[multiple sclerosis]]. The track received high praise for being vicious and harsh, as well as for revealing Drake had a secret child that he was hiding from the public eye.
