pusha-t-complex

Pusha T is in the latest issue of Complex, which sees him (mainly) speaking against mass incarceration and social justice for minorities in the face of President-Elect Trump (still hard to say that). He also spoke on that Drake diss:

When I tell Pusha I need to ask him about “last night,” there’s no need to elaborate. He drops his head, takes a peek at his fresh-out-of-the-box, white-on-white Raf Simons Adidas, chuckles, and replies, “You need that energy, man.” He laughs again. He’s not reacting—he looks like he’s plotting.

“I heard something,” he says, simultaneously playful and dismissive, when I ask him again about “Two Birds, One Stone” and the Internet chatter that Drake’s lines were directed at Pusha, questioning the street bona fides of his past. “I would never, ever attribute that [song] to myself. My past is cemented. My past happened. Like slavery happened. The Holocaust happened. You can’t ever question anything that has actually happened.”

“Listen,” he says. “I’m not speaking to him at all. I’m telling you, the real of it is: It ain’t real if it’s about me.”
