Pusha T Explains Why He Dissed Travis Scott On New Clipse Song 'So Be It'

Clipse just dropped a new banger, and Pusha T doesn't hold anything back in his vicious verse aimed at Travis Scott.

On Tuesday, June 17, the Virginia natives debuted their new single "So Be It," produced by Pharrell Williams, from their upcoming album Let God Sort Em Out. Toward the end of the track, Push unleashes scathing bars that tear into Scott without even mentioning his name.

"You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/Calabasas took your b***h and your pride in front of me," Push spits. "Heard Utopia had moved right up the street/And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat."

"The 'net gon' call it the way that they see it/But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it," he continues. "They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it/Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it."

In an interview with GQ, Pusha T explained that Scott's song "Meltdown" featuring Drake inspired the verse. The track's title stems from Drizzy's problematic line, in which he raps about melting down Pharrell's old jewelry he bought from the producer's auction site a couple of years ago. “Melt down the chains that I bought from your boss, give a f**k about all of that heritage s**t," Drake raps on the song that appears on UTOPIA. The bar was aimed at both Push and his good friend Pharrell, but Scott didn't play Drake's part when he played the record for Pharrell and the Clipse before it came out.

“The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album," Push explained. "He came to [Pharrell’s] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session. He sees me and Malice there. He's like, ‘Oh, man, everybody's here,’ he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f**king monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]. And then a week later you hear ‘Meltdown,’ which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”

“He's done this a lot," he continued. "He has no picks. He'll do this with anybody. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’... He don't have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He'll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot. But you can play those games with those people…We're not in your mix. Keep your mix over there.”

Pusha T also explained that he basically removed himself from Scott and Ye's circle over the years, especially after he ended his affiliation with G.O.O.D. Music. “So, that's where my issue comes in—like, dawg, don't even come over here with that, because at the end of the day, I don't play how y'all play. To me, that really was just like…he's a whore. He's a whore.”

“When these people mention me, they're really going out of their way," Push added. "What have I done besides wear clothes, bro, in the past couple of years? It's like these people are going out of their way. Somebody brought 'Meltdown' to my house. To P's house, actually… I mean, I don't give a f**k. P don't give a damn. But it's like… It's the principle of it."

“It's the principle of what I'm saying," he concluded. "That filthy quality that they have about themselves, that lack of loyalty. Travis really has that. He's proven. I just named three people that he does that type of behavior with. I'm just not one of them. Dog, I ain't with that. This s**t ain't coming out of nowhere. Bro, I be cool with all these guys. Everybody you mentioned today, bro, I promise you they did the underhanded, weird s**t.”

"So Be It" is the second single from Clipse's first studio album in 15 years. Let God Sort Em Out drops July 11.
