Ye Says He Misses Pusha T’s ‘Friendship’ After Being Name-Dropped in New Clipse Song
In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West (Ye) has publicly expressed his longing for a renewed friendship with Pusha T following a mention in the Clipse’s latest track, “Ace Trumpets.” The song, which marks the duo’s first release in over a decade, features a line that references Ye, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and industry insiders alike.
The Clipse’s “Ace Trumpets” and the Ye Mention
Released on May 30, 2025, “Ace Trumpets” serves as the lead single from Clipse’s upcoming album, Let God Sort Em Out, slated for release on July 11. In the track, Pusha T delivers a poignant line:
“Look at them, him and him, still waiting on Yeezy / I hope you got your squeegee / Heard your interviews, I just kee kee, life’s peachy.”
This lyric subtly references Kanye West, reigniting discussions about their past collaborations and the complexities of their relationship.
Ye’s Response: A Desire for Reconnection
In the wake of the song’s release, Kanye West took to social media to share his feelings. He posted:
“I miss my brother Pusha. Time and distance have a way of making you realize what truly matters.”
This public sentiment indicates a desire to mend fences and possibly rekindle their professional and personal bond.
A History of Collaboration and Strain
Kanye West and Pusha T have a long-standing history of collaboration. Pusha T served as the president of West’s G.O.O.D. Music label from 2015 until late 2022, when he stepped down following West’s controversial remarks. In a 2022 interview, Pusha T stated,
“I’m not tied with G.O.O.D. Music anymore in any way.”
Despite this, the two artists have occasionally shown signs of reconciliation. Notably, Kanye West attended a Fear of God fashion show in 2023 where Pusha T performed, and he was seen enjoying the performance, signaling a thawing of relations.
Looking Ahead
The release of “Ace Trumpets” and Kanye West’s subsequent comments suggest that both artists are open to revisiting their past collaborations. As Clipse prepares for the release of their new album, fans are hopeful that this renewed dialogue between Pusha T and Kanye West could lead to future projects together.
For now, the music world watches closely, eager to see how this dynamic unfolds and whether it will lead to a new chapter in the careers of both artists.
