The rap duo’s mother passed away in November 2021 and Push was also transparent about her death via Instagram. No Malice also logged on and dedicated the only post on his page to his late father. “You told me Psalm 34:19 was your favorite verse. Right now, I clutch it with both hands. We all love you dad. You were everything a father is supposed to be. ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them ALL.’ Psalm 34:19 KJV #TogetherAgain #Jesus #Salvation,” Malice captioned his post. 

The Clipse brothers have not disclosed anything further about their father’s passing but have received an overwhelming amount of support from fellow industry friends including Fab, Jadakiss, DJ Clue, DJ Envy, and more. 

The brothers will continue to grieve privately during this time.
