American rapper Pusha T has ignited a fiery new controversy in the hip-hop world, claiming in a diss track that fellow rapper Travis Scott once cried in front of him after being dumped by reality star and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner. The track, which has stirred considerable buzz on social media, includes a direct reference to the alleged emotional moment, suggesting that Pusha T has video evidence of the incident.
The 48-year-old Virginia-born lyricist released a snippet of the diss track via his Instagram account on Tuesday, launching a full-blown lyrical assault on the 34-year-old Houston rapper. The song appears to mark a new chapter in their brewing feud, pulling in personal moments and industry politics.
“You cried in front of me, you died in front of me. Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me. I got the video I can share and AE it, I can’t unsee it, lucky I ain’t TMZ it,” Pusha T rapped, suggesting he withheld the footage from the media out of restraint.
The lyrics have quickly gone viral, prompting widespread discussion across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok. While Travis Scott has not yet publicly responded to the diss, fans of both artists are taking sides, further intensifying the tension.
In a recent GQ interview, Pusha T shed more light on the origins of the dispute, labeling Travis Scott as “corny” and lacking loyalty—a trait Pusha T says violates his principles.
The Clipse rapper recalled an incident in Paris where Scott allegedly interrupted his studio session to play the original version of the track Meltdown, which included a now-deleted verse by Drake. When the song was later released, Drake’s verse had been cut, a move that reportedly upset Pusha T and contributed to the growing animosity.
“He don’t have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He’ll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot,” Pusha T stated.
Adding fuel to the fire, Pusha T criticized Scott for joining Future and Metro Boomin on stage in 2023 to preview Like That, a song whose viral Kendrick Lamar verse helped reignite tensions between Kendrick and Drake. This action, in Pusha T’s view, represented yet another example of Travis Scott’s opportunistic industry behavior.
The diss track is part of a broader wave of rap feuds and lyrical battles that have dominated the U.S. music scene in 2025, with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Future, and others drawing lines in the sand over loyalty, creative ownership, and industry politics.
For Travis Scott, who has been relatively private about his split from Kylie Jenner—the mother of his two children—this public airing of a deeply personal moment could prove damaging. The couple’s on-again, off-again relationship had long been under media scrutiny, but this is the first time a fellow celebrity has made such an intimate and pointed claim about Scott’s emotional state post-breakup.
As the hip-hop world waits to see if Scott will fire back with a diss of his own, industry insiders say this conflict could escalate into one of the biggest rap beefs of the year. Pusha T’s sharp lyricism and penchant for brutally honest bars have already earned him a reputation as a fearsome rival—most notably seen in his previous battles with Drake.
While Scott’s team has yet to comment officially, fans speculate that his silence may indicate legal caution or a strategic media approach. With reputations, fan loyalty, and potential collaborations at stake, how he chooses to respond could either defuse or escalate the drama.
Final Thoughts: Fame, Loyalty, and the Cost of Vulnerability
Pusha T’s explosive claims not only bring to light the ongoing tensions in the music industry but also highlight the increasingly blurred lines between personal vulnerability and public entertainment. His assertion that he has withheld the video out of respect—or for strategic release—hints at the evolving power dynamics in celebrity culture, where personal moments can become career weapons.
Whether Travis Scott retaliates in music or maintains his silence, this latest chapter adds a dramatic twist to the ever-unfolding saga of fame, loyalty, and heartbreak in hip-hop.
