Pusha T Teases New Music During Fashion Week

First, it was McDonald’s, then Arby’s, and even Pizza Hut recently got in on using a Pusha T’s song in the promotion. But what about an entire nation’s department of defense?

When giving an update of how many Russian occupiers were lost in battle, the Defense of Ukraine went to King Push’s My Name Is My Name album to press play on Track 2 and let Twitter know they put “Numbers on the Boards.”

Of course, Pusha T saw the tweet and saluted them for their choice of a winning song.

The ubiquity of hip-hop only grows over time and tends to reveal itself in some unconventional ways. Ukraine’s Ministry Of Defense posted a tweet on Wednesday, September 7, alluding to Russia’s combat losses from February to September ever since Vladimir Putin invaded the country. The tweet included lyrics from none other than Pusha T, and the rapper expressed his approval hours later.

“‘I put numbers on the boards.’ @Pusha_T,” stated the official Ukraine Defense account alongside a graphic detailing the number of eliminated personnel, tanks, armored combat vehicles, and more military equipment owned by Russia. The lyrics come from the Virginia rapper’s popular 2013 record “Numbers On The Boards.”

King Push quoted the tweet over 10 hours later, simply writing, “Great taste in music for the win…” This should not come as much of a shock, as the It’s Almost Dry artist has been very vocal about politics in the past, whether it be assisting Hillary Clinton in her presidential campaign back in 2016, his admiration for former President Barack Obama, advocating for prison reform, or publicly disagreeing with his longtime collaborator Kanye West over his support of Donald Trump.
