“The Story of Adidon” is Pusha-T’s response to Drake’s diss track “Duppy Freestyle.” Inspired by the title, and borrowing the instrumental from JAY-Z’s “The Story of O.J.,” Pusha sets aside topics of his beef with Drake so far, and instead focuses on Drake’s character and personal relationships.

He claims Drake had a baby with a pornstar, allegedly named Adonis, which also lends the track its name— a portmanteau of “Adonis” & “Adidas.” Pusha also attacks Drake’s close associates like his mother Sandi, father Dennis, label-boss Birdman and OVO producer Noah “40” Shebib.

The song’s artwork is a picture of Drake in blackface and was taken by photographer David Leyes, which previously appeared on Leyes’s website in his gallery. The portraits were removed as of May 30, 2018, but the portrait chosen for the album cover can still be found via an archived version of the gallery page, with an additional portrait from the same shoot also archived.

Drake responded to the frenzy caused by the photo and explained the backstory in an Instagram post.

In October 2018, following an interview in which Drake suggested that the information about his hidden child came from Kanye West, Pusha went on The Joe Budden Podcast to reveal that it indirectly came from Drake’s producer, Noah “40” Shebib:

The information came from 40. It didn’t come from Kanye, at all. 40 is sleeping with a woman who begins to, he talks to her daily, five, six hours a day… with that also came the fact that Drake has a child.
