Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out Sparks Controversy as Drake-Kendrick Feud Derails 2024 Release

Chad Hughes

Clipse, the legendary hip-hop duo of Pusha T and Malice, made waves with their new single “Ace Trumpets” while unveiling the turbulent story behind their upcoming reunion album, Let God Sort Em Out. Originally slated for a 2024 release under Def Jam, the album was shelved due to concerns over Kendrick Lamar’s guest verse amid his feud with Drake. After refusing to censor the track, Clipse exited Def Jam and signed with Roc Nation, preserving Kendrick’s contribution. The album, now set to drop July 11, marks both a defiant stand for artistic freedom and a powerful return to form.
