During a 2014 interview with CNN, Pusha explained how he found out his brother decided to leave the group and dedicate his life to Jesus.
“I came to him and I was like, ‘Man, I got these ideas,’” he said. “‘I got these beats I want you to check out.’ He was like, ‘I’m not doing another Clipse album right now.’ Wow. Now that was hard. That was hard.”
No Malice quit the secular music and decided to give his life to Christ. In 2016, he told Billboard that he hasn’t completely counted out a potential Clipse reunion.

“I’ma tell you that I learned to never say never, and I don’t shut the door on anything. I really don’t. In fact, I would like to see Clipse do it,” he said. “But I just do things differently. When the people want Clipse, they want Clipse. They want what they know about the Clipse. I’m not trying to tamper with that brand or try to change it into something different. But what I actually know in my heart are parts. I’ve said it before, my brother and I would definitely make clown soup out of all these MCs. Now that much I know.”
The duo has not released an album since 2009’s Til The Casket Drops. They recently reunited at one of Kanye West’s sunday Service events to perform “Use This Gospel.” They have also been listed as an act for this year’s Something In The Water festival in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Pusha T Confirms He’s Cut All Ties With Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music

Pusha T has publicly cut ties with Kanye West’s former record label G.O.O.D. Music, which he first joined in 2010, and remained with through the release of his 2022 Grammy-nominated album “It’s Almost Dry.”
In 2015, Pusha became the president of G.O.O.D., but in a new interview with XXL, he confirmed his affiliation with the label was cut following West’s outspoken descent into antisemitism. The company’s parent label, Def Jam, ended its business relationship with G.O.O.D. in late October and clarified that its working relationship with West ended in 2021. Pusha now shares a 50/50 deal directly with Def Jam for his music and is under his own label, Heir Wave Music Group.
The rapper told the publication that he hasn’t spoken to West since he articulated his disappointment with him in a November interview. “I was still on tour. I just expressed myself. I express myself to him a lot. He expressed his thoughts to me,” he said. “And he got off the phone saying, ‘Thank you. I know you don’t agree with me, but you never kill me in the public. And some people can’t wait to do that.'”
When asked about West’s appearances on far-right shows and podcasts, he responded that it was “nothing to tap dance around. It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again.”
He continued: “If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff [on “Infowars“]. I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.”
He recalled having disagreed with West in 2016 following his public support for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign: “People gotta remember, too. This isn’t new for me, when it comes to disagreeing with him politically and things like that.
“Remember, I’m the one that said the MAGA hat is the new Klu Klux Klan hood while he’s making my album,” he continued. “He beefing with Obama. I met Obama. But it’s the same thing with him and the Drake thing. I’m going through this and that, he’s doing shows [with Drake],” he explained.
Pusha first appeared on West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album on the track “Runaway.” West then served as an executive producer to Pusha’s solo albums, including releases like 2013’s “My Name is My Name” and 2018’s “Daytona.” The former Clipse rapper’s latest effort, “It’s Almost Dry,” saw West take up half of the record’s production duties, while Pharrell Williams, another longtime collaborator of Pusha’s, produced the other half.
“[West] knows I will do everything I gotta do and wanna do. In regard to anything that jeopardizes my look, my pride, anything. He knows that,” Pusha continued. “He knows there’s no talking me off any ledges. He just can’t do it. With him knowing that. I got too much pride to ask somebody to not move a certain way. I don’t do it. But I’m going to react as Coo Coo Cal as I fucking want to when I feel like something is not going in my favor. It is what it is, man.”
Pusha T Leaves G.O.O.D. Music, Says Kanye's Views Are "Nothing To Tap Dance Around"
After the breakup of Clipse, Pusha T signed to Kanye West’s record label G.O.O.D. Music in 2010, and his appearances on Kanye tracks like “Runaway” helped firm up his status as a solo artist. In 2015 Pusha became the president of G.O.O.D., which by then was a subsidiary of Island Def Jam. He...

Clipse Announce They've Signed To Def Jam Recordings
By Jay QuanPublished Wed, October 30, 2024 at 12:40 PM EDT
The Clipse announced via social media that they've reunited and signed to Def Jam Recordings. Malice posted an image to IG of himself standing in the Def Jam offices in front of a sigh that reads "Def Jam Welcomes Clipse", while his brother Pusha T posted a video of the duo walking through the Def Jam offices to his stories. Pusha T is already signed to the label as a solo artist, but the duo previously released material on Star Trak, Arista, Jive, Columbia, and Elektra.
Their upcoming project, Let God Sort 'Em Out will be produced by Pharrell, and marks the first release by the duo since 2009's Til The Casket Drops. According to Vulture Nas, John Legend, and Stove God Cooks will be featured on album. “I think the album shows the supreme maturation of a rap duo. I think this is where you get the difference between taste and filler,” said Pusha. “This music is curated. This is a high taste-level piece of work. You can only have that level of taste when you have the fundamentals down to a science. I think it’s been definitely missing.
