Kanye West may miss Pusha T, but it does not appear to be a mutual feeling. In a new interview, Push revealed his relationship with Kanye West began to fall apart before he officially distanced himself due to Kanye’s antisemitic comments.
“Everybody’s working [at the Donda sessions], but I really got shit to do, and I leave and it’s one energy, and then when I come back, the energy’s off,” Push said in the GQ interview. “And then you hear about the sidebar conversations.”
He added, “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.”
But it doesn’t stop there. King Push revealed Ye is a genius and that level reaches his intuition, where he saw through Pusha T’s “fakeness with him.”
“He knows I don’t think he’s a man,” Pusha said. “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.”
In case you missed it, last Friday, Pusha and his brother Malice debuted a new Clipse track titled “Ace Trumpets,” which had fans raising eyebrows. His verse appeared to send a clear message to his former label head.
“Look at them, him and him, still waitin’ on Yeezy / I hope you got your squeegees,” Push rapped.
There’s more, he continued with icy precision, delivering lines that referenced media appearances, global status, and legacy.
“Beloved like the Bee Gees,” he added with signature flair.
While the bars stopped short of a full-blown diss, they served as a reminder that Pusha has evolved beyond the G.O.O.D. Music chapter. His message? He is still in rare form and on his terms.
Get this, in an unexpected twist, Ye chose not to retaliate with lyrics or lash out in a headline-grabbing rant. Instead, he responded with a moment of vulnerability on social media.
“I miss me and Pusha’s friendship,” Ye wrote. That feeling is one-sided.
