Pusha T and Kanye West haven’t always had the best relationship, but recent alleged text messages between the two give new insight into the pair’s at-times strained relationship.
A Reddit post from Saturday (January 6) alleges that the texts, which are from January 2022, detail how much the Push feels Yeezy has fallen from grace.
“I put out the song because he dissed me and mentioned my wife in a song,” King Push writes, seeming to refer to the back-and-forth with Drake that culminated with “The Story of Adidon.” “You let Drake disrespect you, your wife, and your family. That’s why you can’t get your wife to respect you.”
He continued: “Don’t blame me, Kanye. I would never shoot anybody for you, you would snitch on me. Shyne changed his name to Moses and turned Jew. Please don’t compare me to him. Puff was better off without J. Lo., she was a whore. I’ve held you down, and you don’t appreciate me.”
Pusha T cut ties with Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music in 2022 after Ye unleashed a stream of antisemitic remarks, for which he has since apologized. However, Ye seemed to still publicly support Pusha T despite the split.
Back in April 2023, the Chicago rap icon attended Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God fashion show alongside his new wife, Bianca Censori, at the Hollywood Bowl.
King Push graced the stage to perform “Feel the Love,” his collaboration with Kanye and Kid Cudi from 2018’s Kids See Ghosts, while modeling some of the famed designer’s new Fear of God x adidas collection.
PUSHA T ON KANYE’S RECENT CONTROVERSIES: ‘IT’S DISAPPOINTING’
Ye was seen vibing out to his former signee’s performance in the audience while sitting next to his wife. He was also caught on camera turning up to his 2013 Yeezus track “Blood on the Leaves,” which played during the runway show.
Pusha first spoke out against his close collaborator in November 2022, saying Ye’s derogatory comments about Jews were “disappointing.” He reaffirmed this sentiment in an interview with XXL, referring specifically to comments Ye made about Hitler on Alex Jones’ Info Wars podcast.
“It’s beyond that and it’s nothing to tap dance around,” Pusha said. “It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again. ’Cause we done had this for years.”
He continued: “He’s not speaking to me now. If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff [on InfoWars]. I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.”
