Ye (formerly Kanye West) misses the G.O.O.D. times.
Yeezy took to X on Friday (May 30), extending an olive branch to his former right-hand collaborator, Pusha T, after King Push name-dropped West on the new Clipse single.
“I miss me and Pusha’s friendship,” Ye wrote of his ex-G.O.O.D. Music president. West seemed to get wind of Pusha’s jab at him on the Pharrell-produced “Ace Trumpets,” which is the lead single from Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out album.
“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 Virginia native raps.
Pusha T stood in West’s corner for years before reaching his breaking point and distanced himself from G.O.O.D. Music and Ye in 2022 after a series of controversial statements surrounding antisemitism and political affiliations from West were too much to bear.
“[It’s] nothing to tap dance around. It’s wrong. Period,” Push told XXL in 2022. “But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again.”
He continued: “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.”
Pusha T joined the G.O.O.D. Music family in 2010 and remained with the label through his 2022 album It’s Almost Dry. Ye produced the entirety of his 2018 Daytona album, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. West also helmed half the production of It’s Almost Dry, while Pharrell held down the other half.
It remains to be seen if Ye and Push can make amends in the coming months. Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out album drops on July 11.
