Consequence is standing on business. He just called out Pusha T after the Clipse rapper publicly said he did not respect Ye. Appearing on Hot 97, Consequence used his time on air to share his frustrations and break down why he believes Pusha’s stance does not add up.
Let’s get right to the clip:
“Today we need to address what’s going on in Hip Hop. Today I need to share with New York, with Hot 97, the home of Hip Hop, and the rest of the world. I’m really high with integrity and the truth, and this summer we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer,’” Consequence said.
Check this out, he then added, “One of the reasons why we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer’ is because the sound bite of the summer was ‘I don’t respect Kanye as a man’ performed by and I’mma emphasis ‘performed’ by Pusha T and his brother Malice, known as the Clipse.”
But wait, to strengthen his point, Consequence had host DJ Drewski read text messages that he claimed were exchanges between Ye and Pusha following the explosive Drake diss track “The Story of Adidon.”
Interestingly, Ye’s message read: “In the diss record to Drake, you still not 100 percent in the right with me even though he should not have spoke on your wife. You not perfect either. The record still caused me mental harm, so that meant when you shot, you hit me and my family also. We have to protect my brain at all cost, because I have the vision. It’s accountability, you not wrong but you not 100 percent right either.”
Now according to Consequence, Pusha replied with: “Yeah I agree, I’m not perfect… I never learned how to turn the other cheek when disrespected. It’s how I was raised. Martin Luther King wasn’t respected in my house either. Hurting you or your family wasn’t my intention. Protecting my family and the brand was the only mission. Sorry for any trauma caused by me.”
Consequence then argued that Pusha’s recent comments do not line up with the apology. “Right, so he apologized for basically dragging Kanye into the beef with Drake. He actually said in his own words, ‘Sorry for any trauma I’ve caused you and your family.’ So, where I’m from, if you’re willing to apologize to someone, that would mean that you respect them, right? So if you’re running a whole rollout based on not respecting someone and you’re a man, but you know that you already apologized to this man, then are you being honest with your base? Are you being honest to the world? Is this a real feeling or is this contrived for marketing?”
He wrapped up his thoughts by making his stance clear. “So, I’mma say this and I’mma leave. I’m outside. Anybody got anything to say to me, you can take your brother out the pulpit and find me in the streets. I’m from the same streets as the Supreme Team, I’m from the same streets as Rich and Alpo and AZ, you know, real drug dealers. Remember those? One.”
