Ever since Pusha-T told Drake plainly on “The Story Of Adidon” that he is "hiding a child," we haven't heard a response from the Toronto rapper. Sure we got a statement, but we want actual bars, and it seems like we may just get them on Drake's upcoming album, "Scorpion."
Keep in mind this is purely a theory, but we wanted to read into Drake's recent Instagram Stories post where he posted a photo of infamous former Toronto Maple Leafs bruiser Tie Domi.

This photo was taken during Game 6 of the 2002 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Senators after Domi was checked by Ottawa's Ricard Persson. At the time of the hit, Toronto trailed 2-0 in the game. As a result of Persson's penalty, the Leafs scored two goals during the power play, and ended up winning Game 6, 4-3.
Toronto went on to win the series in Game 7, and Perrson was widely blamed for Ottawa's loss due to his cheap shot against Domi. Perrson never played in the NHL again after that series.
So, how does this relate to Drake?
We can draw some parallels between this incident, which Drake put up on Instagram, and his ongoing beef with Pusha-T. Many viewed Pusha-T's dis track as a cheap shot, similar to Perrson. But, like Domi, Drake is saying he's going to come out on top in the end.
There's also the fact Perrson didn't play in the NHL again after that series. According to hip hop mogul J. Prince, Drake recorded a "career-ending" dis track aimed at Kanye West and Pusha-T, but ultimately decided not to release it.
This photo could be referring to a dis track on "Scorpion" which would end Pusha-T's career, as J. Prince alluded to.
To further back up this theory, DJ Akademiks said "there are answers on [Drake's] album to make us understand. [Drake] said, ‘You will understand when my project comes out,'" referring to the ongoing back-and-forth between the two rappers.
Is the theory a stretch? Maybe. But remember Drake, a Toronto native, has used sports references in the past. During his ongoing beef with Meek Mill, he used the Blue Jay's Joe Carter on the cover of "Back-to-Back." The meaning there is that Carter, playing for Drake's home team, hit the World Series-winning home run over the Phillies, the team from Meek Mill's hometown.
