Rap star Pusha T's 'favorite business' venture is surprisingly a US medical-based service company
While many celebrities channel their cash into business ventures as flashy as their lifestyles — think high-end liquors and swanky real estate — rap star Pusha T flipped the script by backing a relatively boring business a lot of people wouldn't even consider: medical transportation. 'This is my favorite business,' he revealed during an interview on REVOLT's 'Assets Over Liabilities' podcast in November 2023. 'We would get these vans and we would put in wheelchair lifts, and we would go pick up people who need rides, people who [are] elderly, [disabled].'

Pusha T Congratulates Kendrick Lamar on Record-Breaking Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance
Pusha T showed love to Kendrick Lamar for his record-breaking Super Bowl Halftime Show performance in New Orleans. King Push took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (Feb. 11) saluting K. Dot for a job well done with his Feb. 9 rap-heavy set at the Caesars Superdome. 'Mission accomplished… Congrats,' he wrote.

Tems Joins San Diego FC Ownership Group as Club Partner Taylor Swift Personally Tips Individual Workers at a Grammys Afterparty in Newly Surfaced Clip Kendrick and Pusha have a long-running relationship, as they teamed up for 'Nosetalgia' back in 2013. Although, fans were more concerned with the pair being the last to damage Drake in battle, as Pusha T and Drizzy famously feuded in 2018. Drizzy admitted defeat to Push during a Rap Radar interview in 2019, during which he said he suffered his 'first loss in the competitive sport of rapping.' Pusha has long respected Kendrick's pen, and even hailed him as the 'lyric king' during a panel last year at Revolt World. 'It's amazing to watch him be exactly who he is, be the lyric king,' he said. 'Guess what they have in common,' one fan wrote on X, while another chimed in, 'Both artist won the beef too.' The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced on Tuesday that Kendrick Lamar has the most viewed Super Bowl Halftime Show ever. 'We've broken the record again! The most watched Apple Music Halftime show EVER, with 133.5 Million viewers,' the companies wrote on Instagram. Fox Sports reported the game had an average of 126 million viewers, meaning Kendrick's performance drew more viewers than the Super Bowl itself.
