Pusha T has been vocal about how his rap moniker came about — he says it was inspired by Ice-T's classic 1988 song "I'm Your Pusher."

In an interview with Revolt, Pusha recalled the story of meeting Ice-T and having the opportunity to thank him for his influence. “I seen him standing outside of a hotel one day and I actually did tell him,” Pusha said, adding that he took the opportunity to give the rap legend his flowers. "Right then and there, I had to.” 

Ice-T saw the clip and responded. "Absolutely nothing but Respect to [Pusha T]. Love is love,” he tweeted, adding that Pusha is "one of the best to ever do it."

Ice-T is also getting his flowers on another level – he's set to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this month. The rap legend went on Instagram to share the news. "When I think back about all the times I was arrested in Hollywood... This is a trip," he captioned the announcement.

The event, scheduled to take place on Feb. 17, will be hosted by Hip-Hop legend Chuck D, SVU co-star Mariska Hargitay and Law & Order creator Dick Wolf.
