As caught by AllHipHop, social media blew up with Benny and Conway beef rumors during and after this show. According to online reports, eyewitnesses, and social media discussion, the two rappers did not perform together. Instead, they took the stage separately and reportedly came and moved in different crews.
Furthermore, the most notable rumor is that the two faced off in a physical and verbal altercation that they had to be separated for. Allegations also include that someone else pulled a knife out and that someone else knocked another person out. These last rumors don’t relate to the Griselda MCs specifically.
Take all of these rumors with a massive grain of salt, as neither artist has confirmed or denied any of this at press time. These are still just speculative rumors and online narratives, so don’t take them as gospel.
Conway The Machine Benny The Butcher Beef Rumors
Still, it’s understandable why many hip-hop fans hope Benny The Butcher and Conway The Machine thrive. Their chemistry, craftsmanship, and consistency – along with the rest of Griselda’s umbrella – has been a definitive strain of contemporary hip-hop for almost a decade now, especially in the 2020s.
However, both spitters also have other endeavors to think about and prioritize. In fact, these directions have drawn them a bit further from Griselda and on individual mogul paths. Benny has the Black Soprano Family (although this started around Griselda’s inception) and a Def Jam deal to work on, whereas Conway’s riding hard for his Drumwork Music Group collective.
As for where Griselda goes next, we will have to wait for more concrete information on these rumors to come to a conclusion. Also, there’s other rap beef to handle that is far more direct and surefire than these rumors. We’ll see what happens in the near future, and we hope everything lands in service of better days.
