Travis Scott responds to Pusha T’s diss, denying the accusations and framing the situation as a misunderstanding between two very different personalities.

Travis Scott has finally addressed Pusha T’s diss on “So Be It,” and according to him, a lot of what was said simply doesn’t line up with reality.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Travis pushed back on the claims, suggesting his name was used more for rollout momentum than truth. “If you got to drop Trav name for the rollout, so be it,” he said bluntly.

One of the biggest points of confusion for Travis was the idea that he showed up to a situation with a film crew. “When you go back and look at it… it’s crazy,” he explained. “N***as said I had a film crew [with me]. I’m like, ‘What?’ I remember when I pulled up, it was them n***as that had a film crew. I’m talking about the little microphone on the stick and all of that. I was like, ‘Oh sh*t. Am I in a documentary?’”

Travis also denied the idea that he was interrupting anything or forcing his presence. According to him, Pharrell personally invited him to the session. “First of all, I can’t interrupt something that somebody asked me to come pull up on,” he said, adding that much of what Pusha was saying “just didn’t make sense” from his perspective.

Looking at it from the outside, there are really two valid ways to read this situation.

On one hand, Travis Scott has long come across as someone who enjoys being social, collaborative, and generally cordial with people across the industry. He doesn’t seem like someone moving with malicious intent, more so a guy who thrives in creative spaces and shared energy.

On the other hand, Pusha T has always positioned himself as fiercely loyal and protective of the people he considers essential to his story. He’s a line-in-the-sand type of artist, someone who values code, respect, and boundaries above optics.

More than a diss or a calculated slight, this feels like a clash of philosophies. Two artists with very different views on how to move, how to show up, and how to conduct themselves as men in hip-hop spaces. Less villainy, more misunderstanding. And as Travis said, if his name had to be part of the rollout, so be it.
