Although Rick Ross announced Pusha-T and Lil Wayne would feature on his "Maybach Music VI" track for Port of Miami 2, King Push’s verse was left from the final product, only to surface online the night before its debut.
Audiomack dropped the original track with Push’s verse, which was suppose to come last, in between Wayne and John Legend‘s outro. The collaboration would’ve marked the first time the two rappers appeared on the same track since The Game’s remix of "One Blood" in 2006.
According to Pusha-T’s fashion consultant Michael Camargo (Upscale Vandal on Twitter), Push gave permission to use the verse on Ross’ standout song. This has lead many to believe the verse was removed due to Push and Wayne’s beef, which initially stems all the way back to 2002. Others think the verse was cut because it took subliminal shots at Drake.
In an Instagram Live recording on July 23, Ross spoke about their beef, hoping to squash it. “I would love to see my n****s shine again, together…," he said. "And like I said, it may not happen on ‘Maybach Music VI,’ but I love my n****s anyway and it ain’t about that, it’s just about them n****s being great, living life, moving on."
