<div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered"><footer class="entry-footer"> <p data-start="129" data-end="378">In what fans are calling a major moment in hip-hop rivalry, <strong data-start="189" data-end="263">Pusha T Claims Victory Over Lil Wayne as Clipse Achieves Chart Success</strong> with the release of <em data-start="284" data-end="305">Let God Sort Em Out</em>, the highly anticipated reunion album from the legendary rap duo Clipse.</p> <p data-start="380" data-end="741">Debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, the project moved an impressive 118,000 equivalent album units in its first week — a figure that edges out Lil Wayne’s latest release, <em data-start="555" data-end="570">Tha Carter VI</em>. Despite Lil Wayne securing a higher debut position at No. 2, <em data-start="633" data-end="648">Tha Carter VI</em> managed only 108,000 units, falling short of both Clipse’s numbers and his own past success.</p> <p data-start="743" data-end="1040">This outcome marks a symbolic win for Pusha T in his long-standing feud with Weezy. Though <em data-start="834" data-end="849">Tha Carter VI</em> had more commercial hype, its performance pales in comparison to earlier entries in the series — especially <em data-start="958" data-end="974">Tha Carter III</em>, which sold over a million copies in its first week back in 2008.</p> <p data-start="1042" data-end="1418"><strong data-start="1042" data-end="1116">Pusha T Claims Victory Over Lil Wayne as Clipse Achieves Chart Success</strong>, but it wasn’t a complete sweep on the charts. The Clipse album still trailed behind Travis Scott’s latest compilation project, <em data-start="1245" data-end="1257">Jackboys 2</em>, which dominated the top spot. Despite having a shorter sales window, Scott’s album sold a whopping 232,000 equivalent units — nearly doubling Clipse's numbers.</p> <p data-start="1042" data-end="1418"><a href="https://rapperweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/grammys-get-rap-wrong-again.webp"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6859 size-full" src="https://rapperweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/grammys-get-rap-wrong-again.webp" alt="Pusha T Claims Victory Over Lil Wayne as Clipse Achieves Chart Success " width="1800" height="1200" /></a></p> <p data-start="1042" data-end="1418"></p> <p data-start="1420" data-end="1809">However, the tension between <strong><a href="https://raptv.com/article/pusha-t-and-travis-scott-beef-explained/">Pusha T and Travis Scott</a></strong> has been heating up as well. On the Clipse track “So Be It,” Pusha took direct aim at Scott, delivering scathing bars:<br data-start="1592" data-end="1595" /><em data-start="1595" data-end="1809">“You cried in front of me, you died in front of me / Calabasas took your bitch and your pride in front of me / Her utopia had moved right up the street / And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat.”</em></p> <p data-start="1811" data-end="2156">The beef didn’t end there. In an interview with <em data-start="1859" data-end="1863">GQ</em>, Pusha explained that the diss stemmed from what he saw as disrespect toward Pharrell Williams, a close friend and collaborator, on Travis Scott's track “”Meltdown”—particularly in Drake’s featured verse. According to Pusha, the tension started when Scott visited Pharrell’s studio in Paris.</p> <p data-start="2158" data-end="2450">“He interrupted a session Pharrell and I were having. He walks in like everything’s cool — laughing, joking, acting excited to see us,” Pusha recalled. “Then a week later, we hear ‘Meltdown.’ He played us a track, but he didn’t let us hear that Drake verse, which was clearly throwing shade.”</p> <p data-start="2452" data-end="2653">With tensions rising on multiple fronts and chart battles intensifying, hip-hop fans are witnessing more than just a numbers game — they’re watching legends redefine rivalries through art and strategy.</p> </footer></div>
