Nominations

In 2003 and 2013, Pusha-T was nominated twice for Grammy Awards in the category of Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.

Pusha-T’s Cars

Pusha-T likes to roam around town in stylish cars. His car collection includes a Porshe Turbo S. The basic price of the car is $190,700.

In the past, Pusha-T was fascinated with the Mercedes-Benz SLS with gullwing doors. The reported price of that car is $109,000. It looks like Pusha-T is a huge fan of the Mercedes brand, as he has had the G-Wagen, the G-55, and the GL.

Recently, Pusha-T released his album, Daytona, and is busy promoting it. After appearing on The Breakfast Club to give a few details about his big return to music, Pusha-T explained that he spent a lot of time perfecting this album, and decided to work with Kanye West to create the final product.

In the past, Pharell has been his go-to man when it came to advice on producing, but according to Pusha-T, Kanye had a first-listen and told him he could produce these songs better. He was grilled on TBC and asked if that is the reason he worked with Kanya this time instead of Pharell, and he cleared the air.

“It’s not that the whole album was originally supposed to be produced by [The Neptunes],” adding, “There’s never a time when I don’t go to Pharell and Chad. Never. So, when it’s album time, we always toy around with them.

After working closely with Kanye, the seven-song album was complete, and even the title had been changed to Daytona at that time. “I feel like Daytona is what you guys are witnessing. What you’re really witnessing is two artists who have the luxury of time,” he explained of him and Kanye spending weeks in Idaho and Wyoming, taking the time in the studio to gain inspiration for the music and perfect each beat for the songs.

The Drake Beef

He is also in the news because of his beef with rapper Drake, after Pusha-T released a track called “Infrared,” that took shots at more than one artist, including Drake.

In the song, Pusha-T alleged that Drake actually used a ghostwriter to write some of his lyrics. In turn, Drake fired back with “Duppy Freestyle” taking aim at both Kanye and Pusha.

And now the latest? Pusha-T’s highly controversial track titled “The Story of Adidon,” where Pusha-T fully calls out Drake for fathering a baby with an ex-porn star named Sophie Brussaux. 

After all the drama, music mogul J Prince has said that Drake has a “career ending diss track” in store for Pusha-T. Meanwhile, Pusha-T doesn’t seem too concerned with the drama as his main focus right now is his new album.

He told Vanity Fair that he feels the drama is all over with, adding, “I mean, listen: I’m ready to be back to the music for real. Just feeding my base, that’s it. That’s the most important thing to me at all times.”

The rapper and record executive is getting ready to hit the road with a tour. Pusha-T’s tour will be heading to San Diego, Washington, Oakland, and other cities near you.
