Pusha T has some strong feelings about Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat despite his boss Kanye West’s penchant for wearing it.
In an interview with The Guardian, the G.O.O.D. Music president equated the MAGA hat to the Ku Klux Klan’s white hoods.
“The Make America Great Again hat is this generation’s Ku Klux hood,” he said. “When was America so great anyways? Name that time period?”
Pusha’s comments are in stark contrast to West publicly endorsing Trump and wearing the hat. After Yeezy’s MAGA co-sign and controversial comments about slavery, the two discussed the situation while working on the latest batch of West-produced albums in Wyoming.
“We disagree on plenty of shit,” Pusha said. “Of course I disagree with what he said then. When he did TMZ, I flew to Wyoming the next day [to confront him]. We spoke about insensitivity. The actual messaging. Where I felt he went wrong.
“You can’t even paraphrase about situations and issues that are so personal to people. When it comes to death and real-life people and persecution and things where families have been divided, you have to be more careful.”
Check out the entire interview with Pusha, which also touches on his DAYTONA album and the beef with Drake, here.

You have to have a mental retardation to come up with that statement. Delusional Clown
what a bozo. he obviously dont care that much
You ain’t never lied….
Same dude talking about selling drugs and destroying his neighborhood
I rather listen to rappers like drake. Yeah, drake pretends to cook in the kitchen and have goons that will kill you but we all know he doesnt fo that stuff. Pusha t on the other hand is a well known king pin. Dude moves heavy weight that kills alot of people. I rather listen to drake pretend to be a trap star that to listen to someone that kills his community.
I thought I told you to find your own name. Sup stealing mine like white people do culture.
Lmfao
Pusha t is a well known drug kingpin? Yeah sureeee. I’m sure a guy who makes records about selling drugs totally would be under the authorities radars… Not
Yea, I’m going to take anything that this uneducated drug dealer has to say seriously.. Riiiiiiiight. He’s confused, misinformed, and just plain dumb.
Fuck MAGA and anyone that supports it. Stay out our culture and go back to your 4x4s and white hoods.
Found the beta male. And who you think a good POTUS was? Obama? Yeah, cash that welfare check, loser.
Found the Incel white guy who’s insecure. Loves hip hop but hates black folks unless they agree with his insecure feeling that his sad wack life as a typical white male is worth something when it’s useless.
sssss
The fact that a black person is welcome to wear a MAGA hat is all the evidence you need that comparing it to a Klan hood is monumentally stupid. I love Push’s music, but he doesn’t know the first thing about politics.
Right, and Kanye does? Lol
Nah, probably not. He hasn’t indicated that he agrees with anything Trump does, all he’s done is suggest that he doesn’t hate him. Literally that’s all he did that set lefties off.
Let’s be fair Ye wanted to set ppl off he came out at first just saying I would’ve voted for Trump then I love and support him with no context. It didn’t take a genius to see where it would go from there. Then he clarified he doesn’t support his policies, just what he represents to him and he likes Bernie Sanders political ideas more. So yeah he wanted all the attention that came his way if u ask me.
Wow lol. Democrats were the KKK. Who is kicking people out of restaurants and stores? Who physically assaulting who? Isn’t black unemployment at an all time low? How, in any way shape of form, is wearing a Maga hat a sign of white supremacy? The stereotype that Republicans are racist is bogus. Democrats are the ones who pander to races for votes, yet do nothing for them.
Democrats are losing because they are literal bigots. Closed minded. They constantly harass others, and act as if their ideas are the only correct ones. They claim to love diversity, yet they hate idealistic diversity. They even call out black people who don’t agree with them, as if skin color dictates your thoughts or feelings.
Kanye knows what he is doing, he is pandering to the crowd that listens and agrees with Jesse Lee Peterson… youtube him and you will agree
Instead of complaining ’bout the MAGA hat, stop making music that making stereotypical music and upholding stereotypes.
I love Pusha T and all but shit like this is why the Democrats will lose the 2018 midterms and Trump is guaranteed another 4 years. You can’t just call half the country klansmen because they have different political priorities than you.
Bingo. The exaggeration and crying over every little thing is why the left is losing support.
Pretty clear who’s white in these comments.
Exactly. Only whites, specifically white males, would call the ripping away of kids from people of color, the pandering to racists, the dogwhistles, taking away women’s rights the outright stripping away of Democracy some “political priorities”. That white privlege in a nutshell. Anything they do to you is their right to do and anything you say about it is just “whining” that is going to cause them to hurt you worse (midterms, Trump2020). Let’s see how those midterms go. Keep acting like you’re invincible, that kryptonite is going to hurt so much worse.
Haha. You probably think that Time cover was real. What women’s rights have been taken away? The ones that kill fetuses?
OK yehhh. Cuz 60,000,000 Americans are klansmen. Using logic doesn’t mean your white lol. Since we didn’t like Hillary, We’re totally evil. Hillary Clinton loves black people! Because they vote democrat.
Fact: over 22% of Obama voters voted for Trump. Look it up. They must be klansmen!
no one has explained this to me, what does “Make America Great Again” mean ? Was America great when we were segregated? Was America great when people of color had less opportunity? please explain and then tell me how it’s not racist in sentiment.
It’s referring to when our nation was doing so good with opportunity (not for all obviously) that ONE person could work a 9-5 and support a family of four, without having a 6 year college degree and internship. America was great because the standard of living was high, the jobs were plentiful, it wasn’t very dangerous as a whole… America was never not great. Sure, it has its dark parts as well. Just like any other nation. Segregation is being voulenteerily conducted by the same people who were victims of it years ago.
America is great. Believe it or not, white Republicans were respnsible for the 1964 civil rights act. We aren’t a bunch of racists. Most americans just want to live peacefully among one another.
Other things that made America a greater nation in the past. We were the first nation to reach the moon. We became the leader in modern medicine. Our food supply has been great, we have selection that nations like China and Russia wish they had.
Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of bad things in America’s past… Like all nations. But you’d be a fool not to notice how lucky we are here…. It’s a generally safe place with plentiful opportunity for all. Just ask any immigrant…. They are ecstatic to be here. If it wasn’t a great place, they’d stay in their own home nations. We fucking rock.
Jamie so are you saying America is already great, which defeats the purpose of “making it great again “, or are you saying the point of “MAGA” is to restore a time in America that is virtually impossible to replicate. America manufactures nothing but entertainers which is why countries like China are doing better than us now. There will never be a time in this modern economy where 1 persons 9-5 paycheck can support an entire family without a college degree and to believe anyone who tells you otherwise is foolish and naive. Doesn’t really make any sense if you think about it
Trump stole that slogan from 1980 Regan and 1991 Bill Clinton. The rest of the world is catching up and taking advantage in areas such as trade
There’s a reason immigrants worldwide flock to America… Because it’s better than almost every other nation. Some other places like Poland and Japan are fantastic, but they don’t accept legal immigrants like America does.
Pretty clear who’s black in these comments.
Americans
