Pusha T Denies He Only Raps About Drug Dealing

Pusha T has hit back at critics who say he only raps about drug dealing.
Appearing on the Joe & Jada Podcast, the Clipse rapper was posed the question that his lyrics focus too much on drugs.


Pusha hit back by saying: "You can't please everybody but 23 years in this, I'm not tryna please nobody but myself, that's what I care about. I know that my taste, my ear, and what it is that I wanna hear that resonates with that type of person, that's the type of person I wanna talk to."
He added: "The person who says that... man, I'm sure I don't even gel with you anyway. I'm positive I don't like you. I take it with a grain of salt, but more importantly I know who my family is."

Pusha has made waves in recent weeks for comments he has made about Travis Scott.


In an interview with Ebro on Apple Music, one half of the Clipse further explained how his issues with Scott stem from when he interrupted a recording session with Pharrell in Paris.













He said: "I just thought it was disrespectful. We don't even want you here to be honest. We're not here to hobnob with any rappers and I personally don't like rappers who don't rap. I don't wanna hear that. I don't want it.
"So to come and interrupt the session and do something backhanded and not for nothing but I done had to put my arm around you before but to go along with the title - so be it - he does this numerous times. He'll do it with his mentor, Ye."


Pusha continued: "He was even instrumental in the whole beef now. The 'Like That' verse, egging that on. I don't want nobody who don't rap to egg nothing on. You don't rap, stay out of rappers' business. You specifically, stay out of rappers' business. Don't do that."



He also called out Scott for showing a lack of loyalty towards Kanye West: "I've already dealt with the lack of loyalty [to his] mentor, the guy he looks up to. I've been dealing with the corny shit that goes along with them. So it's like, I'm in a whole 'nother place. Don't bring that over to bring that over to my house. I just wanted you to have that true context, man...and honestly, Frazier, you got to realize I've really been in Paris. I've really been making my joints. I've really been doing my shit."
