Consequence Walks Out of Hot 97 Interview After Calling Out Pusha T Over Ye Beef: ‘I’m Outside’

Consequence has a message for his former G.O.O.D. Music labelmate Pusha T.

The Queens rapper stopped by Hot 97 recently to talk about the state of hip-hop with DJ Drewski by sharing alleged text messages from a group chat that apparently included himself, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), and the Virginia MC before sending Push a message and abruptly walking out of the interview, leaving Drewski stunned in a clip that has surfaced on social media captured by Glock Topickz on Twitter.

“Today we need to address what’s going on in hip-hop,” Cons proclaimed as the interview began. “Today I need to share with New York, with Hot 97, the home of hip-hop, and the rest of the world. … I’m really high with integrity and the truth, and this summer we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer.’”

The rapper said we didn’t have a song of summer because of Pusha T’s comments about the state of his relationship with Ye and accused Push of making those comments simply to help promote Let God Sort Em Out during the project’s rollout. “One of the reasons why we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer,’” he said, “Is because the sound bite of the summer was ‘I don’t respect Kanye as a man’ performed by — and I’mma emphasis ‘performed’ by — Pusha T and his brother Malice, known as the Clipse.”

Consequence then had DJ Drewski read the alleged text messages from the aforementioned group chat from around the time DONDA was released in 2021.

“In the diss record to Drake, you still not 100 percent in the right with me even though he should not have spoke on your wife,” Drewski read aloud, allegedly in messages from Ye. “You not perfect either. The record still caused me mental harm, so that meant when you shot, you hit me and my family also. We have to protect my brain at all cost, because I have the vision. It’s accountability, you not wrong but you not 100 percent right either.” 

“Yeah I agree, I’m not perfect…,” Pusha allegedly replied. “I never learned how to turn the other cheek when disrespected. It’s how I was raised. Martin Luther King wasn’t respected in my house either. Hurting you or your family wasn’t my intention. Protecting my family and the brand was the only mission. Sorry for any trauma caused by me.”

Consequence then went on to call the “Numbers on the Board” rapper hypocritical because he allegedly apologized to Ye even though Push has recently stated that he has no more respect for his former collaborator and friend.

“Right, so he apologized for basically dragging Kanye into the beef with Drake,” he said. “He actually said in his own words, ‘Sorry for any trauma I’ve caused you and your family.’ So, where I’m from, if you’re willing to apologize to someone, that would mean that you respect them, right? So if you’re running a whole rollout based on not respecting someone and you’re a man, but you know that you already apologized to this man, then are you being honest with your base? Are you being honest to the world? Is this a real feeling or is this contrived for marketing?”

He continued by comparing Push’s older brother Malice to Martin Luther King Jr., before goading both members of the Clipse to meet him “outside” and taking a shot at their drug-dealer rap personas.

“And another thing I wanna point out in the text is that he said, ‘Martin Luther King wasn’t respected in his household,’” he told Drewski. “From everything I’ve seen, isn’t Malice engulfed in the same scripture as Martin Luther King? And I heard homie say that he’s the devil and all this, so maybe you don’t respect your brother either. Maybe it’s whatever for fame, maybe it’s whatever to feel like you’re the top guy, but you know what makes you the top guy out here? A hit record.”

He added: “So, I’mma say this and I’mma leave, ‘I’m outside. Anybody got anything to say to me, you can take your brother out the pulpit and find me in the streets. I’m from the same streets as the Supreme Team, I’m from the same streets as Rick and Alpo and AZ, you know, real drug dealers. Remember those? One,’” before walking off.

Drewski posted a reel on his Instagram of himself standing behind a console as he awaits Consequence’s arrival with the text that says, “He doesn’t know it yet, but the guest he’s interviewing is going to get up and walk out.” And in the accompanying caption, the Hot 97 DJ and host wrote, “I’ve seen guests walk out in other interviews, but it was a first for me. N I didn’t even say anything wrong,” while later taking to the comments asking if he should put the interview out.”

As of right now, the interview’s YouTube link is set to private.

Push and Consequence’s issues go back to around 2011 when the latter accused the former of biting his rapping style while feuding with both Ye and Push at the time and dropping the diss track “The Plagurist Society.”
