The announcement was not a surprise for those who had been following Pusha T‘s career closely. The GQ recognition was more of a grand opening event for the already established lyrical genius and the stylish rapper coming from Virginia. The powerful yet simple caption “ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS” reveals both Pusha’s methods of music and fashion—elaborate planning is done to the smallest detail, and every selection is intentional.
Social media was greatly active due to the recognition of the Clipse. One commenter said, “BIG BOY LOUIS DERBY TALK TO ME!!” linking to Pusha’s luxurious and expensive-looking footwear that is becoming more and more a part of his high-end look, and also nicely capturing the fashion moment. The comment thread turned into a celebration of Virginia’s pride; another user was pointing out: “You clean up super nice from VA to GQ”—recognizing the shift from local roots to global praise.
The Clipse award feels very significant as the rap duo has been absent but still continued to influence the hip-hop scene. One observer commenting on the situation said, “All I see are two Grammy Award winners,” and he was reminding that GQ award is recognizing a musical legacy that is even sharper than the suits and luxury brands. A different fan remarked that Pusha needs to be “stopped” as he is “too surgical” with his fashion, and this indeed shows how the artist keeps on giving the fashion moments that correspond with hitting the peaks.
This announcement coming during what appears to be a Clipse reunion period, adds greatly to the importance of the moment. The brothers’ solo years have turned into honoring them together as Men of the Year, pointing to the possibility that we may see the start of a new age for the legendary duo. The very photo is by Brendan Flood, and it features Pusha as he genuinely looks like the fashion icon that he has been for years, depicting the amazing mixture of street cred and high-fashion that has been his style for a long time.
Accompanying the GQ award with the hip-hop, fashion, and cultural influence triangle is really powerful as all these are areas where Pusha T and Malice have made their marks undeniably. The award reflected both the consistency and the change in journey, from the early days with The Neptunes to Pusha’s chairmanship at G.O.O.D. Music and now this recognition. “Yall shitting with these looks” is a good example of the general vibe—unconditional reverence for the way the Virginia natives keep raising their standards.

Besides cutting across all three—hip-hop, fashion, and cultural influence—in diverse shades and genres, the music and fashion worlds are super excited for the November 2025 issue to come out, and this announcement has been a reinforcement of Clipse’s lasting power. Pusha T’s position as a genuine style master has also been validated. The honor has come when both brothers are considered to be at their most creative peaks, thus the Mens of the Year award is more a landmark in the everlasting legacy of the top-notch excellence that continues to evolve rather than an end. For the fans who have been with the artists since the Virginia Beach days and until the worldwide acknowledgment, this moment feels both deserved and inevitable—a proof that a combination of great style and substance is indeed possible. The recent private jet life glimpse shared by Pusha T shows how far he’s come. Additionally, Las Vegas events with Adidas have been announced, and Big Boi recently performed with the duo at Ape Fest.
