In a sudden surge of rap drama, Pusha T has publicly slammed rapper Travis Scott, calling him “a whore” in the closing verse of Clipse’s new single “So Be It”, igniting debate across the hip‑hop community.

The barbed diss unfolds over a dark, intense beat produced by Pharrell Williams, closing the track with deeply personal accusations. Pusha’s disdain stems from a recent incident in Paris, where he claims Scott played a version of his album Utopia for Pharrell—but notably excluded Drake’s controversial verse dissing Pharrell on the track “Meltdown”.

In a follow‑up interview with GQ, Pusha explained his sharp critique as a response to Travis’s frequent shifts in alliances—most recently seen on tracks like “Sicko Mode” and at live shows where he appeared to side with Future and Metro Boomin. According to Pusha, Travis’s habit of staying neutral or leaping between rap camps—Kanye vs. Drake, Pharrell vs. Drake—reveals a lack of loyalty. He claims:

“He’ll do this with anybody. …To me, that really was just like…he’s a whore.”

He went on to denounce the behavior as more than career strategy—it’s personal and principle-driven.

Pusha framed the beef as rooted in respect: artists who rise and fall together deserve honesty, not strategic neutrality. He emphasized that Travis’s switch to display Pharrell’s praises but omit Drake’s controversial verse felt like a betrayal. “Here’s the principle of it,” he told GQ, “That filthy quality … that lack of loyalty. Travis really has that. He’s proven.”   

Social media erupted with opinions. Some fans supported Pusha’s stance, arguing Travis’s neutrality is opportunistic. Others, like DJ Akademiks, questioned whether Pusha had his facts straight, suggesting Travis may simply have shared an earlier version of “Meltdown” before Drake’s verse was added — not an intentional slight. But heated fan debates show Pusha’s point resonated across platforms, even within Travis’s own subreddit where some agreed: the accusation hit home.

In a single verse, Pusha T reignited long-standing rap rivalries—this time aimed at Travis Scott. But beneath the shock value lies a deeper critique on loyalty, artistry, and integrity in hip‑hop. With Clipse’s full album Let God Sort Em Out due July 11, fans are already speculating whether more direct barbs lie ahead—or if Travis will respond.
