Since his departure from G.O.O.D. Music, Consequence has been very vocal about the problems leading up to his dismissal from the label(Hit the jump for his MTV Rap Fix interview with Sway). It seemed like Consequence was Kanye West's right hand man when Kanye was first rising to stardom. However, as the G.O.O.D. Music roster got a little larger and Kanye became an icon in the industry, Consequence was seen less and less. The reasons behind his lack of exposure are often speculated.
Consequence claims that he was used and mistreated by Kanye West and had to practically fight to be featured on tracks. He was notably removed from XXL's G.O.O.D Music feature and wasn't present in the acclaimed G.O.O.D. music cypher from the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Recently, Consequence has taken shots at Kanye West, Pusha T, and even his cousin Q-Tip over issues including plagiarism and backstabbing. More specifically, Consequence claims Pusha T stole his "Last Supper" line and used it in Pusha T's "My God."
There hasn't been much talk from the G.O.O.D. Music camp, which I think has been the best thing to do up until this point. Right now, Consequence's vocal anger regarding the situation makes most think of him as bitter and looking for attention. It could be adding more fuel to the fire for Kanye West to respond.
The diss track, "The Plagiarist Society" has taken the beef to a new level. He verbally attacks Pusha T, bringing his brother and former manager into the situation, and calls him out for his constant mention of cocaine dealing. I'm curious to see how Pusha T will respond to the situation, if he does at all.
From the sounds of it, a Kanye diss track is up next from the Cons.
