Pusha T and Kanye West's tough bond is hot talk again as Clipse plans to drop their much-awaited album, Let God Sort Em Out. The buzz grew more when some private texts between Pusha T and Ye came out, making fans and people in the music field guess more.
In an interview with Complex, Pusha T was open about the leaked texts, making it clear there's more to the story with Kanye West than what others see. As Clipse gets ready to return to the limelight, this new stress with Ye adds more drama to a comeback that's already catching a lot of attention. This reminds us how mixed personal past and music biz politics can get.
A text, said to be from Pusha T, shows a harsh view of his anger. He is upset not just with Kanye West but also with the mixed mess of trust and backstabbing in the industry. In this message, Pusha T backs up his choice to release a diss track, stating he was hit first and faced mean digs at his wife, a move he sees as over the line.
He also points at Kanye West's issues, claiming he let Drake mock his family freely, hinting that this lack of respect may be why there are more troubles behind the scenes.
The words go past Kanye too; they move into likening him with others, pushing away any match with Shyne's holy new look and tossing a sharp hit at Diddy's old tie to Jennifer Lopez.
Under the hard words lies a sour hint of being let down as Pusha T suggests that he's been there for Kanye for many years just to be left feeling used.
The text reads:
"I put out the song because he dissed me and mentioned my wife in a song… U let Drake disrespect you, your wife, and your family...that's why u can't get your wife to respect u. Don't blame me Kanye… I would never she at anybody for you, you would snitch on me… Shyne changed his name to Moses and turned Je, ...Pls don't compare me to him. Puff was better off without JLo she was a whr. ?... I've held you down and u don't appreciate me…"
When Pusha T was asked about the text leaks, he was quick to close any talk that he was the one who did it. He waved it off as just one more small event in a list of minor things that have come up in his past with Kanye West.
Talking openly in the conversation, Pusha T made it clear that he does not like to play tricks in hidden ways. He stood firm that he has never been one to show private texts or mix up drama like that. "Some more other corny sh*t," he said, keeping away from the drama.
For him, there's a line he won't cross, no leaks, no gossip, no secret tricks. He even dared people to look other places, hinting that true answers are with those who love to share what should stay hidden. In his words:
"You ain't ever see it from me. I don't leak, nothin', I don't tell, nothin, I ain't ever done it man. You got to ask the guys who do that."

In a new twist, Pusha T said he did not share the big news himself but he knows who did. He said:
"Oh, I know exactly who leaked it. But they have to have nothing else moving or shaking. They need to do something. I don’t have to leak anything, man. You know, people crazy."
He hinted that this person might not have much else good in their life and wanted the spotlight. Pusha T chose to stay out of the mess, making it clear he does not have to cause drama to stay known.
When Kanye West used social media to say he missed the days with Pusha T at his side, Pusha T quickly made it clear their old bond was gone for good. Staying true to his direct way, he spoke to West's words openly, seeing the feeling there, but made it clear that some ties, once cut, stay cut.
His answer not only concluded the speculations of them coming back together, it showed how Pusha T now deals with the tough mix of faith and team work in the music world. His sharp words were said right after he made a strong reply to Kanye West's open words about missing their friendship.
Pusha T gave a response that was a mix of ignoring with a bit of irony. He said yes, he'd miss someone like him too. He expressed:
"I don't care about that at all. It's fine. I would miss me, too. I really would."
For him, old trust does not mean they will work together again; now, he wants to make ties based on shared trust and steady ways, not just fame or past deeds. This strong stance he has taken shows a deeper trend in hip-hop, where keeping true to one's values and friends is worth more than any big deal or big news reunion.
He went on to say why he won't go back to their broken friendship, making it clear he won't risk his work or trust for anyone who can't stick to their word. For Pusha T, staying true to others is a must. He's got strong bonds with his brother and Pharrell, and he's keeping to his values, which he thinks are missing in the music world. In his words:
"I'm not in a position to where I can even risk and gamble with the wishy- washiness or the lack of loyalty. I don't play like that. Why would I ever dive back into that type of scenario? I’m with my brother and Pharrell, come on. I don't even understand that lack of principles just amongst people you call your brother. I don't get that. That's not for me."
When Pusha T first teamed up with Kanye West during the making of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, an album known as one of Kanye's best, it started a team-up that seemed meant to be. They worked well together not just to make hits; they pushed each other to go past their limits in ways that went over the line of just music.
For Pusha T, this was not just a step up in his job, but a way into Kanye's tight creative group. Being in this group meant more chances and reach. But with this chance came things not said out loud, being loyal, lining up with each other, and the need to deal with Kanye West's hard to guess ideas.
Together, they made top songs that built their names in hip-hop. Yet, under the bright shine of success, small creaks started to show. The trust that pushed their bold ideas would soon become a point of stress, as personal fights and changing sides slowly made their creative bond into a field where goals hit against each other.
