Pusha T dropped an interesting “diss track.”
The rapper is in a new ad promoting Arby’s new Spicy Fish Sandwich, and Pusha T took shots at the fast-food chain’s rival, McDonald’s.
A famous line in Arby’s commercial is when Pusha T raps: “I’m the reason the whole world love it and now I gotta crush it/ Filet-O-Fish is — and you should be disgusted/How dare you sell a square fish asking us to trust it/ A half slice of cheese Mickey D’s on a budget?”
Pusha T promoted the commercial on his personal Twitter. In the post, Push said,“Just dropped a diss track with @Arbys. Grab some popcorn and a Spicy Fish Sandwich. #ArbysSpicyFishDissTrack .”

Revolt pointed out back in 2003, Pusha T wrote McDonald’s popular “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle but was only paid upfront for the gig. He missed out on publishing royalties over the last few years. The outlet notes on Drink Champs, Pusha said,
“I want artists to know that part. Keep your publishing. That check will be nice, but ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ been running for how long now? I did This in ’03. Who knows what it would have been.”
Pusha T didn’t make the same mistake twice, he reportedly owns publishing rights for Arby’s “We have the meats” slogan. Pusha said,
“The get back is real. I also own 40 percent of the Arby’s commercial.”

Pusha T being the go-to rapper for fast food jingles is one of the most random things in Hip Hop history. pic.twitter.com/SOSsLtGIig
