Pusha T has admitted that he was shocked by Def Jam’s attempts to block Kendrick Lamar‘s verse from the new Clipse album Let God Sort Em Out.
Clipse ended up departing the label following the dispute after refusing to remove Kendrick’s verse.
Sitting down with Billboard, Pusha confessed Def Jam caught him off guard: “I was shocked by it actually. I was shocked at first. We haven’t been doing anything particularly. For the past two years, it was just creating the album and back and forth to Paris. It was no ill intent in creating that song. We weren’t on that type of time, so it was totally a shock from what I feel like the optics were enough to put a halt to something like that.”
Pusha also shut down rumors that he recently secured Kendrick’s verse at one of his shows after being seen vibing in the crowd.
He said: “I actually pulled up to the show just because. I was just tryna catch one, and Boston was a good one. It was awesome. People were mistaken, thinking I was getting the vocals. The vocals have been in, man.”
The Virginia rapper recently explained how the Kendrick feature came to be.
Speaking with Spotify, Pusha explained: “Clipse and Kendrick together, that speaks lyricism. I don’t think anyone wants anything other than that. There was a traffic of people coming in and out of the studio and one of the people just happened to be a person from Kendrick’s camp.
Pusher T needs to STFU, everytime he disses someone or makes an implicit diss without naming the subject it’s because he’s having new music out. What an idiot. Biggest loser from GOOD Music.
