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.

Bianca Censori Defies Hotel Dress Code in Scandalous Style with Kanye West

Bianca Censori

Earlier this week, Bianca Censori and her husband Kanye West were spotted at the iconic Chateau Marmont for lunch. The Australian model, known for her daring fashion choices, turned heads yet again with her provocative outfit. Censori sported a tiny pair of shorts, black heels, and a revealing white bikini top, which undoubtedly caught the attention of both onlookers and the hotel staff.

Despite Chateau Marmont’s strict business casual dress code, Censori’s nearly nude appearance did not elicit any complaints from the staff. This is not the first time Censori has pushed fashion boundaries at the luxury hotel. Earlier this month, she made headlines by arriving in a thong and later in a sheer nude mini dress paired with long stockings, heels, and a tan hat, while Kanye shielded her from photographers.

Keke Palmer Defends Tyler Perry Amid Misogyny Backlash, “The Real Enemy is the System!”

Keke Palmer

In a recent episode of her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer, Keke Palmer hosted Tyler Perry, sparking intense discussions online. Perry’s comments, addressing long-standing criticisms that his films often depict Black women in distress, went viral. Defending his creative choices, Perry stated, “A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised. Who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend. You’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything… Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”

Perry’s remarks led to significant backlash, including accusations of misogyny. In response, Keke Palmer took to social media platform X to defend Perry. She argued that critics are misdirecting their anger. “The enemy isn’t Tyler, it’s the system that makes it hard for multiple black artists to shine at one time,” Palmer asserted. “Oppression turns you against the person that gets the shine opposed to questioning why there can only be so few at a time. Tyler is not the gatekeeper of all black stories; he’s just one creative who broke through the system. Advocating for others to do the same is the fight, not hating Tyler for his work that many do love.”

Palmer also highlighted Perry’s significant contributions to the Black community in a follow-up tweet, noting his employment of numerous Black individuals and urging followers not to “blame his movies for oppression.”
