Pusha T is selling his own brand of coffee named after one of his most iconic singles.
The brand, Grindin Coffee, pays homage to the Clipse track of the same name, taken from the hip-hop duo’s 2002 major label debut ‘Lord Willin”.
Fans got their first taste of the product, which a press release described as “a strong black coffee reflecting the artist’s taste”, earlier this month at an LA pop-up event, as well as at Camp Flog Gnaw.
In an Instagram post announcing the brand, the rapper wrote: “All my dreams and ideas start from my passions. Luckily, I have been able to find partnerships and platforms to help bring my visions to life. This is just a piece of me and how I start my day.”
The “highly caffeinated blend” will be available across the US next year.
In other news, earlier this year Pusha T has doubled down on claims that Drake and his team have not laid a finger on the rapper despite their nearly six-year-long feud.
The conflict between the two rappers can be traced as far back as 2011, but gained mainstream attention after Pusha T dropped ‘Infrared’ on his 2018 Grammy-nominated album ‘Daytona’.
On the Kanye West-produced record, he claimed that the Canadian rapper used a ghostwriter: “The lyric pennin’ equal the Trumps winnin’ / The bigger question is how the Russians did it / It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin [Miller].”
Drake replied with the infamous ‘Duppy Freestyle’ (which was released on the same day as ‘Daytona’) and, four days later, Pusha T clapped back with the notorious ‘The Story Of Adidon’. The latter song is where the Clipse member revealed Drake was “hiding a child,” referring to his now six-year-old son Adonis. Drake made news of his child public in 2020.
Twitter/X user JohnQueue tweeted: “I Just wanted to point out that, after all these years of mob talk from Drake, nobody ever laid a finger on Pusha T.”
The Virginia-born rapper responded to the fan, joking that “not a pinky nail” has touched him regarding his feud with Drake.
Elsewhere, Pusha T is set to join longtime friend and ex-labelmate Kid Cudi on the ‘INSANO’ European tour. The shows kick off on February 25 in Oslo and will see them stop in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris Dublin and more before wrapping up at the O2 Arena in London on March 18.
