Pusha T Explains Why He Has Words for Travis Scott

It’s the latter part that aggravated Pusha enough to the point of taking his issue to wax. “I personally have been removed from that crew and those people for a minute,” Push said, in reference to the larger Kanye/GOOD Music extended orbit. “So, that’s where my issue comes in—like, dawg, don’t even come over here with that, because at the end of the day, I don’t play how y’all play. To me, that really was just like…he’s a whore. He’s a whore.” (Print can’t do justice to the disdain in Pusha’s delivery here.)

“I’ve already dealt with the lack of loyalty [to his] mentor, the guy he looks up to,” Push said, referring to Kanye. “I’ve been dealing with the corny shit that goes along with them. So it’s like, I’m in a whole ‘nother place. Don’t bring that over to bring that over to my house. I just wanted you to have that true context, man…and honestly, Frazier, you got to realize I’ve really been in Paris. I’ve really been making my joints. I’ve really been doing my shit.”

It was in this moment when Pusha got the most fired up, seemingly intent on disproving the perception that he’s a bully or that he’s engaging for attention or shock value. “When these people mention me, they’re really going out of their way. What have I done besides wear clothes, bro, in the past couple of years? It’s like these people are going out of their way. Somebody brought “Meltdown” to my house. To P’s house, actually… I mean, I don’t give a fuck. P don’t give a damn. But it’s like…”

It’s the principle.

“It’s the principle of it,” Pusha said, impassioned. “It’s the principle of what I’m saying. That filthy quality that they have about themselves, that lack of loyalty. Travis really has that. He’s proven. I just named three people that he does that type of behavior with. I’m just not one of them. Dog, I ain’t with that. This shit ain’t coming out of nowhere. Bro, I be cool with all these guys. Everybody you mentioned today, bro, I promise you they did the underhanded, weird shit.”

And then they get the heat check?

“Always. It always comes.”
