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.

“Baby Fever” On Overdrive As Boosie Badazz Ready Plans to Expand His Family Right After Ninth Child!

Boosie Badazz

Boosie Badazz, the ever-vocal Louisiana rapper, is expressing his desire to expand his family. Earlier this month, Boosie and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, happily announced that they are expecting a baby girl, Boosie’s ninth child. They celebrated this joyous occasion with a vibrant gender reveal party surrounded by friends and family, but Boosie’s excitement for his baby’s gender hasn’t diminished his wish for a boy. He’s already thinking about the next phase of parenthood.

In a candid Instagram Live session, Boosie shared his thoughts with his followers. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he admitted. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that. Other people wait six weeks; I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.” His confident declaration indicates that Boosie is eager to keep growing his family, much to his fans’ amusement (and surprise).

While Boosie expresses his enthusiasm, Rajel Nelson has a slightly more traditional viewpoint. During her Instagram Live session, she shared her initial desire to be married before starting a family. “I did say I would like to be a wife before I have a kid,” Nelson reflected. “But God has blessed me to have a child before I got married, and that is okay. This is my baby. I made it. So, I’m just going to, you know, lay in my bed with it.”

Despite the whirlwind of baby discussions, Nelson remains grounded, particularly regarding public perception. She quickly dismissed critics who label her a “gold digger,” asserting that she is financially independent and does not rely on Boosie for her success. Regarding their relationship, Nelson suggests that the negativity aimed at her stems from others’ insecurities rather than her reality. As Boosie dreams of a tenth child and Nelson prepares for motherhood, fans wonder if wedding bells will ring before another gender reveal appears on their feeds. One thing is sure: this couple knows how to keep everyone talking.
