Pusha T has unveiled his own coffee line, Grindin Coffee, named after the iconic 2002 Clipse single from their debut album, Lord Willin’. This brand, which honours one of the duo’s most renowned tracks, made its debut earlier this month at a pop-up event in Los Angeles and during the Camp Flog Gnaw festival.
A press release described the coffee as “a strong black coffee reflecting the artist’s taste.” Sharing his excitement on Instagram, Pusha T explained that the project stems from his personal passions and aspirations. He expressed gratitude for partnerships that have allowed him to bring his ideas to fruition and described the coffee as “a reflection of [him] and how [he] begins [his] day.” The highly caffeinated blend is set to hit shelves across the U.S. next year.

Meanwhile, Pusha T revisited his long-standing feud with Drake, claiming that despite years of tension, neither Drake nor his team has acted on any threats. The rivalry, which began in 2011, escalated in 2018 when Pusha T released Infrared on his Grammy-nominated album Daytona. The track accused Drake of using a ghostwriter, referencing Quentin Miller with the lines, “It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Drake retaliated with Duppy Freestyle, released the same day as Daytona. Four days later, Pusha T countered with The Story of Adidon, a scathing track in which he revealed that Drake had fathered a son, Adonis, whose existence was not publicly acknowledged until 2020. Recently, a fan on Twitter/X pointed out that, despite years of verbal sparring, no physical retaliation against Pusha T had occurred. The rapper humourously affirmed this, quipping that “not even a pinky nail” had been laid on him.
In other news, Pusha T is gearing up for the European leg of Kid Cudi’s INSANO tour. The tour begins on February 25 in Oslo and will include performances in cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, before concluding on March 18 at London’s O2 Arena.
