What did Pusha T say about Sophie Brussaux?
Sophie was referenced in Pusha's aforementioned track in the lyrics below.
"Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother /
Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her /
A baby's involved, it's deeper than rap /
We talkin' character, let me keep with the facts /
You are hiding a child, let that boy come home /
Deadbeat motha****a, playin' border patrol, ooh /
Adonis is your son
And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that's real /
Love that baby, respect that girl /
Forget she's a pornstar, let her be your world"
