Pusha T has copped a diamond-encrusted chain that’s inspired by the man he considers the best rapper in the game.
The new piece, which is an anchor, was shared by the jeweler who made it in an Instagram post on Saturday (June 8). A picture of a young JAY-Z punctuates the carousel of images — in it, he can be seen rocking a similar item.

“The Anchor inspired by the culture, art, and history,” reads the caption, written by Saint Jewels. “Made for @kingpush Pavé diamonds on solid white gold accented by a bronze rope, reverse set diamond end points. Multifaceted classic briolette cut diamonds handle the steering wheel.”
Sharing said photo of the mogul to his Instagram Stories, Push added: “The inspo.”
JAY-Z contributed a coveted verse to Pusha T’s single “Neck & Wrist” for his 2022 album It’s Almost Dry.
Following the project’s release, Hov fans celebrated lyrics such as “They like, ‘If BIG was alive, Hov wouldn’t be in his position’/If BIG had survived, y’all would have got The Commission” and further exalted the Brooklyn-bred legend.
During an interview with SiriusXM’s Hip-Hop Nation, the self-proclaimed “Cocaine’s Dr. Seuss” expounded on the respect and admiration he has for the billionaire, anointing him as the G.O.A.T. in doing so.
“Hov, to me … he’s the best rapper, like just period,” Push said. “So when I reach out to him about a record, I feel like he sort of knows that, like, you know I’m not reaching out to him about no bullshit … I must really think that this is like, a joint … something that’s gonna add to the great legacy that he has.”

The former Clipse MC went on to explain how their songwriting process worked.
“I’ll basically just write the verse, lay the hook down, I do everything and just send it to him with a space open,” he continued. “He’ll hit back, and this particular time he was like, ‘Man, what you want me to say to this man? You going crazy!’ And I was like, ‘Man, just, you know, turn it up.’

“I only send records to him when I feel like there’s more needed to the record and there’s nothing else I can really say to it. Where he’s made it in his career and in his life he can always add an uptick to the record. I can’t say what he says.”
