Consequence recently took to social media to accuse Pusha T of dragging Kanye West into Drake beef, after he walked out of a recent interview with Hot 97. The rapper stated in an X post on August 19, 2025:

The statement continues Consequence's earlier assertions against Pusha T, including the one he made during his interview with Hot 97, where he railed against Pusha T for his behaviour with West:

"One of the reasons why we didn’t have a ‘song of the summer, Is because the sound bite of the summer was ‘I don’t respect Kanye as a man’ performed by — and I’mma emphasis ‘performed’ by — Pusha T and his brother Malice, known as the Clipse."

Consequence subsequently added:

"Right, so he apologized for basically dragging Kanye into the beef with Drake. He actually said in his own words, ‘Sorry for any trauma I’ve caused you and your family.’ So, where I’m from, if you’re willing to apologize to someone, that would mean that you respect them, right?"

He continued:

"So if you’re running a whole rollout based on not respecting someone and you’re a man, but you know that you already apologized to this man, then are you being honest with your base? Are you being honest to the world? Is this a real feeling or is this contrived for marketing?”

Consequence further elaborated:

"And another thing I wanna point out in the text is that he said, ‘Martin Luther King wasn’t respected in his household. From everything I’ve seen, isn’t Malice engulfed in the same scripture as Martin Luther King?."

He continued:

"And I heard homie say that he’s the devil and all this, so maybe you don’t respect your brother either. Maybe it’s whatever for fame, maybe it’s whatever to feel like you’re the top guy, but you know what makes you the top guy out here? A hit record."

Consequence's interview with Hot 97 is currently set to private. The portion of the interview quoted above is from Billboard's article on the matter on August 15, 2025. Consequence and Pusha T have had issues in the past as well, particularly around the early 2010s, when he was beefing with both Pusha T and Kanye West.
