The power of Gunna is international. And after the Atlanta rapper found kinship with Yasiin Bey in Paris, the power is proving to be generational too.
While performing alongside his Midnight Miracle podcast in France, Yasiin caught up with Gunna, who was in town for Paris Fashion Week. After the two exchanged pleasantries, they took a photo, one Yasiin proudly proclaims would be “internet breaking.”
The woman taking the photo gleefully adds to the moment, “We got Mos Def pushin’ P in Paris!”
Since the release of DS4EVER, the term “pushin P” and, by extension, the P emoji have taken over social media. Brands such as Walmart, IHOP and Nike have bought onto the slang and so has Kim Kardashian.

After Nike got a hold of the slang, followers of the retail giant weren’t exactly fond of the use considering how often shoppers lose out on shoes via the SNKRS App.
One fan responded to the tweet, writing, “As in [p]airs [p]eople will actually want?” Another fan chimed in saying, “How y’all pushing [p] when y’all can’t even Push a notification correctly.”
If i was Mos Def, I would immediately try and do damage control because he probably has no idea what that means and it’s ridiculously stupid regardless. Mos Def doesn’t do that trendy bullshit. He’s not “pushin p in Paris”….. You just happened to see him there and took a picture with a dumb caption. They are not the same thing
Nah, it’s all good. Mos probably happy to see a young black man do good. Don’t push your agenda on others bruv
If anything he’s pushing his agenda on Mos. They do the same profession therefore their cordial. Just because they see each other and take a picture together doesn’t mean mos supports what he’s doing… But they’re posting it as if he is. I’m sure he is happy to see him do well but he didn’t actively do anything except take a picture this is a total reach.
Nobody cares about your p bro
