Pusha T responds to Kanye West saying he misses their friendship
During a recent interview, the Clipse rapper was asked about Ye's statement in which the controversial artist expressed regret over the fallout between them.
Pusha didn't hold back in his reaction. 'I don't care about that at all. It's fine. I would miss me, too. I really would,' he said, making it clear that he has moved on and isn't looking back. The comment, while short, signals that reconciliation isn't on his radar—at least not anytime soon.
Kanye West and Pusha T were once close collaborators, with Ye producing Pusha's critically acclaimed albums Daytona (2018) and It's Almost Dry (2022). However, the relationship appeared to fracture in recent years due to creative differences, political tensions, and Kanye's increasingly controversial public behavior.
While Ye recently told fans he misses his friendship with Pusha, the response from the G.O.O.D. Music president-turned-independent artist makes it clear that he's focused on his own path.
The comment adds another chapter to the complex relationship between two of hip hop's most influential figures. Fans have long speculated about the status of their friendship, but based on Pusha's latest remark, a reunion seems unlikely.

LeBron James deepens Drake feud with Tyler, the Creator cameo
The rumored fallout between LeBron James and rapper Drake has taken another public turn—this time through a music video. Once close friends, the NBA superstar and Canadian rapper now appear increasingly distant, with fans dissecting each new move for hidden meaning. On July 21, LeBron appeared in Tyler, the Creator's new music video "Stop Playing With Me," dancing alongside longtime associate Maverick Carter and rap duo Clipse—Pusha T and Malice. Given Clipse's long-standing tension with Drake, their inclusion instantly raised eyebrows. LeBron's own Instagram caption, 'STOP FKN PLAYING WITH ME!!!!' only added fuel to the fire. This comes after LeBron publicly supported Kendrick Lamar during his explosive 'Pop Out' concert in 2024, where Lamar performed 'Not Like Us,' a direct diss toward Drake. Since then, Drake has unfollowed LeBron on Instagram, rewritten lyrics removing references to him, and reportedly covered up a LeBron-themed tattoo with one honoring NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Drake further addressed the tension during his performance at the 2025 Wireless Festival, rapping, 'I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been distant since 'Headlines',' signaling a clear shift in their relationship. While Tyler, the Creator's visuals are often playful, the timing and cast of this video have led fans to believe this wasn't just a random cameo. Online comments were split—some mocking LeBron for siding with Drake's rivals, others urging reconciliation between the two icons. Whether intentional or not, LeBron's move is the latest twist in a celebrity feud that continues to capture headlines—and the internet's attention.

Travis Scott subtly addresses Pusha T diss on Jackboys 2 amid Clipse album release weekend
Jackboys 2, the long-awaited Cactus Jack compilation led by Travis Scott, is now out, featuring Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo. The release comes amid rising tension between Scott and rapper Pusha T, who recently criticized Travis on the new Clipse track 'So Be It.' Pusha, in a GQ interview, criticized Travis for flaunting his alliance with Pharrell during the Utopia rollout, only to feature Drake on the same album—where Drake delivered a verse dissing Pharrell and Clipse. Pusha didn't hold back, calling Travis 'a whore' with no loyalty or moral standard. While Scott had previously remained silent, the new project seems to offer a subtle response. The opening track, 'Champain & Vacay,' features Don Toliver and ad-libs from Waka Flocka Flame. Toward the end of his verse, Scott raps: 'Man these old n-ggas kill me/Know my YNs feel me… Blue Bugatti, dodgin TMZ/Made a hundred off of pushin tees/Now my phone on DND.' The wordplay alludes to Pusha's name while portraying him as an aging critic. The 'dodgin TMZ' lyric appears to reference a line from 'So Be It,' where Pusha warns Travis he's lucky he didn't 'TMZ it'—hinting at a potentially damaging video. The album opens with narration from Bun B and spans 17 tracks. No other lyrics directly mention Pusha, Clipse, or Pharrell, indicating Travis may be shrugging off the feud. Observers also noted that Scott announced the album just two days before release—timed to coincide with Clipse's long-planned Let God Sort Em Out, possibly setting up a streaming showdown. Ahead of the release, Pusha and his brother Malice addressed the timing in a Breakfast Club interview, encouraging fans to compare both records. Jackboys 2 also features appearances from Future, Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, GloRilla, Kodak Black, Tyla, and Vybz Kartel.

Pusha T says Kendrick Lamar's lyrics made Drake tap out
Pusha T has confirmed that he maintained communication with Kendrick Lamar during Lamar's highly publicized lyrical feud with Drake. The Clipse rapper made the statement during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, further aligning himself with the Compton rapper while praising his skills as a lyricist. When asked directly whether he spoke with Kendrick amid the ongoing tension, Pusha responded, 'Hell yeah, he's my guy.' He added, 'Great lyricists just tune into the obvious,' as captured by NFR Podcast. This isn't the first time Pusha T has publicly praised Lamar. At the 'Saint Sessions Live' event during Art Basel Miami last year, he credited Kendrick's lyrical depth and emotional precision as the reason he emerged victorious in the rap battle. 'The truth really hurts and the truth cuts deep,' Pusha T said. 'And I think what Kendrick was doing was really talking to his soul... That'll cause you to tap out, that'll cause you to sue—it's crazy.' The timing of these remarks aligns with the release of Let God Sort Em Out, Clipse's first album in over 15 years. Kendrick Lamar is featured on the standout track 'Chains & Whips,' and was almost included on 'So Be It' as well. According to Malice, Lamar submitted his verse in the middle of the Drake conflict, yet still delivered 'top to bottom' lyrical excellence. Pusha's comments only add fuel to the ongoing narrative surrounding the high-profile rap beef, further cementing Lamar's image as a calculated and poetic force in hip hop.
