Pusha T has hit back at critics who say he only raps about drug dealing.
Appearing on the Joe & Jada Podcast, the Clipse rapper was posed the question that his lyrics focus too much on drugs.
Pusha hit back by saying: “You can’t please everybody but 23 years in this, I’m not tryna please nobody but myself, that’s what I care about. I know that my taste, my ear, and what it is that I wanna hear that resonates with that type of person, that’s the type of person I wanna talk to.”
He added: “The person who says that… man, I’m sure I don’t even gel with you anyway. I’m positive I don’t like you. I take it with a grain of salt, but more importantly I know who my family is.”
Pusha T responds to music critics who says he always raps about selling drugs and never switches topics.

Pusha has made waves in recent weeks for comments he has made about Travis Scott.
In an interview with Ebro on Apple Music, one half of the Clipse further explained how his issues with Scott stem from when he interrupted a recording session with Pharrell in Paris.
Pusha T ghostwrote for Kanye so that alone debunks only drug raps. Pusha T raps about luxury life, drugs, cars, clothes, fortune and his connect! Most of the new Clipse album is dope as hell as their lyrics are double entendres for almost the entire body of work. It is a Classic Clipse album and their best album. Yes the album is heavy in dope talk. But the album is not only dope talk. We need Hov on a remix!!!
Drug rap is like a well that never dries up for Push. No matter how many times he rap about it it always sounds fresh. And people who says he only rap about drugs arent really listening to him.
We may be old, bitter and collect KAWS, but we don’t let a grown men play w/ our manhood, get punk’d by our wives (not married, feel sorry for those who are), and most importantly, try to fit in w/ the black culture trying to gain clout. #JustinTheColonizerBeiber
I mean, they’re not wrong. Out of all the coke rappers I believe Pusha the least. Actually it’s a tie between him and Stove God Cooks.
New album fire though 🔥 Stove got bars too. Just sayin… the coke tales is tall af to me.
