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.

Megan Thee Stallion Shares Her Resilience and Grief In A New Documentary, “In Her Words”

Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion, celebrated for her fierce confidence and electrifying performances, recently opens up in a new documentary that delves deep into the intimate struggles behind her public persona. In “In Her Words,” streaming now on Prime Video, the Houston rapper and superstar bravely recounts one of her life’s most devastating moments: the heartbreak surrounding the death of her mother, Holly Thomas, in 2019. Megan’s experience of resilience and vulnerability shines as she shares the heartbreaking decision to take her mother off life support and how this tragic event of loss immensely impacted her life.

Throughout the documentary, Megan reveals how her mother’s health deteriorated rapidly due to back-to-back seizures, ultimately leaving her unresponsive and eventually brain-dead. Holly Thomas was more than just family; not only her mother but also her manager, mentor, and most prominent supporter. She had always been Megan’s guiding force, the foundation of her artistry, instrumental in shaping her career. With honesty and tenderness, Megan describes spending each day by her mother’s side, hoping for a miracle. But as time went on, watching her mother’s condition remain unchanged, Megan knew what her mother would want, facing the heart-wrenching realization that her mother would not come back to let her go.

“They had to put her under, and she was just brain dead,” Megan recounts. “I stayed up there every day… just praying that she could shake back from it,” she said. “But once I realized she wasn’t coming back, I knew I couldn’t keep her like this.” She made the decision, and her mother passed the following day.

The documentary highlights the depth of their relationship and the irreplaceable loss Megan faced. With her mother gone, she felt an unfamiliar emptiness. “When my mama passed away,” she shares, “I think I really forgot who I was. I lost a lot of confidence because I was so used to my mama telling me what to do.” The absence of her mother’s guidance hit Megan personally and professionally, leaving Megan adrift, grappling to rediscover herself alone amid her grief.
