Pusha T Crowns Tyler, The Creator As The Biggest Clipse Super Fan He's Ever Met
During a recent interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music, the Daytona rapper singled out Tyler as the most passionate and informed supporter he's ever encountered.
'As a fan of the discography, Tyler is the number one Clipster,' Pusha T declared. 'He can tell me things about albums and the time periods and everything, from production to raps, when it comes to Clipse albums.'
Tyler has long worn his admiration for the Clipse on his sleeve, frequently citing them as key influences on his lyrical style and gritty sonic textures.
From his raw early mixtapes to the luxurious aggression of albums like Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler's reverence for the Virginia duo has been well-documented—and now, officially recognized by one-half of the group itself.
Pusha's comments arrive ahead of the Clipse's highly anticipated new album, Let God Sort Em Out, which is scheduled for release on July 11.
The project marks their first full-length studio effort in over a decade and is produced entirely by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams.
While some fans have expressed concern over the absence of fellow Neptunes producer Chad Hugo, the Clipse brothers are downplaying the impact.
'Absolutely miss Chad. As far as, you know, being on the album,' said No Malice during a conversation on Popcast. 'But I'll see Chad in the airport, in the street, at Buffalo Wild Wings, you know, in VA. Whatever they got going on, just hope for the best for that […] Whenever we see each other, it's always still love. Always.'
Pusha added: 'Everybody knows my favorite album is Hell Hath No Fury. Pharrell did that alone. That's it […] Pharrell's my guy, love Chad, too. We're brothers, we came up together. But, you know, when you say missing in the music, there is no missing in the music when it comes to the Clipse. And if it's just P, it don't matter—we find what we find.'
Let God Sort Em Out will feature appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Nas, John Legend, and more, with singles like 'The Birds Don't Sing' and 'Graveyard Shift' already signaling a return to the duo's signature mix of luxury, scripture, and street grit.

Apple's Secret to Keep Us Spending: New Subscription Perks in iOS 26
Apple's biggest product is the iPhone. But its second most important product isn't something you can hold in your hand or place on a desk -- it's subscriptions. These include Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus, iCloud Plus, Apple Arcade and Fitness Plus -- the content we can stream, play or access instantly with a monthly fee. Last quarter, these services brought in more revenue for Apple than Macs, iPads, wearables and accessories combined. Analysts predict these subscriptions are going to keep growing in revenue when Apple makes its third-quarter earnings report next week. And it could be Apple's most important product this year amid threats of tariffs and looming concerns of price increases, potentially causing some people to hold back from buying new devices. So for this week's episode of One More Thing, which you can watch embedded above, I wanted to highlight all the little-known updates Apple is bringing to its services this year. Some new perks, such as the Emoji Game and Apple Invites, are available now. But a handful of other features are coming in the fall with iOS 26, including Auto Mix on Apple Music and Ready-Made Custom Plans in Fitness Plus (which is different from Workout Buddy, a new AI feature coming to WatchOS 26). (You could be daring and try it out early with the iOS 26 public beta, but it's a better idea to wait for Apple to get any bugs out. But remember -- if you do want to give it an early go, don't install beta software on your main device.) All of Apple's subscription services can be bundled together with a plan called Apple One, and I find it's a great value for iPhone owners in a time when other companies continue to raise prices on their music and movie streaming plans. It's no wonder Apple wants to keep services fresh with new features. These subscriptions keep folks locked in as iPhone or Mac customers, so it's important for Apple to give them new reasons to continue paying monthly. And upcoming apps, including Apple Games, might just entice you to upgrade your Apple One package -- even if you don't upgrade your iPhone. If you're looking for more One More Thing, subscribe to our YouTube page to catch Bridget Carey breaking down the latest Apple news and issues every Friday.

Daniel Caesar Talks Working With ‘Genius' Tyler, the Creator, Says Justin Bieber ‘Can Sing His A– Off'
Daniel Caesar has an impressive list of collaborators on his resumé, from Tyler, the Creator to Justin Bieber. And in his Billboard cover story published Thursday (July 24), the R&B singer-songwriter opened up about what it's like to work with both superstars. Starting with his fellow Canadian, Caesar had only kind things to say about the Biebs. After they scored a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with collaboration 'Peaches' in 2021, the pair reunited on the pop star's 'Devotion' off new album Swag. More from Billboard After Getting 'Canceled' and Taking 'Accountability,' Daniel Caesar Is Beginning A New Chapter: 'I Almost Feel Like I'm Starting Again' Britney or Whitney? 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' Hot 100 Question Trips Up Drew Carey, Aisha Tyler & Audience Kesha Reveals Cassie Ventura Sent Her Flowers Ahead of MSG Concert: 'Love You Sweet Girl' 'He can sing his a– off,' Caesar tells Billboard Canada's Richard Trapunski of Bieber. 'He's also so open and kind and generous. I can spot a fellow Canadian when I see one.' On working with Tyler on Chromakopia, for which the rapper entrusted Caesar with giving notes on production, the latter said, 'I felt like, 'Who am I to tell you what you should do?'' 'He's a genius,' Caesar added of Tyler. 'He's such an important voice for our generation.' The love goes both ways. 'I think he knows he's so f–king ill now,' Tyler told Billboard of the singer, who is credited on several Chromakopia tracks. 'I think he kind of knew it … but now he's walking around like, 'Yes, my d–k is 15 inches.' That's that energy.' Caesar's cover story comes one day ahead of new song 'Have a Baby (With Me),' which will serve as the lead single to upcoming album Son of Spergy. The Oshawa native hasn't dropped an LP since 2023's Never Enough, which reached No. 14 on the Billboard 200 — Caesar's highest peak on the chart to date. On Son of Spergy, Caesar told Billboard that his next full-length is 'about religion, but more importantly, it's about my father.' 'In your childhood, your father is a lot like God,' he added. 'He's the person you fear the most on earth and also the person whose love and respect you desire more than anyone else on earth. It's the source from where all your blessings come.'

Britney or Whitney? ‘Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' Hot 100 Question Trips Up Drew Carey, Aisha Tyler & Audience
If only they had an 'Ask a Billboard Charts Fan' lifeline. On the season premiere last night (Wednesday, July 23) of ABC's Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, contestants Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler were cruising along, until they got to a question about the Hot 100. More from Billboard Britney Spears' 20 Biggest Hot 100 Hits, From '…Baby One More Time' to 'Hold Me Closer' Jamal Roberts Shares How His Life Changed Since Winning 'Idol' & Why He Never Wants to Leave 'Mississippi' Daniel Caesar Talks Working With 'Genius' Tyler, the Creator, Says Justin Bieber 'Can Sing His A- Off' The two stars (who each previously hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway?) had won $16,000 for their charities — La Maida Project and International Rescue Committee, respectively — when they were faced with the following question from host Jimmy Kimmel: 'With a whopping 11, which of these singers has more #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 than the other three combined?' The choices: 'A: Whitney Houston / B: Celine Dion / C: Tina Turner / D: Britney Spears' Carey and Tyler were originally on the right track. 'I think it's A or B,' Carey said. 'I actually think it's A or D,' Tyler countered. As they pondered the question further, they drifted toward Spears, given, in part, that Houston died in 2012. They decided to ask the audience, who voted and settled on Spears (60%) as the consensus correct answer, followed by Houston (38%) and rounded out distantly by Dion (2%) and Turner (0%). The pair trusted the audience and Tyler the delivered the fateful words: 'Britney Spears, final answer.' The correct answer then flashed in green … Whitney Houston. 'The answer rhymed with 'itney',' Kimmel consoled Carey and Tyler. Unfortunately not the students of the Billboard charts that they needed to be for that particular question, the tandem learned that Houston achieved 11 career Hot 100 No. 1s. Spears has scored five; Dion, four; and Turner, one. Houston's 11 leaders, between 1985 and 1995: 'Saving All My Love for You,' 'How Will I Know,' 'Greatest Love of All,' 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),' 'Didn't We Almost Have It All,' 'So Emotional,' 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go,' 'I'm Your Baby Tonight,' 'All the Man That I Need,' 'I Will Always Love You' and 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop).' Spears has topped the Hot 100 with '…Baby One More Time,' 'Womanizer,' '3,' 'S&M' (with Rihanna) and 'Hold It Against Me,' between 1999 and 2011. Houston boasts the ninth-most No. 1s in the Hot 100's 67-year history. The Beatles lead with 20, followed by Mariah Carey (19), Rihanna (14), Drake, Michael Jackson (13 each), Madonna, the Supremes and Taylor Swift (12 each). Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder (10 each) have also each earned double-digit totals. Despite their elimination, Carey and Tyler's night ended on an important positive, as they received $32,000 for their charities. Also good: the next Who Wants To Be a Millionaire contestants got their own Hot 100 question correct. Jeopardy host Ken Jennings and Kimmel frenemy Matt Damon knew that the briefest hit ever on the chart, Jack Black's 'Steve's Lava Chicken,' is from A Minecraft Movie. 'We hear that a lot in my house,' Kimmel noted of the 34-second-long (or, short) hit.
