In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Travis Scott addressed his rift with former G.O.O.D. Music labelmate, Pusha T.
The Virginia native had taken shots at Scott on a track titled “So Be It,” which appears on the Clipse’s Let God Sort It Out album. In the song, he directly called out Scott by making references to his Utopia project and his ex-girlfriend and child’s mother, Kylie Jenner. “You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me,” Pusha raps. “Her Utopia had moved right up the street/And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat.”
Prior to this, Drake, who’s had beef with Pusha T in the past, took shots at Pharrell Williams on a track called “Meltdown,” which is featured on Scott’s Utopia album. Williams has been a close collaborator and friend to the Daytona rapper for decades. Additionally, in several interviews, Pusha accused Travis—who’d stopped by a recording session where he, his brother Malice, and Pharrell were all present—of omitting Drake’s verse when he played it for the group. However, according to Travis, that’s not the case.
“If you got to drop Trav name for the rollout, so be it,” Scott Says
“When you go back and look at it … it’s crazy,” he told RS. “N*ggas said I had a film crew [with me]. I’m like, ‘What?’ I remember when I pulled up, it was them niggas that had a film crew.”He continued: “I’m talking about the little microphone on the stick and all of that. I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t. Am I in a documentary?’”
Regarding him allegedly omitting Drake’s verse, Travis claims the verse hadn’t come in yet, implying that he couldn’t have known what the Toronto rapper was going to say. “A lot of shit [Pusha] was saying just didn’t make sense to me. It was like he was saying I was interrupting sh*t and I was playing them shit.” The Rodeo rapper claims he’d been invited to the session by Pharrell directly.”
“First of all, I can’t interrupt something that somebody asked me to come pull up on,” he added. “So when I hear that type of shit, it’s just like, I don’t know, man. If you got to drop Trav name for the rollout, so be it.”
