Pusha T has resigned from his role as president of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, seven years after assuming the position. The rapper revealed the news in an interview with XXL; when asked directly if he’s still the president of G.O.O.D. Music, Pusha replied, “No. No, I’m not.”
It’s been reported that G.O.O.D. Music is no longer a part of Def Jam Recordings, but Pusha went on to clarify that he still has a separate deal with Def Jam, saying in the interview: “I have a 50/50 venture with Def Jam. For my own music and for my label.” Pusha’s latest album 'It’s Almost Dry' was released via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam in April, making it one of the final projects to drop under the venture.
Pusha told XXL that the last time he and West spoke was when he was on tour. Pusha claims he doesn’t agree with West’s views and that West is “not speaking to [him] now.” He went on to say that he “just expressed [himself]” when they last spoke: “I express myself to him a lot ... [West] expressed his thoughts to me ... We started working together in 2010, so, my relationship with him has never been like everybody else’s in regard to the filter. I never had a filter with him. I’ve always spoke my mind. People gotta remember, too. This isn’t new for me, when it comes to disagreeing with him politically and things like that.”
