Pusha T On Current Relationship With Ye: 'I Don't Think He's A Man'
Clipse is gearing up for their first group release in over a decade with upcoming album, Let God Sort 'Em Out. During a promo discussion with GQ, Pusha T opened up about the state of his relationship with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after their business and personal relationship crumbled in late 2022. The interview comes days after Ye took to Twitter/X to declare, 'I miss me and Pusha's friendship.' According to Push, however, that won't be enough to bring the former collaborators back together. He starts by saying that his and Ye's friendship began to unravel long before the producer's 2022 anti-semitic rants put the nail in the coffin, admitting that, 'the last few months or years of his time with Kanye were him 'playing the industry game' more than anything.' 'I realized at certain points that I was really alone in everything that was going on as far as rap drama, so on and so forth,' Push shared. The rapper previously stated on The Joe Budden Podcast that Ye was iffy with his support of Pusha T in his battle with Drake. Push added that the energy within Ye's camp became concerning at one point. 'I'm in a collective of a lot of individuals. Everybody's working, but I really got sh*t to do, and I leave and it's one energy, and then when I come back, the energy's off. And then you hear about the sidebar conversations. You got your homeboy who coming up to you like, 'Yo, they was saying this when you left.' I'm thinking that we all in this collectively getting busy. But in all actuality, everybody had their own agendas. And I feel like I was the only one who didn't. My agenda was for the squad. So from that point on, I just looked at everybody differently, and I looked at it as, We're just going to make music. We're going to get beats. We're going to write some raps. And we going to keep it moving.' The Virginia MC added of Ye's most recent rant against him, 'It's like, bro, you've been mentioning me, screaming about me… you got every soul believing that I've done such a great injustice to you. And that's a lie. He goes on his rants. The one thing that I can say about him is that he knows that every issue that he's having and crying about online right now, I've told him distinctly about those things, distinctly. So when he gets up there and with his KKK mask and he's screaming behind it like a pro wrestler—he got to scream behind a mask. He don't talk to me like he talks to others. 'We made some great sh*t, bro. We did,' Pusha acknowledged. 'But…let me tell you something. He's a genius. And his intuition is even more genius level, right? But that's why me and him don't get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don't think he's a man. He knows it. And that's why we can't build with each other no more. That's why me and him don't click, because he knows what I really, really think of him. He's showed me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.' Pusha was also able to acknowledge some good Ye has done, sharing, 'The greatest thing he did and why I am okay with where me and him are right now—and I'm cool with staying that way—is because at the end of the day, my truth is my truth, but I still respect what he did in the business. And he speaks ill about the music we've made and giving me certain records, but the one thing he did give me was all the profits back from the Def Jam deal.' Check out the full GQ interview here.
