After giving media members an early listen to Let God Sort Em Out at Roc Nation HQ in NYC, Clipse returned to heat up the summer with the album's second single on Tuesday (June 17) as the Pharrell-produced 'So Be It' arrived.
Pusha T and Malice trade fiery bars over Skateboard P's chiseled production, but a ton of eyeballs went to Pusha's scathing final verse, which finds him sniping at Travis Scott.

'You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/ Calabasas took your b—h and your pride in front of me/ Heard Utopia had moved right up the street/ And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat,' Push raps in what appears to be a reference to Scott's split from beauty mogul and reality star Kylie Jenner.
Billboard has reached out to Scott for comment.
Some speculated that the verse was about his former G.O.O.D. Music running mate, Ye (formerly Kanye West), but King Push confirmed to GQ that he had smoke for La Flame.
Pusha T explained that his issues with Scott were tied to the Cactus Jack rapper pulling up to Louis Vuitton HQ to play his 2023 Utopia album for Pharrell while Clipse was also working on their upcoming album.
'He's like, 'Oh, man, everybody's here,' he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f–king monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it],' he recalled. 'And then a week later you hear 'Meltdown,' which he didn't play. He played the song, but not [Drake's verse].'
Drake takes several shots at Pharrell on the track and says he's going to melt P's classic jewelry. 'Melt down the chains that I bought from your boss, give a f—k about all of that heritage s—t,' he raps.
Having that verse on Utopia after playing the track for Pharrell didn't sit right with Pusha T, as he feels Scott aligns with whoever when it's convenient for him, but doesn't stand by his loyalty to anyone.
'He's done this a lot. He has no picks. He'll do this with anybody. He did it with 'Sicko Mode'… He was on the [Rolling Loud] stage like, 'Play that, play that,'' Push said in reference to 'Like That,' which sparked the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. 'He don't have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He'll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot.'
Pusha T continued: 'So, that's where my issue comes in — like, dawg, don't even come over here with that, because at the end of the day, I don't play how y'all play. To me, that really was just like … He's a whore. He's a whore.'
