In a Q&A session hosted on her Instagram Stories, Pusha-T’s wife Virginia Williams opened up about how she feels different than the wives of other rappers.

Williams was asked if it was “hard dating a celebrity,” and suggested that she initially felt awkward about it because she didn’t look like the partners of other rappers all that much. “If I’m being honest, INITIALLY the only thing hard about it was being ... ok with being the oddball in the room,” she wrote. “Not looking like a ‘rapper girlfriend/wife.’ I use to feel awkward amongst the women who had a fake ass bodycon dress and cake face, but for a while now I’ve thought I’m way cooler.”

Pusha-T and Williams got married in 2018 after 11 years of dating, and twelcomed their first child together, Nigel Brixx Thornton, in 2020. Besides the rare photo shared on her Instagram account, Williams is rather private when it comes to her family.

Meanwhile, King Push has plans to follow-up his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, It’s Almost Dry later this year with a DJ Drama-presented Gangsta Grillz mixtape. “I just feel like to me, the Gangsta Grillz and the whole mixtape culture and scene is what I’m about. That’s the purest form of hip-hop to me,” said Push in an interview with Complex earlier this year. “I’m going to be honest with you, seeing Drama’s mixtape with Tyler and how they won a Grammy, I was like, man, mixtapes really won a Grammy. So I’m trying to be a part of that culture as well.”
