Pusha T Tearfully Reflects On His Parents’ Death
Pusha T was overwhelmed with emotion as he talked about his parents’ deaths four months apart.
King Push is recognized for his ability with words, but he hesitated to speak openly about how he dealt with such a tragic loss. He reflected on the death of Mildred and Gene Thornton in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, saying that you can “never” be prepared for something like that.
Pusha T Talked About How The Death of His Parents Affected His Perspective On Legacy.
“I think the one thing that’s helped me deal with grief right now—my parents passed four months apart…I just know I was good with my parents, both of them, like really good,” he said. “Like, so, I grieve selfishly. I’m grieving now. But, man, it’s, um, they alright. I know it.”
“Legacy is everything right now for me,” He stated. “Because I understand that, in their passing, you know, I have so many great things to reference and, you know, with a tainted legacy you don’t have that. I think about my son and he’s, like, he’s gonna be able to look at the legacy of his dad and be like, ‘Oh man, he was amazing.’ Because that’s my goal. Because [my parents] were amazing.”
“You’re Never Ready,” Pusha T Admits.
Pusha T compared the loss of a parent to that of a superhero. “It doesn’t matter how old they are, how sick they are. He went on to say, “You’re never ready.”
Pusha T got down with Charlemagne to promote his forthcoming album It’s Almost Dry, which is eagerly anticipated. He released “Neck and Wrist,” a new single with JAY-Z and Pharrell Williams, last week.
