Clipse, consisting with Pusha T and No Malice, released their new single So Be It, on June 17, 2025. The song already has one million views on YouTube as of the writing of this article. Now, part of the lyrics of the song sung by Clipse member Pusha T has been confirmed to be a diss aimed at Travis Scott.

The lyrics in particular have the words Utopia, a reference to Scott's album, as well as Calabasses, where Travis Scott's ex Kylie Jenner lived with the rest of the Kardashians. A.E. meanwhile has been theorized to be a referance to Alexander "A.E." Edwards, another boyfriend of Kylie Jenner. The particular lyrics on the Clipse song are as follows:

"You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me/Her Utopia had moved right up the street"

The lyrics continue:

"And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat/The ’net gon' call it the way that they see it/But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it/They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it/Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it"

Pusha T confirmed the diss in an interview with GQ on June 17, 2025, stating:

"The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He came to [Pharrell’s] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session."

The rapper continued:

"He sees me and Malice there. He's like, ‘Oh, man, everybody's here,’ he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his fuc***g monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]."

Pusha T went on to state in the interview that Scott did not showcase his own Utopia album and later went on to diss Pharell Williams on the album. He stated that he thinks Scott does not have any loyalty and that he doesn't hold Scott to any standard.

Travis Scott has now responded to the diss, according to an X page by HFR Podcast, calling out Pusha T with the following words:

"If he wants to see the boys ja*king, he'll get the Jackboys, full force."
