Hunter Biden’s comparison of crack to alcohol drew a response from Pusha T, whose rap career has long revolved around the realities of cocaine.

Hunter Biden stirred the pot with a comparison between crack cocaine and alcohol during a new interview, prompting a one-word reaction from Pusha T that lit up social media.

In a sit-down with Andrew Callaghan for Channel 5, Biden opened up about his past drug use, his father’s decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race and his own legal battles.

But it was his remarks about crack cocaine that sparked the most chatter.

“Does crack cocaine make you act any differently? No, is it safer than alcohol? Probably,” Biden said. He argued that the physical effects of crack were less dangerous than the environments he had to enter to obtain it.

“You can go to your neighborhood convenience store. I don’t want to tell people how to make crack cocaine,” he added.

Biden also said he was drinking heavily while using crack, calling alcohol the “most harmful substance” he had ever encountered. He emphasized the combined toll of both addictions.

Beyond the health concerns, Biden addressed how crack is perceived in society.

“People think of crack as being dirty,” he said. “It’s the exact opposite. When you make crack, what you’re doing is you’re burning off all the impurities so that it combined with the sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokable.”

The quote quickly made its way to Pusha T, who responded on X with a one-word post: “Deep.”

The Clipse rapper’s reaction carried weight, considering his long history of referencing cocaine and crack in his music.

Alongside his brother Malice, Clipse built a reputation for vivid, coded narratives about drug dealing and street life.

Their albums, Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury and their latest, Let God Sort Em Out, are often cited as Hip-Hop staples thanks to their detailed depictions of the cocaine trade.

Tracks like “Keys Open Doors” have become synonymous with Clipse’s lyrical focus on the drug game.

Social media users quickly weighed in on Pusha T’s “deep” remark, with some praising his restraint and others dissecting the irony of the moment, given his lyrical legacy.

“You probably served him back in the day and didn’t even know,” one user wrote. “I didn’t know Hunter was on the Clipse album roll out.. Respect bringing this authentic crack connoisseur,” another added.
