Travis Scott Responds To Pusha T Dissing Him

Travis Scott has finally fired back at Pusha T‘s flurry of shots on the Clipse‘s Let God Sort Em Out and throughout the album rollout.

On the single “So Be It,” Pusha spent his entire final verse taunting his former G.O.O.D. Music collaborator, rapping: “You cried in front of me, you died in front of me / Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me / Her Utopia had moved right up the street / And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat.”

He also alluded to possessing incriminating footage of La Flame, spitting: “The ‘net gon’ call it the way that they see it / But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it / They wouldn’t believe it, but I can’t unsee it / Lucky I ain’t TMZ it.”

In an interview with GQ last summer shortly before the release of Let God Sort Em Out, Pusha T elaborated on his issues with Travis Scott, who he accused of intentionally omitting Drake‘s verse on “Meltdown” (which contained shots at Pharrell) while playing Utopia during a Clipse and Pharrell studio session in Paris that he had “interrupted.”

“He’s smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his fucking monkey dance,” he said. “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.’ He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”

Pusha added: “[I was 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 … He’s a whore.”

In a cover story for Rolling Stone published on Wednesday (January 21), Travis Scott disputed Pusha T’s version of events, saying: “When you go back and look at it … it’s crazy. N*ggas said I had a film crew [with me]. I’m like, ‘What?’

“I remember when I pulled up, it was them n*ggas that had a film crew. I’m talking about the little microphone on the stick and all of that. I was like, ‘Oh, shit. Am I in a documentary?’”

The Cactus Jack founder also addressed Pusha’s grievances with “Meltdown,” insisting that Drake’s verse hadn’t yet come in when he played them his album.

“A lot of shit [Pusha] was saying just didn’t make sense to me,” he added. “It was like he was saying I was interrupting shit and I was playing them shit. First of all, I can’t interrupt something that somebody [Pharrell] asked me to come pull up on.”

“So when I hear that type of shit, it’s just like, I don’t know, man. If you got to drop Trav name for the rollout, so be it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Travis Scott cited Iggy Pop and Ozzy Osbourne as inspirations, explained why doesn’t care about critics trashing his music, and briefly spoke about his next album.

“[I’m] putting my whole body and soul into the next [project], for more people to understand,” he said. “[For] the person that still don’t understand Trav, no matter how long I’ve been in this shit.”
