According to XXL Magazine, Pusha T is no longer in charge of Kanye “Ye” West’s record company GOOD Music, which the Donda rappper founded in 2004 under Def Jam.

The distressing outing was the rapper’s most recent in a string of anti-Semitic remarks that prompted a broader movement in the music, fashion, and entertainment sectors to disassociate themselves from him back in October. Pusha T criticized Ye last month, stating that the interview affected him, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. It has been depressing. There is no place for racism or hate speech as a Black guy in the United States. So, yes. Let’s be clear: It has been incredibly frustrating. – Steve Sijenyi
