Source: YouTube / YoutubeAnother year and another rapper that Pusha T feels he has to put in his place as the cussin’ half of Clipse (Malice is still keeping it PG with the bars) has taken aim at one of the game’s most popular artists. Travis Scott gets called out on Clipse’s latest cut, “So Be It.”
In a shot that came straight out of left field, Pusha T turned many heads when he spit, “You cried in front of me, died in front of me/Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me/Heard Utopia had moved right up the street/And her lip gloss was popping, she ain’t need you to eat.”
While many automatically knew that Pusha was sending straight shots to Travis Scott, many were left scratching their heads as to where the sudden animosity towards “The Highest In The Room” rapper came from. Well, Push answered that question in a new interview with GQ in which he explained that his beef with Scott began years ago when Scott crashed a recording session between Clipse and Pharrell while the three were in Paris.
Per GQ:
He interrupted a session,” Pusha recalled. “He sees me and Malice there. He’s like, ‘Oh, man, everybody’s here,’ he’s smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his fucking monkey dance. We weren’t into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]. And then a week later you hear ‘Meltdown,’ which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”
While this rubbed Pusha the wrong way, he says this is common practice for Scott and that’s what ultimately led him to just air out his grievances on the new Clipse record.
“He’s done this a lot. He has no picks. He’ll do this with anybody. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’”— on which Drake seems to diss Kanye, despite Travis’s close ties to him. Push then referenced last spring when Travis joined Future and Metro on stage and excitedly asked them to tease “Like That,” the song whose incendiary Kendrick Lamar verse ignited Kendrick’s beef with Drake: “He was on the [Rolling Loud] stage like, ‘Play that, play that!’ He don’t have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He’ll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot. But you can play those games with those people…We’re not in your mix. Keep your mix over there.”
Added push, “He’s a whore.”
While Pusha seems ready and willing to engage in a lyrical showdown with a new opponent, it should be worth noting that Travis Scott himself isn’t exactly known for spitting battle rap bars and probably won’t respond with a diss record so much as he may reference it in some kind of way. Then again, he may surprise us and drop his first-ever diss record and let the world judge who got the better cut in the unforeseen battle.
Still, Travis did apparently decide to troll Pusha T on his IG stories with a reference to the 2023 bot overload of pics insinuating that Pusha once had sex with his pet lizard.
We completely forgot about this…
