Pusha T has revealed that he is no longer affiliated with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music record label.
Pusha joined the label in 2010, and his last project, “It’s Almost Dry”, was released under the outfit.
When explicitly asked in an interview with XXL if he was still the president of the company – a role he assumed in 2015 – , Pusha T responded, “No, I’m not.”
The interviewer then asked him to clarify that he’s “not tied with G.O.O.D. Music anymore in any way,” and the rapper confirmed that’s the case.
The company’s parent label, Def Jam, ended its business relationship with G.O.O.D. in late October and clarified that its working relationship with West ended in 2021.
The rapper told the publication that he hasn’t spoken to West since he articulated his disappointment with him in a November interview. “I was still on tour. I just expressed myself. I express myself to him a lot. He expressed his thoughts to me,” he said.
“And he got off the phone saying, ‘Thank you. I know you don’t agree with me, but you never kill me in the public. And some people can’t wait to do that.’”
When asked about West’s appearances on far-right shows and podcasts, he responded that it was “nothing to tap dance around. It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again.”
“He’s not speaking to me now,” Pusha T said of West in the XXL interview. “If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff [on InfoWars]. I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.”
During the InfoWars episode to which Pusha T referred, West made a number of disturbing and hateful remarks while praising Adolf Hitler and Nazis.
