Pusha T stopped by The Daily Show on Tuesday (December 18) to chop it up with host Trevor Noah. During the interview, Noah asked the G.O.O.D. Music president about Kanye West and his tendency to parade the infamous MAGA hat around wherever he goes.
“He doesn’t [wear it] anymore,” Push said. “He stopped. He stopped, though.”
The Grammy Award-nominated MC also admits he was hesitant to broach politics with ‘Ye while he was making the DAYTONA album.
“Can you imagine having those conversations while he’s trying to make my album?” he said. “He basically has my life in his palm and I have to tell him that I hate something. We always have real conversations, though. Always.
“I think that’s why me and him connect so well and I think that’s why DAYTONA came out so well. It’s a give and take. If I don’t like something, I say it and he tries to correct it, and so on and so forth.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Push addressed the controversial DAYTONA album cover, which featured the late Whitney Houston’s drug laden bathroom.
“I felt like this image spoke to exactly what was going on in the album,” he explained. “It’s organized chaos. It’s luxury. it’s drugs. It’s just chaos. I’m make luxury street rap. We gonna talk about everything. We gonna talk about the good, the bad and the ugly.”
Other topics include mental health, Drake, “The Story of Adidon” and the water-throwing incident at Push’s recent Toronto concert.

“He basically has my life in his palm”… LOL so why not boss up and stop letting a mentally ill closet homosexual control your art
Keep that same energy with your manager tomorrow when you clock in.
buahahahaha!
Mentally ill… Yeah. But Snoop Dogg? A total mature, adult acting man! Just kidding. Snoops a fool
Kanye needs to rep that hat ? it’s classic
Lol everything is about trump these days… Can’t hear a song, watch a movie, turn on the TV, or do ANYTHING without hearing about something Trump related…. I like Trump… But the constant obsession with him in every single avenue of entertainment is annoying. Hell, the award shows are overshadowed by the one line about trump, not the hours of music talk
It’s because the same companies that put out all of the leftist news, are the same companies that put out all of the leftist late night propaganda shows. Comcast and Time Warner trot out celebrity chattel to manipulate public opinion.
I’m sorry but why we do trump like this? Every one of these guys phony and corrupt to all hell. We get this old playboy guy hip hop used to rap positively about and we turn on him? We could have told him how great he was and he would have done ANYTHING we wanted. Any kind of reform he would have pushed through, plus we would of still got the comedy of him clowning these other countries acting like we are pushovers.
lets all take this moment to thank drake for the opportunities he has created for push. Shout out to Donald Trump for not being able to be swayed by billionaires simply because he is one. ONE
People who hate Trump talk about him waaaaaaaaay more than people who love him. Dudes need to chill.
They used to love him…….sheep movement
