Pusha T Reveals Why He Dissed Travis Scott On New Clipse Single 'So Be It'

Any new Pusha T music released since 2018 has had people constantly wondering who may get dissed. Travis Scott was his latest target on the new Clipse single 'So Be It,' and the Virginia rapper explained why. 'You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/ Calabasas took your bi**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/ The 'net gon' call it the way that they see it/ But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it/ They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it/ Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it,' Push rapped on the Tuesday (June 17) release. These lines refer to the Houston rapper's 2023 LP Utopia, his ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and Alexander 'A.E.' Edwards, best friend to Jenner's ex-boyfriend Tyga. But why is the 48-year-old rapper shooting at Travis, and why is now the right time? 'The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play [Pharrell] his new album,' Push told GQ. 'He came to [Pharrell's] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of [Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session.' Pusha T indicated that Travis Scott didn't seem to care about what he was intruding on, and was more focused on playing his music. 'He sees me and Malice there. He's like, 'Oh, man, everybody's here,'' he recalled. '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].' The biggest issue was what the 10-time Grammy nominee didn't play for them. 'And then a week later you hear 'Meltdown,'' Push added. 'He played the song, but not [Drake's verse].' That track was where the 6 God infamously threatened to melt down the Neptunes-era jewelry that he bought from Pharrell's Joopiter auction. Even worse, Skateboard P contributed to that album, which made it another instance where Scott played the fence while his enemies went at one another. The Daytona artist admitted that he didn't hold Scott to 'any standard' because he had done this before, such as placing Drake's Ye-targeted verse on 'Sicko Mode' in 2018, or even last year when he encouraged Future and Metro Boomin to play the full version of 'Like That' at Rolling Loud. 'He don't have no picks, no loyalty to nobody,' Push stated. 'He'll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot. But you can play those games with those people…We're not in your mix. Keep your mix over there.' Pusha T straight up called Travis Scott a 'whore' and was especially bothered because he had intentionally distanced himself from Ye and Scott's crew a long time ago. 'It's the principle of what I'm saying,' he said. 'That filthy quality that they have about themselves, that lack of loyalty. Travis really has that. He's proven. I just named three people that he does that type of behavior with. I'm just not one of them. Dog, I ain't with that. This sh*t ain't coming out of nowhere.' It will be interesting to hear who else gets Push's vitriol when Let God Sort Em Out finally comes out on July 11.
