Consequence is once again putting Pusha T in his crosshairs—this time accusing the Virginia rapper of using Kanye West’s name as promo fuel for Clipse’s new album Let God Sort Em Out.
The Queens native sat down with DJ Drewski on Hot 97, where Pusha’s recent “I don’t respect Kanye as a man” comments resurfaced. According to Cons, the jab at Ye did more damage than good.
“One of the reasons why we didn’t have a song of the summer,” Consequence argued, “is because the soundbite of the summer was, ‘I don’t respect Kanye as a man,’ performed by Pusha T and Malice.”
To back his point, Consequence had Drewski read alleged text messages from a 2021 group chat between himself, Pusha T, and Kanye—dating back to the Donda era. In the texts, Ye allegedly told Push he was hurt by how the Drake beef spilled over:
“The record still caused me mental harm, so that meant when you shot, you hit me and my family also.”
Push, in turn, allegedly acknowledged the fallout and issued an apology:
“Hurting you or your family wasn’t my intention. Protecting my family and the brand was the only mission. Sorry for any trauma caused by me.”
For Consequence, that apology undercuts Pusha’s rollout narrative.
“Where I’m from, if you’re willing to apologize to someone, that would mean you respect them,” he said. “So if you’re running a rollout based on not respecting someone, but you know you already apologized, are you being honest with your base? Or is this contrived for marketing?”
Cons didn’t stop there—he questioned Push’s integrity, even throwing Malice’s faith into the mix: “From everything I’ve seen, isn’t Malice engulfed in the same scripture as Martin Luther King? Maybe you don’t respect your brother either.”
The interview ended with Consequence escalating things even further, seemingly daring Pusha T to see him outside. “I’m from the same streets as the Supreme Team. I’m from the same streets as Rich and Alpo and AZ. Real drug dealers. Remember those? One.” He then walked out of the studio.
Consequence has long been in Ye’s corner, credited on The College Dropout and Late Registration. His issues with Push go back over a decade, when he accused the Virginia rapper of stealing his style in 2011.
