Griselda Throws Shade at Shady Records on Twitter

Buffalo rap crew and record label, Griselda, which includes Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine and Benny the Butcher, have thrown shade at Eminem’s Shady Records, their parent label.

On Sunday evening (June 28), just ahead of the 2020 BET Awards, Westside Gunn tweeted, “I wonder do @ShadyRecords know we’re nominated for a BET AWARD tonight.” The powerhouse’s official Twitter responded to the tweet using a GIF of Jay-Z from when he performed “Picasso Baby” back in 2013 at Pace Gallery in New York City. In the GIF, Hov is shaking his index finger and mouthing “nah.” Griselda was nominated for Best Group against Chloe x Halle, City Girls, Earthgang, Jackboys and the Migos.

Back in 2017, Shady announced that they signed Griselda, which is also the name of the crew’s label, to an exclusive deal for solo and joint projects from Gunn and Conway. “We’re bringing a new sound to the game, but it’s also reminiscent of the grimey 90’s,” Griselda’s founder said at the time, according to Shady Records. “Art is in everything we do…it’s the essence. We’re fusing boom-bap/dark sounds with the hipster cool kid lifestyle. A new lane is being carved.”

While Em hasn’t addressed the slight jab, this isn’t the first time he’s been called out recently. Last week, an unreleased Eminem verse on Conway The Machine’s “Bang” leaked, which includes disses towards Joe Budden and Revolt TV. Joe didn’t respond to the record, but Revolt did.

“Shout to Puffy Combs, but fuck Revolt,” he raps. “Y’all are like a fucked up remote/Now I get it why our button’s broke/’Cause you pressing him but do nothing though, especially when it comes to punches thrown.”

Revolt replied via social media, writing, “Fuck you too Eminem.”

The Detroit spitter addressed the verse days later, saying it was an unnecessary distraction and that he never intended for the record to be released. He also said the track made its way online following a WeTransfer hack.

Keyshia Cole’s Instagram Drama, Reactivation Sparks Firestorm Over Hunxho’s Steamy Shots with Gloss Up

Keyshia Cole’s Instagram Drama, Reactivation Sparks Firestorm Over Hunxho’s Steamy Shots with Gloss Up

Keyshia Cole‘s Instagram hiatus was short-lived, but the drama it stirred certainly wasn’t. The R&B star recently made waves by deactivating and then reactivating her account, all to address the sizzling controversy surrounding her boyfriend, Hunxho, and Gloss Up’s latest collaboration.

Earlier today, Gloss Up dropped the music video for their joint track “Come Here,” sending fans into a frenzy. But while the audience was grooving to the beat, Keyshia Cole was feeling anything but love. The video showcased Gloss Up and Hunxho in intimate scenes, from twerking to bathtub hangs, raising eyebrows especially since Cole and Hunxho only recently went public with their relationship.

In a swift social media move, Cole briefly disappeared from Instagram, prompting speculation. But Gloss Up’s subsequent posts, featuring cozy shots with Hunxho and suggestive captions, sparked Cole’s reactivation and a fiery clapback.

“Him playing the ‘sneaky link’ while I’m here thinking marriage? That’s just low,” Cole exclaimed, punctuating her response with laughter. Despite her disappointment, she extended well wishes to Gloss Up’s project, albeit with a hint of sarcasm.

The timeline of the photos remains a point of contention, with Cole asserting they were taken pre-relationship. Yet, Gloss Up’s persistent taunting on social media, including retweets hinting at a prior connection with Hunxho, keeps the tension alive.

As the internet buzzes with opinions on Gloss Up’s video and Cole’s candid reaction, Hunxho himself has remained relatively silent, save for a cryptic tweet. The drama continues to unfold, leaving fans eager for more updates.

What’s your take on Gloss Up’s provocative video and Cole’s unfiltered response? Join the conversation below, and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for the latest developments.
