Pusha T slams Travis Scott over loyalty: The diss targets Scott’s history of neutrality in rap battles, calling him opportunistic

“You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/ Calabasas took your bi**h and your pride in front of me/ 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.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Pusha T slams Travis Scott over loyalty: The diss targets Scott’s history of neutrality in rap battles, calling him opportunistic.
Beef stems from “Meltdown” incident: In 2023, Travis played Pharrell, Pusha, and Malice a version of “Meltdown” in Paris that omitted Drake’s verse—which dissed Pharrell—only to release the full version later.
Lyrics call out Scott’s ex and Utopia: Push raps about “Calabasas took your b—h…and her lip gloss was poppin’,” referencing Kylie Jenner and Travis’s Utopia era.
Pusha calls out principle over pettiness: He stressed the diss is about loyalty, not attention. He labeled Scott a “whore” for being inconsistent in allegiances.
Clipse's comeback context: This is their second single since reuniting—first release since 2009—on Let God Sort Em Out, dropping July 11 via Roc Nation.

🧭 What Pusha T Said (via GQ)

In a recent GQ Hype interview, Pusha detailed the Paris session:

Paris meeting: “Travis came to Pharrell’s studio at Louis Vuitton HQ…played us the album—but skipped Drake’s verse… then dropped it later.”
On being “Switzerland”: Travis, according to Pusha, “always stays neutral,” hopping between sides for clout (Drake, Ye, Kendrick), including on “Sicko Mode.”
Principle over petty beef: Push emphasized it’s not personal—it’s about “the principle of loyalty and integrity.”

“He was on the [Rolling Loud] stage like, ‘Play that, play that!’ 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.”
