Pusha T has said that Kanye West never leaked the information on Drake’s “secret son” and instead claims producer Noah ‘40’ Shebib did.

The 41-year-old, who has been embroiled in a long-standing feud with Drake, claims that God’s Plan rapper Drake was wrong for thinking West revealed news of his son Adonis.

Speaking on Joe Budden’s podcast, he explained: “The information came from 40. It didn’t come from Kanye at all.

“40 is sleeping with a woman. He talks to her daily like five to six hours a day. Provides opportunity for her.

“And ultimately speaks about how he is disgruntled about certain things like notoriety and things involving Drake’s career.”

He added: “With that also came the fact that Drake has a child. With that also came the trip that everybody took to go see the child and bring him gifts.

“She divulged this information, that’s where it came from.”

The Story of Adidon hit maker added that Drake may have taken West’s apology as him taking responsibility for the revelation.

The comments come after Drake told how he met up with West and was “transparent” with him about his son ahead of the release of his album Scorpion, which released in June.

Drake said on an episode of LeBron James’ HBO show: “I ended up linking with Ye' and he sold me on this whole speech of, like, 'I'm in a great place, I'm making money, and I'm a father and I want to be Quincy Jones and help you.

“But in order to do that, you gotta be transparent with me, and you gotta play me your music, and you gotta tell me when you're dropping. And I know you don't like to do things like that.

“And so, you know, I was in the studio. I guess we all kind of felt a genuine vibe from it.”

He added: "I'm in Wyoming, I play him March 14, I send him a picture of my son. I tell him I'm having trouble with my son's mother. We had a conversation.”

According to Drake, dates for West’s album started to circulate around a similar time that Scorpion was due to release sparking a bitter back and forth that took off after Pusha T revealed news of his son.
