Pusha T has opened up about his complicated relationship with Kanye West, stating that they “never saw eye to eye,” even during their time as friends. In an interview with The New York Times’ Popcast, Pusha shared insights into the dynamic between him and the controversial rapper and former label boss.
“I don’t even know if I ever held my tongue,” he explained, indicating that he has always been candid about his thoughts. However, he acknowledged that while they collaborated to create great music, their personal principles and mindsets have always diverged. “Outside of music, we’re nothing,” he said, emphasizing the lack of connection beyond their professional relationship.
In a separate conversation with GQ, Pusha T elaborated on his feelings toward Kanye, remarking that he has frequently warned him about his issues, which Kanye has now publicly addressed. Pusha noted, “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 expressed that Kanye is aware of Pusha’s true feelings about him, suggesting a deeper rift caused by their differing views on character and integrity.
Pusha T also referenced Kanye in his recent track “Ace Trumpets” from Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out, further highlighting the ongoing tension between the two. Despite the history they share, it remains clear that their relationship is strained, especially following Pusha’s departure from GOOD Music in 2022 amid Kanye’s controversial remarks.
As the conversation continues, fans are left to ponder the complexities of their relationship and how it has influenced their music and public personas. For more updates on Pusha T and the evolving landscape of hip-hop, stay tuned to www.hiphopraisedmetheblog.com.
