Kanye West Gives Update On Pusha T Relationship After Antisemitic Friction

Kanye
West
has
offered
fans
an
update
on
his
relationship
with

Pusha
T
after
the

Clipse
rapper
departed
G.O.O.D.
Music
on
not-so-amicable
terms
in
late
2022.

Speaking
on
Justin
Laboy’s

The
Download
podcast,
Kanye
addressed
his
friendship
with
his
longtime
collaborator
and
one-time
G.O.O.D.
Music
president.

“I
just
spoke
with
Pusha
the
other
day.
It
was
good
to
talk
to
him.
It
was
the
first
time
talking
to
him
in
a
couple
months.
We
made
good
music
together,”
he
said.

The
father
of
four
seemed
to
suggest
that
he
felt
betrayed
by
Pusha
for
not
supporting
him
during
his

bitter
divorce
and
custody
battle
with
ex-wife
Kim
Kardashian,
but
has
since
changed
his
mindset.

“I
thought
that
somehow
because
I
made
beats
and
made
music
for
somebody
that
when
I
couldn’t
see
my
children,
these
people
would
use
their
platform.
‘Cause
I
used
my
platform
on
their
behalf,”
he
added.

“Now
I
realize
no
one
owes
me
anything
[…]
If
you
depend
on
somebody
who
is
not
giving
you
what
you
need,
you’re
the
one
that’s
in
the
wrong.”

When
announcing
his
exit
from
G.O.O.D.
Music,

Pusha
T
criticized
Kanye
West’s
antisemitic
comments
and
affiliation
with
far-right
figures
such
as
Alex
Jones
and
Nick
Fuentes.

“It’s
beyond
that
and
it’s
nothing
to
tap
dance
around.
It’s
wrong.
Period,”
he
told


XXL.
“But
to
me,
it’s
just
me
and
him
having
a
difference
of
opinion
yet
again.
’Cause
we
done
had
this
for
years.”

He
added:
“He’s
not
speaking
to
me
now.
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
stuff
[on

InfoWars].

“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.”

The

expressed
disappointment
at

bitter
rival

who
he
famously
beefed
with
in

vibing
out
to
a
Pusha

performance
at
Jerry

fashion
in
Los

The
pair
have
yet
to
release
music
together
since
Pusha’s
2022
album


It’s
Almost
Dry,
which
Ye
produced
alongside

Pharrell.
