Pusha T's Grandma in Heaven: Rapper Celebrates Clipse's 'Jeopardy!' Moment
Pusha T shares a touching message about his late grandmother after Clipse was featured on Jeopardy!, highlighting their Vatican performance and Grammy nominations.
You know you've truly arrived when you're a clue on Jeopardy! And that's exactly what happened to Pusha T, who shared a heartfelt message on Tuesday (Jan. 27) about watching the classic game show with his late grandmother.
During Tuesday's Tournament of Champions episode, a clue about Clipse—Pusha's rap duo with his brother Malice—appeared in the category "It Happened in 2025."
"In 2025, Clipse gave the first-ever rap performance in this city-state during the ‘Grace for the World’ concert," host Ken Jennings read. After two incorrect guesses, one contestant correctly answered: "What is the Vatican?" To which Jennings quipped, "Even less rapping the Vatican."
Pusha celebrated the Jeopardy! mention with a touching message dedicated to his late grandmother, who loved the show.
"Hey Shank (my grandmother in heaven) we made it!!!" he wrote on Instagram, sharing the Jeopardy! clip. "Watching @jeopardy was what we would do every night…I was too young to know the answers but turning the tv wasn’t an option. I caught on quick and it became ‘our’ thing…look at your grandsons."
He concluded, "Hope you were watching and playing along tonight."
Adding to the moment's sentimentality, the Thornton brothers' performance at the Grace for the World concert at the Vatican in September included a poignant rendition of "The Birds Don’t Sing" from Let God Sort Em Out, a tribute to their late parents.
"I’ve been here for a long time with hip-hop, and I remember it not being seen as an art, and it not being televised," Pusha stated in an interview with VIBE. "… Now being at the Vatican — we do this so everyone can see how far it can go."
Clipse is nominated for five awards at Sunday’s 2026 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for their acclaimed 2025 project Let God Sort Em Out. They are also scheduled to perform with Pharrell at the show. Furthermore, Billboard recently named Clipse the Comeback of the Year as part of their Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 list, recognizing their successful return with their Billboard 200 top five album.
