Pusha T Ends Friendship with Kanye West, Cites 2021 Rift

Pusha T has publicly confirmed that his friendship and professional relationship with Kanye West have ended, stemming from tensions that began during the 2021 "Donda" album sessions and worsened after Kanye's controversial public behavior, including antisemitic remarks. Despite acknowledging Kanye's genius and musical intuition, Pusha T expressed deep personal disappointment, stating Kanye knows he no longer respects him as a man due to perceived weaknesses and calculated disruption. Pusha T also revealed feelings of isolation within Kanye’s camp, citing conflicting agendas and a breakdown in trust. While Kanye recently expressed missing their friendship, Pusha T remains firm that their relationship cannot be repaired, emphasizing that Kanye's recent antics and industry maneuvers undermined their bond. Additionally, Pusha T highlighted Kanye's business integrity in returning profits owed from the Good Music/Def Jam deal, even as Pusha now has issues with Def Jam over a Kendrick Lamar verse related to a lawsuit. Pusha T and his brother No Malice are focusing on their reunion as Clipse with a new album, distancing themselves from Kanye’s turmoil.
