Fox Sports host Shannon Sharpe felt the wrath of Griselda Records after taking a shot at Buffalo’s Hip Hop scene. Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher clashed with the NFL Hall of Famer via social media over some comments made by the former Denver Broncos tight end on his television show Undisputed.
While debating his co-host Skip Bayless during a recent episode, Sharpe dismissively asked, “What great rappers you know come out of Buffalo?” A Twitter user posted the clip and tagged the Griselda roster while telling the former NFL star-turned-television personality that he was out of touch.
@ShannonSharpe ummmm Unk….you kinda out of touch so let me update you. Don’t sleep on Buffalo rappers. The great rappers out of Buffalo is on @GriseldaRecords@WHOISCONWAY@BennyBsf@WESTSIDEGUNN

“Yep, I’m outta touch,” he wrote. “But, IF* you’re like that I prob shouldn’t have to google you.”
Sharpe later quipped, “Buffalo known for rappers like Ga known for avocados” and “Bet more ppl know Buffalo for wings than rappers. You outta touch IF* you think anything else.”

“Funny thing is I jus seen this ugly mufucka like a week ago at the airport in Atlanta,” Benny wrote. “i was the one with the big jewels you kept starring at.”
Sharpe fired back, “Bruh, I don’t know you.,Don’t take it personal. Hell, it’s a lot of ppl that don’t know me. Buffalo is still known for the Bills, wings and Rick James not rappers.”

Outside of the Griselda crew, The Roots drummer Questlove sent a more respectful message to Sharpe about the Buffalo diss.

“Lol Chill Shannon….. @WESTSIDEGUNN @WHOISCONWAY @BennyBsf @Daringer_ are the NOW,” he wrote. “I guarantee you just made the next Griselda release intro. Trust Me On This!”
If Questlove’s right, it wouldn’t be the first time Sharpe’s been sampled for some music.
Check out one example below.
