In a shocking revelation, Pusha T has announced that he and the legendary hip-hop duo Clipse have been dropped by Def Jam over a controversial decision involving a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar. This dramatic turn of events comes as Clipse gears up to release their highly anticipated album, featuring none other than Lamar himself on June 11th.

In an exclusive interview, Pusha T recounted the intense negotiations with the label, revealing that Def Jam pressured him to ask Kendrick to censor his verse on the upcoming track—a demand he flatly refused. “They wanted me to ask Kendrick to censor his verse, which of course I was never doing,” Pusha stated, highlighting the absurdity of the label’s concerns. After a month of back-and-forth, the label’s frustration led to a decisive break: “We’ll just drop the Clipse,” Pusha recalled the lawyer saying, ultimately resulting in Def Jam cutting ties with both him and the duo.

This bold move by Def Jam raises eyebrows: was it worth losing two iconic artists over one collaboration? The music world is buzzing with anticipation as fans brace for the release. Will Kendrick’s feature elevate the Clipse’s comeback, or will this decision haunt Def Jam in the long run? As the stakes rise, the industry watches closely. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story, and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments. The future of Pusha T and Clipse is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the drama in the world of hip-hop is far from over.
