Wild, I had no idea. Thanks to Jason for passing on from Complex:

Pusha-T is stepping away from the studio for a bit to try his hand in the food industry.

The DAYTONA rapper announced Monday that he’s teaming up with D.C. nightclub owners Wayne Johnson and Tony Perry to open up a ramen and craft cocktail bar called Kitsuen in the nation’s capital. After several setbacks, the high-end spot is set to open on New Year’s Eve in Washington’s burgeoning H Street Corridor.”
