Hip-Hop star Pusha T isn’t letting a Grammy loss to K-Dot slow down The Clipse.
The Virginia duo lost Best Rap Album to Kendrick Lamar at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Lamar won for his acclaimed album GNX.
Clipse earned the nomination for Let God Sort Em Out, their first full-length project in more than a decade. The album marked a major return for Pusha T and No Malice.
Despite missing out on the trophy, Pusha remains hungry for more Grammy recognition.
“We’ll be back,” he said. “I wanted them all, to be honest.”
His comments came while discussing the lengthy campaign surrounding the Grammy Awards. Pusha also offered an unfiltered look at what artists endure while seeking votes.
“You kiss so much ass the whole year,” he said. “Like, you go everywhere.”
He added, “Wherever the Academy wants you to be at, you be there.”
For Pusha, Grammy consideration involves much more than releasing a celebrated album. Artists spend months attending events, meeting industry figures and making themselves visible.
That reality added another layer to Clipse’s Grammy run. Let God Sort Em Out represented more than the duo’s return to music.
Pusha T and No Malice spent years pursuing separate creative paths. Their reunion brought Clipse back into hip-hop’s center while introducing their sound to another generation.
Hip-Hop Star Pusha T Has No Hard Feelings About The Clipse Losing Grammy Award To Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar ultimately claimed the category with GNX. His victory added another Grammy to an already decorated career.
Still, Pusha isn’t treating the loss as a defeat that defines Clipse’s comeback. Instead, his response suggests the duo has unfinished business.
The Grammy nomination itself validated the impact of Let God Sort Em Out. It also demonstrated that Clipse’s influence remains significant across hip-hop.
Pusha’s candid comments also exposed the less glamorous side of awards season. Behind every nomination sits a sustained campaign for attention and votes.
Yet his message remains simple: Clipse plans to return.
“We’ll be back,” Pusha reiterated.
For a group that waited years to reunite, the Grammy loss may become another chapter. The next Clipse era could already be taking shape.
