Pusha T appears to have reignited public interest in his relationship with Kanye after referencing his former GOOD Music collaborator on a new Clipse track titled "Ace Trumpets," produced by Pharrell.
On the song, Pusha delivers a pointed lyric: “Sold ecstasy and disappeared, I am Whodini / Look at them, him and him, still waitin’ on Yeezy / I hope you got your squeegees / At your interviews, I just ki-ki.”
The verse quickly sparked buzz across social media, prompting Kanye—who now goes by Ye—to share a surprisingly heartfelt response on X, writing, "I miss me and Pusha’s friendship."
The two artists share a deep history. Pusha T was one of Ye's most loyal collaborators and defenders through various controversies. However, their relationship appeared to fracture after Ye made a series of antisemitic remarks in 2022, both online and during interviews.
In a candid interview with XXL that same year, Pusha addressed his discomfort with Ye’s rhetoric, saying, “[It’s] nothing to tap dance around. It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again.”
He added, “If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new [Infowars] stuff. I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.”
While it remains to be seen whether the former friends will reconcile, Ye’s public reflection and Pusha’s lyrical honesty suggest that the door to dialogue may not be entirely closed.
