Cam’ron mocked Scottie Pippen over a report about the former NBA champion’s ex-wife Larsa Pippen, who allegedly secured a cut of the basketball great’s retirement plan.
Killa Cam said Scottie Pippen gave the Dipset member O.J. Simpson vibes in an Instagram post on Wednesday (June 21). Cam’ron taunted the Basketball Hall of Famer in reaction to aRadar Online story, which revealed divorce settlement details. The report claimed Larsa Pippen received 50 percent of her ex-husband’s 401k from his playing career with the Chicago Bulls.
“Nah we gotta watch scotty he on a mission!!” Cam’ron wrote. “After having to give up half, he put on Black AF1’s?! (Tried to throw us off with the bubble gum bottom…nahhh homie) Spotted at the airport carousel? N###as better check that bag he getting. #Beware Scotty giving me #OJvibes.”
Cam’ron and Ma$e previously clowned Scottie Pippen on an episode of their sports talk show It Is What It Is. The rappers laughed at Scottie Pippen for discrediting Michael Jordan’s career after MJ’s son Marcus Jordan started dating Larsa Pippen.
“He aging bad off this s###!” Killa Cam said regarding Scottie Pippen. “His skin is starting to get craters and s###. This s### is f###### him up!”

Ne-Yo was reportedly hit with a $3 million lien in back taxes from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). According to Radar Online, the singer and producer responsible for songs by Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Beyoncé, Mario, New Kids on The Block, Pitbull and so many more, owes the government $3,166,811.68 for the year 2020. Though the hits are still coming in, Ne-Yo—whose estimated net worth is $9 million— simply can’t keep up with his finances.
This IRS lien is separate from the lien he and his ex-wife Crystal Smith received from Crowe Custom Countertops. The company claims the couple never paid them for work they commissioned on their Alpharetta, Georgia property and the $4,000 lien they received from the City of Atlanta.
For years, Ne-Yo has been openly voicing his financial woes, as noted by AfroTech. Last year he said he “lost approximately $400,000 in wages associated with public appearances, professional bookings and promotional efforts related to the promotion of his new musical project” because of unfavorable interviews with TMZ and television producer Carlos King.
His financial insecurity comes only a few years after the recording artist was able to get $6.4 million from his accountant and business manager, Kevin Foster. In 2019, Foster was found guilty of a slew of white-collar crimes including wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion by the Department of Justice. In addition to paying Ne-Yo, Foster also paid $151,675 to another singer, Brian McKnight.

Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave took to social media to celebrate the 35-year prison sentence handed to podcaster Daryl “Taxstone” Campbell yesterday (June 20).
Although he’s preparing to serve time in prison for his role in the Irving Plaza incident, it seems clear that Troy Ave views the outcome of the Taxstone trial as a victory.
So much so that Troy Ave is trolling Tax by selling merchandise emblazoned with the podcaster’s face superimposed over a basketball player wearing a jersey with the words “Prison City” over the number 35. In addition to the merch, Troy is also planning on dropping a brand new album Friday and is asking fans to name it for him.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CtwpO_DOnk6/?hl=en
Taxstone’s three-decade prison sentence marks the end of a protracted trial stemming from a fatal shooting incident that occurred at a T.I. concert at Irving Plaza in 2016.
Seven years ago, a confrontation between Troy Ave and Taxstone escalated into a deadly shooting at the music venue, resulting in the death of Ronald McPhatter, Troy Ave’s bodyguard, and several others injured.
Both men were arrested following the incident, with Troy Ave facing charges of attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Troy Ave, however, maintained his innocence throughout, asserting self-defense and claiming that Taxstone was the shooter.
He later testified against Taxstone during the trial in exchange for a reduced sentence. After Taxstone’s conviction, Troy Ave released a diss track titled “Dear Hater, I Won (Taxstone Found Guilty).”
The song, a direct taunt at Taxstone, emphasized Troy Ave’s insistence that he acted in self-defense during the Irving Plaza incident. It also mocked Taxstone’s lack of street credibility, further fueling their long-standing feud.
The song also takes aim at fellow Brooklyn rapper Casanova, who is facing a significant prison sentence of his own.
The rap world is still mourning the death of Texas rapper Big Pokey. According to Fox 4 Beaumont, authorities are trying to figure out his cause of death but so far, they’ve come up empty.
As previously reported by AllHipHop, the Screwed Up Click OG artist died on Saturday (June 17) at Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital at age 45. His death came shortly after he passed out at Pour 09 Bar during a performance. When he fell, a video shows someone rushing to his aid, although the clip sparked outrage among his fans.
An autopsy was performed, but the results yielded no definitive answers for the family or the state, with Justice of the Peace Tom Gillam III stating it showed no pathological cause of death.
As a result, Gillam says the results will be sent over to a lab in Dallas that will conduct a toxicology test that might not be available for the public in months.
Screwed Up Click was formed in the ’90s. The group’s debut album, Blockbleeders, was released in May 1999 via Straight Profit Records. Shortly after Big Pokey’s death, Bun B encouraged all of his fans to stream his music, including his latest album Sensei, which he released in 2021.
“Let’s get on all the streaming platforms and make this the number one album in the country today,” Bun B wrote. “Jump on @youtube @spotify @applemusic @tidal @pandora and anywhere else for the legend @sucbigpokey today. Let’s send his family a message that we loved him! Long Live Big Pokey!”
AllHipHop sends our condolences to Big Pokey’s loved ones.

Kenny Muney is an interesting one. Check out this cool interview.
Microsoft is about to enter the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) space. According to Music Business Worldwide, the company launching a new technology that plans to shift how people consume music. It’s also created software that raps with very little programming or input from humans.
Microsoft has an entire research division dedicated to A.I. called Muzic, which was established in 2019. Muzic is described asa “project on A.I. music that empowers music understanding and generation with deep learning and artificial intelligence.”
MSR Asia was actually set up in 1998 and “conducts basic and applied research in areas central to Microsoft’s long-term strategy and future computing vision”. Muzic researchers have come up with an A.I.-powered “rap generator” called DeepRapper.
A memo detailing the text-based model claims, “DeepRapper is the first [A.I.] system to generate rap with both rhymes and rhythms. Both objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate that DeepRapper generates creative and high-quality raps.”
It continues, “Previous works for rap generation focused on rhyming lyrics but ignored rhythmic beats, which are important for rap performance. In this paper, we develop DeepRapper, a Transformer-based rap generation system that can model both rhymes and rhythms.”
For now, there is “no available rap dataset with rhythmic beats” and so the division has developed “a data mining pipeline to collect a large scale rap dataset, which includes a large number of rap songs with aligned lyrics and rhythmic beats.”
Those Microsoft engineers and researchers, in the United States and overseas, are working in the A.I. space and looking at various subjects within the technology like A.I.-powered text-to-music generation, lyric generation, Lyric-to-Melody Generation and songwriting. Microsoft released the code for DeepRapper on GitHub, which can be found here.
Life is full of unforeseen situations. Currently, a frantic rescue attempt is underway for a missing submarine that was attempting to locate the remains of the infamous Titanic. There are five members aboard the U-boat, including businessman Shazada Dawood, his teen son Suleman, diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, explorer Hamish Harding and OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush. In addition to the array of organizations, multiple Twitter sleuths are popping up to help.
Y’all please watch this. It’s a CBS story that aired a while back about that submarine that is now missing. The creators of that missing submarine are DEEPLY unserious. pic.twitter.com/B6JriITyZj
— Marie, MSN, APRN, FNP-C (@FnpMarieOH) June 19, 2023
One of the most integral factors impacting the rescue attempt is oxygen. Currently, there’s less than 24 hours of oxygen left aboard the craft. While adventure was once the primary objective, survival is now the main concern.
OceanGate Expeditions is the same company that believes a trip to the Titanic is a wonderful idea—cue the crickets. Moreover, this is the second journey the sub has made to the doomed vessel.
Be that as it may, on Sunday (June 18), the Titan submersible would commence its sophomore trip. Yes, the boat started its dive toward the wrecked Titanic. However, it was only one hour and 45 minutes later that radio communication with its surface ship, Polar Prince, stopped functioning.
To help bolster the rescue efforts of the Canadian and U.S. coast guards, Twitter is joining the fray. Of course, there are a kaleidoscope of opinions on what’s going on with the missing submarine.
Somebody recently told me Kid Capri was white. And I look at The Kid and I say “Nah, no way.” After this fiasco, I had to look again. More on this in a few.
During a recent appearance on Audacy’s Hip-Hop Made podcast, Kid Capri addressed the ongoing debate surrounding Eminem’s credibility within Hip-Hop culture. The discussion revolved around questioning whether Eminem’s skills were truly as GREAT as the media portrayed them to be. Why is this even a thing still?
Oh, that’s right! Trolling interviewers!
In an interview with The Art Of Dialogue, which seems like eons ago, Grandmaster Melle Mel expressed his viewpoint that Eminem’s widespread acclaim is often attributed to his race. He said, “Obviously, he’s a capable rapper. If you was talking about sales, he sold more than everybody. If you talking about rhyme style–OK, he got a rhyme style. But he’s white! He’s white! If Eminem was just another n#gga like all the rest of us, would he be Top 5 on that list when a n#gga that can rhyme just as good as him is 35?”
I don’t see why this is debatable since Eminem himself says the same thing. I present, exhibit A: “White America.”
Kid Capri seemed to take issue with Mel’s perspective AND also disagreed with anyone who had previously criticized Eminem. He stated, “Everybody goes by the popularity of the person instead of the real skill set. Everybody keep going at Eminem because he’s white. You’re mad because he’s doing Black stuff better than you are. Like 50 said. That’s what it is. The boy is nice, you can’t take that from him. Wisely use his name in your mouth every time. That boy is nice. You can not f##k with him on stage at all.”
“The Black Stuff…”
That’s a weird phrase and it smells a bit racist. First of all, Eminem is minding his business, not hurting anybody. Secondly, only somebody outside of the culture would refer to Hip-Hop as “the Black stuff.” And…this is Kid Capri, a DJ King and Hip-Hop legend. Why would he say this that way? I don’t know for sure, but I do know that somebody who shall remain nameless claimed that Kid Capri is white. Well, his mother is Italian. And, from what I’ve been told, his father is Black. I refused to go down the rabbit hole last night. Also, it seemed like there was a jab there directed at Mel. I could be wrong, but it seems like that. But, nobody is really walking around “mad” at Eminem. Em is a legend and he’s one of the G.O.A.T.S. This is more than 25 years of Eminem if you have been tapped in. We love Em. Sheesh.
Anyway, Kid Capri is still doing his thing and I wish that was the focus.
The Kid ignited the night during a recent Juneteenth celebration in New York City. He gathered all the old heads and played timeless classics such as “My Adidas,” “Eric B Is President,” “Slow Down,” “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” and “Ante Up.” The older crowd was instantaneously transported back to their youth, with aged B-boys actually breakdancing on the AstroTurf. Bringing his set to a remarkable conclusion, Kid Capri switched to MC, delivering tracks from his 2022 album, “The Love.”
Logic often uses his voice to shine a light on the importance of mental health treatment. His biggest hit to date, “1-800-273-8255,” centered around providing listeners with access to help. The title was the phone number for the American National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, the song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
BetterHelp, the online therapy platform, has now partnered with Logic to offer one month of free therapy sessions. Fans interested in using BetterHelp can visit betterhelp.com/logic to get matched with a licensed therapist online.
“We’re thrilled to partner with such a talented artist who shares our determination to destigmatize mental health issues and expand access to resources,” Olivier Sinson, Director of Partnerships at BetterHelp, said. “We’re passionate about making mental health care available to everyone, and this partnership will help us reach even more people who can benefit from therapy.”
Logic Launches Logically Speaking Podcast
BetterHelp sponsors Logic’s Logically Speaking podcast, which explores mental health, therapy, addiction and artistry. The show features conversations with artists, athletes, actors, therapists, and other experts in the field of mental health.
“It’s no secret to my fans and loved ones that therapy changed my life,” says Logic. “I try to be open about my relationship with mental health with the hope that I can inspire others to do the same.”
He continues, “Breaking down the stigma of seeking treatment is so important. But stigma aside, access to treatment is equally important. By partnering with BetterHelp, my hope is to provide my fans with access to treatment on their terms because taking that first step can be the most important thing.”
Logic released his eighth studio album, College Park, in February. The Maryland-raised rapper supported his latest body of work by embarking on the College Park Tour with Memphis-based Hip-Hop legend Juicy J.
There’s been widespread speculation for months about Latto’s rumored boyfriend. However, the “Put It On Da Floor Again” rapper chooses to keep her dating life out of the public eye.
Many fans online assume Latto is dating fellow Atlanta-bred rap star 21 Savage, but they haven’t publicly confirmed a relationship.
Fashion and entertainment magazine Cosmopolitan spoke to Latto for a new cover story. The article included the 24-year-old RCA recording artist addressing her decision not to reveal her current boyfriend.
“If something is special to me, I’m going to keep it close to me because everything else has to be front and center about my life,” Latto said. According to Cosmo, the pair have known each other since she was a teenager.
When asked if her boyfriend ever flies out to surprise her at a show, Latto responded, “Yes, that’s definitely happened before, but it’s not a consistent thing. I think we find the beauty in separation sometimes because it makes us miss each other.”
21 Savage and Latto recently shared a stage together on June 17. Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash ATL concert saw 21 Savage bring out Cardi B. Latto later joined them inside Atlanta’s State Farm Arena for a live performance of “Put It On Da Floor Again.”
T.I. stepped behind the camera for a new film starring numerous comedians. The Hustle Gang boss promoted the upcoming film, titled “Da Partments,” on his Twitter and Instagram pages on Tuesday (June 21). The Atlanta-raised entertainer wrote and directed the comedy, which is based in his hometown.
“The wait is almost over!!!!” he tweeted. “Get ready for uncensored, unhinged, unapologetic hood humor at its finest… Fresh out the minds of ones who made it out the trenches & laughed all the way to the bank!!!!”
The 3x-Grammy winner also revealed comedian DC Young Fly co-produced the film, while fellow stand-up comics, Lil Duval and Karlous Miller, served as executive producers. All three men appear in the movie as well.
“And starring the coolest, funniest MFs in Atlanta,” Tip added. “Some you know… & some you should. We all would like to welcome you to… DaPartments!!! Coming soon @Tubi in partnership [with] @SwirlFilm.”
The wait is almost over!!!! Get Ready for Uncensored Unhinged Unapologetic Hood humor at its finest… Fresh out the minds of ones who made it out the trenches & laughed all the way to the bank!!!
Tubi, the FOX Corporation-owned, ad-supported streaming service, is home to more than six dozen original films, including the Bruce Willis-led “Corrective Measures” and the Noah “40” Shebib-produced “Nightalk.”
In addition to releasing chart-topping rap albums such as 2006’s King and 2008’s Paper Trail, T.I. also acted in feature films such as 2006’s “ATL,” 2010’s“Takers” and 2018’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” His television experience includes stints on “House of Lies” and “Genius.”
As for “Da Partments,” the cast features Henry Welch, Arnesto Ross, Throwed Off Juan, Moneybag Mafia, Navv Greene, Tyler Chronicles, Jayski, VVS, Tokyo Jetz, Tokyo Vanity, Ian Foreman, K. Dubb, King Harris and more.
Honey! The pearl necklaces are being clutched. Why, say you? Well, because Moriah Mills is vowing to drop a highly anticipated sex tape. Of course, it allegedly is starring her purported star-crossed lover, the illustrious, Zion Williamson.
Among, other things, the former adult actress is highly critical of the number one draft pick. As a matter-of-fact, his so called flaccid member comes under scrutinity. Keep in mind, before the unexpected baby announcement, in the world of Ms. Mills, everything was wonderful.
Previously, as a kept woman, the 32 year-old was living what appeared to be a life of leisure. However, when the Pelicans pro announced the birth of his first child, the devastated lady began to mourn. Discovering, the alleged relationship was merely a fantasy, must suck.
So, how does that saying goes? “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Yeah, that’s the one. What in the world is happening here? Let’s insert the applicable amount of concern. Many a woman has played the fool. Be that as it may, in Moriah’s case she seems ever more silly cutting up on a public platform. Somewhere, the Power forward seems to still be ignoring all her antics.
For all one knows, this may be reason why Moriah recently went on a Twitter tirade. In it — amongst other allegations — she lodges a big one against Zion Williamson. Could it be, is “erectile dysfunction” something that he is allegedly experiencing?
Check out the above listed screenshots of her salacious tweets. As it stands, MM is on a timeout from Twitter as her account is now suspended.
“I been ballin’ so damn hard, could’ve went to LSU,” raps Cardi B on Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” single. Cardi emboldened Louisiana State University’s Gary Redus II to use that line to promote the school’s basketball program.
Gary Redus II, who serves as an assistant coach and recruiter for LSU, immediately embraced “Put It On Da Floor Again” when the song dropped on June 2. At the time, he took to Twitter to seek assistance on a shirt design.
“Somebody put the Cardi bars on a graphic tee I can wear out recruiting in July,” tweeted Gary Redus II. Eventually, the former professional basketball player for several overseas teams got his “Put It On Da Floor Again” tee.
On Monday (June 20), Redus posted photos of himself wearing an LSU Tigers women’sbasketball team shirt featuring Cardi B’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” lyrics. The caption read, “Let me know if you need one @iamcardib.”
Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again featuring Cardi B peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track’s official music video included a cameo by LSU star Angel Reese. Those HidjiWorld/Latto-directed visuals have amassed over 18 million views on YouTube.
Gary Redus II, Angel Reese, and the rest of the LSU Tigers won the 2023 NCAA Division I women’s basketball championship in April. Additionally, Reese took home the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award.

Sergio “Gunna” Kitchens has been one of the most talked about Hip Hop recording artists over the last year. After pleading guilty in a Georgia racketeering case, Gunna recently turned his attention back to the music.
The 15-track A Gift & a Curse album landed on June 16. Over its 45-minute run time, Gunna told his side of the story that had many people claiming the Atlanta native snitched on his YSL Records boss Young Thug.
HitsDailyDouble has crunched the projected sales numbers for Gunna’s A Gift & a Curse. The YSL Records/300 Entertainment-backed LP is on pace to move around 78,000 units in its first week of release.
That expected total will likely be enough for Gunna to claim the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Country singer Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time reportedly pulled in another 100,000 units in its sixteenth week.
— YOUNG STONER LIFE (@YoungStonerLife) June 14, 2023
Gunna made it to the Billboard 200’s No. 1 position with 2022’s DS4Ever. That album opened with 150,000 units and more than 193 million streams. It was the rapper’s second Number One.
Wunna also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2020. Gunna managed to amass 111,000 album-equivalent units and 144 million on-demand streams for that project’s first-week sum.
Unlike Wunna and DS4Ever, Gunna’s A Gift & a Curse did not feature any other credited artists. “Bread & Butter” served as the album’s lead single. The song peaked at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
JAY-Z joined the star-studded guest list at his longtime friend Pharrell Williams’ debut as creative director at Louis Vuitton. Not only did Hov attend with wife Beyoncé in tow, but he also surprised guests after the show, joining Pharrell for a joint performance.
The duo rocked the stage with their hits, including “Frontin’” and the Neptunes collab “Give It to Me.” JAY-Z naturally made the most of the location, adding “Ni**as In Paris” to the setlist. Amid all the performances, JAY-Z made sure to give Pharrell Williams his flowers.
“This young man tonight did something extraordinary,” he told the crowd. “I want everybody [to] put one hand in the air. Pay homage to the great skateboard P. Congratulations man, I’m so proud of you.”
Pharrell reflected on his new role in an interview with WDD earlier this week (June 19) ahead of his first collection as creative director.
“Every day, I gotta pinch myself because it’s an appointment, and I was chosen,” he explained. “Pietro saw something, and I’m touched by that and I honor that every day.”
Pharrell continued, “I didn’t go to Central Saint Martins, but I also didn’t go to Juilliard either in music and I mean, we see how that turned out,” the Grammy-winner said. “It’s cool. That’s a very fair observation. But neither did Vivienne Westwood, right? Tadao Ando was self-taught. I mean, he’s the GOAT, right? I only aspire to express myself.”

Kanye West has been vocal about his concerns about North West being on TikTok, and it appears Kim Kardashian believes he has a point.
In a new interview, the SKIMS founder explained why she took down the TikTok of her 10-year-old dressed as Ice Spice, rapping to her lyrics. According to Kim, she was initially unaware of the adult lyrics.
“Every day, the kids get to switch off whose music they want to plug in and listen to on the way to school and North was listening to Ice Spice,” Kim began. “And I didn’t know who that was at the time. And I was like, this is the moment when I feel really old and my daughter is now teaching me what’s cool. I then had the idea to put [Ice Spice] in a Skims campaign. So that all came through North and what she liked. I think it’s always tough when you’re co-parenting and someone wants something and someone doesn’t.”
Kim said she was out of town when North asked if she could post the video but allowed the nanny to share it.
“And as soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like, ‘Oh, no no. We’re taking this down.’ She totally understood. So, I think that’s the trial and error sometimes,” she stated.
Kim also admitted that her ex-husband’s concerns over TikTok were not so overblown after all.
“And, you know, then I saw on the Internet, it’s like, ‘Kanye was right.’ You know? And maybe he was, you know?” She added. While she conceded Ye had a point “in that instance,” Kim said she still “will fight” for North West’s right to express her creativity. Check out the clip below.
Kim Kardashian on North West’s Ice Spice TikTok videos: “As soon as I saw the words, I was like, ‘Oh no, we’re taking this down.’ I saw on the internet, [people saying] ‘Kanye was right,’ and maybe he was in that instance” pic.twitter.com/93vtrx9wwW
“Hey everybody, I just got off the phone with Kim, and I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing. I said, ‘it’s never again, Kanye said during an Instagram Live in March, before adding, “I am her father.”
He continued, “I know you don’t respect fathers and the idea of family and media tries to promote something.’ I said, ‘I’m not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney.’ I have a say so.”
Kanye began trending on Twitter When North first shared the Ice Spice TikTok. Many users agreed with Kanye’s take, sharing clips of the little girl reciting the line “bet he blowing her back,” from PinkPantheress and Ice Spice’s####, “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2.”
NBA YoungBoy has responded to the granddaughter of mafia don John Gotti after she had some words for the rapper following her brother’s fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., the grandfather of Youngboy’s son.
After the antic-filled fight on June 11, which saw John Gotti III throwing punches at the referee after being disqualified for holding in the 6th round, Nicolette Gotti, John’s sister, took to Instagram with a scathing and racially charged attack directed towards Floyd’s daughter Yaya, and the father of her child, NBA YoungBoy.
“@floydmayweather your daughter was ran through by a animal with 12 different baby mamas,” she wrote on her IG Story.” “Your little circus animal — [you’re] all a pack of zoo animals… I swear on my kids I’m coming for your daughter. It may be two years, three years from now but I’m coming c###.”
NBA YoungBoy said nothing publicly on the matter until Tuesday night (Jun. 20). In a video the Baton Rouge, Louisiana native said he hates Yaya and told Nicolette Gotti to do her worst.
“I hope you do that b#### the worse way, two three years from now. I don’t give a f### it ain’t my business I hate that hoe,” NBA YoungBoy declared. “And when it come to her daddy, that n#### don’t need to be in my mentions, I don’t f### with him. Your brother lost the fight, every dog have they day man, that’s how it go.”
https://youtu.be/BKMGZ__sFkM
However, while NBA YoungBoy doesn’t care what happens to the mother of his child, he warned Nicolette Gotti not to disrespect him.
“I idolise your daddy,” he continued. “Man, next time you ever disrespect me, y’all ‘gone have to bomb me. Have a blessed day, beautiful.” Watch the clip below.
The Jim Jones and Pusha T rivalry is heating up. The Dipset member appears to have wasted no time answering a purported King Push diss, taking to Instagram with a video response after Pusha T seemed to take a shot at Jones in a new Clipse song. The track premiered while Pusha T walked the runway during Pharrell Williams’ official debut as Louis Vuitton’s new men’s creative director in Paris on Tuesday (June 20).
“Beware of my name, that there’s delegate/You know I know where you’re delicate,” he rapped. “Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it/I will close your heaven for the hell of itYou think it’d be valor amongst veterans/I’m watching your fame escape relevance/We all in a room but here’s the elephant/You chasing a feature out of your element/And those lab diamonds under inspection/The question marks block your blessings/It’s no tombstones in the desert/I know by now you get the message.”

Both Jim Jones and Pusha T began trending on Twitter as fans rushed to share clips of the new track. It didn’t take long for the “We Fly High” hitmaker to reply. However, fans might have a long wait if they’re looking for a response on wax.
“Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” Jim Jones wrote on Instagram, flipping the title of Pusha T’s debut album. He also shared a video. In the clip, Jim Jones doesn’t say a word but laughs hysterically while his song with Dyce Payson, “Come Again,” plays in the background.
“Let me know when they really ready” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
Pusha T has seemingly responded to Jim Jones’ claims that he’s not a Top 50 rapper in the most braggadocious yet classy way, unloading subliminal shots at the Dipset member while walking the runway at Pharell Williams’ Louis Vuitton debut.
Pharrell premiered several new songs during his official debut as Louis Vuitton’s new men’s creative director at the iconic Pont Neuf bridge in Paris on Tuesday (June 20). Among them, an unreleased Clipse track that sees King Push warning folks it’s unwise to mention him.
“Beware of my name, that there’s delegate,” he raps. “You know I know where you’re delicate/Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it/I will close your heaven for the hell of it.”
Both rappers began trending as other lyrics had fans convinced Pusha T was sending shots at Jim Jones.
“You think it’d be valor amongst veterans/I’m watching your fame escape relevance,” he raps. “We all in a room but here’s the elephant/You chasing a feature out of your element/And those lab diamonds under inspection/The question marks block your blessings/It’s no tombstones in the desert/I know by now you get the message.”
JAY-Z and Beyoncé were among the star-studded guest list and sat front row bobbing their heads as Pusha T walked the runway alongside his brother and Clipse partner No Malice.

Fans have been waiting for a response after Jim Jones shaded Pusha T in April, debating his inclusion on a list of the 50 greatest rappers.
“What has [Pusha T] done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” Jim Jones asked during an appearance on Spotify’s RapCaviar podcast. “He’s nice! He’s nice as s###. He could rap his ass off, but what has he done?”
