Pusha T and Jim Jones have seemingly reignited their beef after the Virginia rapper debuted some unreleased bars that many think are aimed at the Dipset Capo.
A new Clipse track premiered at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show in Paris on Tuesday (June 20) as Pusha and his brother No Malice walked the runway.

On the song, Pusha T appears to take shots at Jim Jones following his shade earlier this year.
“Beware of my name, that there’s delegate/ You know I know where you’re delicate/ Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it/ I will close your heaven for the hell of it/ You think it’d be valor amongst veterans/ I’m watching your fame escape relevance/ We all in a room but here’s the elephant/ You chasing a feature out of your element,” Pusha raps, seemingly accusing Jones of cuddling up to his nemesis Drake in order to get a guest verse.

He continues: “And those lab diamonds under inspection/ The question marks block your blessings/ It’s no tombstones in the desert/ I know by now you get the message.”
Various big-name celebrities were also in attendance, with JAY-Z and Beyoncé nodding their heads in the front row. Check out the track below.

Shortly after, Jim Jones appeared to respond by posting a video of himself laughing on Instagram while referencing Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name album in the caption.
“Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” he wrote.
He added on his Instagram Stories: “Let me know when they really ready.”

The apparent friction between the two likely started when Jim Jones questioned Pusha T’s position at No. 29 on Billboard‘s Top 50 Greatest Rapper of All Time list in April.
“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” he said on The RapCaviar Podcast at the time. “He’s nice as shit. He could rap his ass off, but what has he done?

“Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody wants to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. And let’s not be evil, but we don’t talk about rap where the n-gga that’s popping the bitches wanna fuck and the n-ggas wanna be like.”
He added: “I don’t know too many n-ggas in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T. Pusha T don’t hold no weight out here. He not pushing no shit out here.”
Jim Jones then doubled down on his comments on The Breakfast Club, claiming people don’t know enough Pusha T songs to make a Top 5.
“Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked Charlamagne Tha God. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No. Could you rap to five Pusha T records?
“Could you rap five [JAY-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n-ggas gonna say Jim went way wildin.’”

He continued: “Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul. You my dawg. You not in my Top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s Top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life.
“I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n-ggas wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.”
