"Earning five GRAMMY nominations independently is a remarkable achievement, and we're extremely proud to stand beside Clipse as they make history once again."

The achievement also coincides with the release of the duo's GQ Men of the Year cover, continuing Clipse's legendary 2025 run. In the cover story interview, Pusha T made his intentions for the 2026 Grammys clear, saying "Bringing home that hardware would mean everything. We going for it."
