Benny The Butcher issued a warning to fans supporting his Black Soprano Family apparel. The Griselda Records MC shared a text about a man with BSF gear getting arrested for a parole violation because Buffalo police allegedly claimed the merch is gang-affiliated.
“If u buy a shirt from me your gang related according to Buffalo Police and Parole,” he wrote on Twitter. “be careful.”
Benny was alerted to the situation by someone named Mrs. Patty, who texted him the following message:
“Hi sweetie its Mrs. Patty just tried to call you,” she wrote. “Streets said call you, he got arrested for parole violation his officer claiming the BSF shirts, hats and t shirts book bags are gang related and charging him for parole violation.”
Benny’s BSF brand facing scrutiny from Buffalo police comes a few weeks after Conway The Machine was handcuffed in the Griselda crew’s hometown. Although Conway was never taken into custody, he was put in cuffs by law enforcement officials amid the late DJ Shay’s funeral proceedings.
Shay was a respected member of the Buffalo Hip Hop scene who mentored the Griselda artists. Conway paid tribute to the DJ on his From King To A God album, which dropped on September 11.

Buffalo Police are some of the WORST!!!!! Been Grimy since the “Grimy 90’s”
Fuck Tha Police!
Guys promoting the fact he and who he runs with drug deal, keep guns and kill people on every song. Gee I wonder why the cops would think that
So you a fan of his listening to his music, and you loggin on with the doucher comment, gotta wonder bout u. Doesn’t give the cops the right to profile someone for wearing clothing, as a fan of the music that’s insane.
It’s not that insane, they’re not profiling them for there clothing they’re profiling them for there content. And best believe they’re even trying to use there lyrics against them as evidence. Hip Hop Police been around for a minute.
Thats like saying they should profile people who make gangster movies, it’s entertainment nothing more nothing less
Lol you ever read a US History book ? It’s all about theft, murder, and violence. You have a problem with Benny you should have a problem with that.
