Consequence ripped into Pusha T during a heated interview, accusing the Clipse rapper of hypocrisy and calling out his public fallout with Kanye West by reading alleged private messages on air.
The Queens-born rapper began by addressing Pusha’s recent GQ interview, where Pusha said, “He knows I don’t think he’s a man. He knows it. And that’s why we can’t build with each other no more.”
Consequence fired back, questioning Pusha’s integrity and motives.
“One of the reasons why we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer’ is because the sound bite of the summer was ‘I don’t respect Kanye as a man’ performed by — and I’mma emphasise ‘performed’ by — Pusha T and his brother Malice, known as the Clipse,” he said during a recent appearance on Hot97.
He then asked the host to read out alleged group chat messages from 2021 between himself, West and Pusha, revealing a more vulnerable side of West.
In the messages, West expressed emotional pain over Pusha’s “The Story of Adidon” track targeting Drake.
“In the diss record to Drake, you still not 100 percent in the right with me,” West purportedly wrote. “Even though he should not have spoke on your wife. You not perfect either. The record still caused me mental harm, so that meant when you shot, you hit me and my family also. We have to protect my brain at all cost, because I have the vision. It’s accountability, you not wrong but you not 100 percent right either.”
Pusha allegedly responded with an apology, writing, “Yeah I agree, I’m not perfect… I never learned how to turn the other cheek when disrespected. It’s how I was raised. Martin Luther King wasn’t respected in my house either. Hurting you or your family wasn’t my intention. Protecting my family and the brand that was the only mission. Sorry for any trauma caused by me.”
Consequence used the apology to question the authenticity of Pusha’s current stance.
“So, where I’m from, if you’re willing to apologize to someone, that would mean that you respect them, right?” he said. “So if you’re running a whole rollout based on not respecting someone and you’re a man, but you know you already apologized to this man, then are you being honest with your base? Are you being honest to the world? Is this a real feeling or is this contrived for marketing?”
He didn’t stop there. Consequence even suggested Pusha might not respect his own brother, No Malice, saying, “maybe it’s whatever for fame.”
Before storming out of the studio, he made one final statement: “So, I’mma say this and then I’mma leave. I’m outside. Anybody got anything to say to me, you can take your brother out the pulpit and find me in the streets.”
While Pusha T hasn’t responded to Consequence, Drake liked a repost of the video on Instagram.
