Pusha T Bio & Journey

Terrence LeVarr Thornton (born November 26, 1992) was born in New York City, United States. He is an American rapper, songwriter, and record executive. He is professionally known as Pusha T. Pusha T initially gained fame as part of the hip-hop duo Clipse, which he formed with his older brother, No Malice. Clipse was active from 1994 to 2010. During this time, they released three studio albums and several mixtapes. Their music included popular singles such as "Grindin'" and "When the Last Time," both of which came out in 2002 and were big hits.

In 2010, Pusha T made a significant move in his career by signing with Kanye West's GOOD Music label, which was a part of Def Jam Recordings at that time. That same year, Pusha T featured on Kanye West’s single "Runaway," which became quite successful and reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The following year, in 2011, Pusha T released his first solo project, a mixtape called Fear of God. This was followed by his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, which came out in 2013. These releases marked the beginning of Pusha T’s solo career.

Pusha T FAQs

Pusha T's real name is Terrence LeVarr Thornton. He was born on May 13, 1977, in The Bronx, New York, but he grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia. That's where he really made his mark in the hip-hop scene, especially with the Virginia-based duo Clipse.

What's the deal with Pusha T and Drake's beef?

+

The Pusha T vs Drake beef is legendary in hip-hop. It goes way back to the early 2000s when Drake dissed Pusha's group Clipse. The beef really exploded in 2018 with Pusha's devastating track 'The Story of Adidon,' where he exposed Drake's secret son and went after everything from his ghostwriting to his credibility. It's considered one of the most brutal diss tracks in rap history and basically ended their feud with Pusha coming out on top.

Who is Pusha T's brother and what was Clipse?

+

Pusha T's older brother is Gene 'No Malice' Thornton (formerly known as just 'Malice'). Together, they formed the hip-hop duo Clipse in 1994. Clipse was huge in the early 2000s with hits like 'Grindin'' and 'When the Last Time.' They were known for their drug-dealing narratives and slick wordplay. The duo went on hiatus in 2010 but recently reunited, releasing their fourth album 'Let God Sort Em Out' in July 2025 after 15 years apart.

How much is Pusha T worth?

+

Pusha T's net worth is estimated to be around $14-15 million as of 2024. His wealth comes from his successful music career, both as part of Clipse and as a solo artist, plus his business ventures. He's also the co-founder and co-CEO of Re-Up Records with his brother, and he's got various other investments and partnerships that contribute to his wealth.

What are Pusha T's biggest solo hits and albums?

Is Pusha T still signed to Kanye West's label?

+

This is actually a recent development - Pusha T and his brother were reportedly dropped from Def Jam, and Pusha T was also dropped as a solo artist from GOOD Music (Kanye's label) in 2024. He's now operating more independently, which explains why Clipse's 2025 album 'Let God Sort Em Out' was self-released. Despite the label split, Pusha T has said he and Kanye remain on good terms creatively.

What's Pusha T's connection to Pharrell Williams?
