There were a few rappers who received public kudos from the legendary 6 God during Drake’s recent Rap Radar interview, including rap collective Griselda.
Drizzy name checked the group multiple times and Benny The Butcher is making sure his personal shout out is taken seriously. On Thursday (December 26), Benny hit up Instagram and shared the clip where Drake gives him props.
“Let’s Go,” he wrote in the caption. “this would fuck niggas up.”[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Drake praised Griselda throughout his conversation with Rap Radar hosts Elliot Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller, especially once the topic turned to current Hip Hop music that inspires him.
“Just in our like rap rap space, I really like […] that whole like cliqueing up Griselda shit,” he said. “It’s just ill to me.”
Miller, who’s also a fan of the WWCD creators, asked if there was potential for a Benny and Drake collaboration.
“Yo, I’m down,” Drake replied. “I’m down. Benny showed me love on an interview one time too.”
Drake continued to commend Griselda, applauding them for bringing back a rap collective that’s inspired by classic Hip Hop.
“I think what they’re doing is great.” he said. “It just reminds me of a different time and it’s not easy to do. To make that music and just come off wavy and be interesting.”

I’ve been supporting Griselda for years!! Drake never supported real rap never!! real Hip hop fans supported and created this new Hip hop wave facts!! Now that we created our own lane that’s about to take over b!+(h ass Drake want to jump on it. F that if they colaborate I’ll stop supporting!!
You’ll stop supporting a good wave because the biggest (& wackest) rap/pop artist is giving recognition to artist that actually deserve it? You sound like a huge as clown right now.
Ayo satan is that you?? Pretending to be GOD defending this lil bitchass waverunning cloutchaser?? You a damn liar…
Anyways drake is not interesting. As for griselda collaborating with pop stars, yall heard that bang track right? Love Conway’s Benny’s and WsGs verses but i turn it off as soon as Em starts spittin that cringy verse I cant for the life of me get into that verse fucked up the whole vibe
I hate Drake and think he embodies much of what’s wrong with modern hip-hop. That said, he had Kendrick on his tour and let him do that “Buried Alive” solo joint on his album. He did the “WuTang “Forever” joint. He did those DMX samples on “Views.” Granted, he does Rihanna features far more often but he does rep real hip-hop from time to time.
Griselda’s rise is the product of promotional hype, not talent. While better to cosign such artists than the queen of promotional hype herself?
*who
No, they are dope rappers. Of course you need promotion to make it to the masses but you cant deny they are gifted.
Facts. Its not like they talk about where they’re from often right?
Facts, fucking idiots lol
Drake is corny as hell but Benny knows is he’s on a drake record it means dollars. I would hope they make Drake go on a hard track not one of his week ass pop beats. It’s only a matter of time before Griselda is putting out pop music.
what are you even saying? yea maybe griselda in there entire history will have a “pop” joint but your seriously tripping if you think they will become pop rappers… smh
Lmaooo he don’t even know what he’s saying smh people want to sound relevant but look so stupid. Drake would put them no name buffalo clowns on the map
Benny’s career is now over. Hip hop doesn’t fuck with drake. These buffalo niggaz want to sell out already. The pop audience will not buy hardcore beats. They like pussy ass beats for the radio. Hopefully, this will kill off drake’s career too.
yuh no, don’t be stupid
Lmaooo bruh NOBODY knows benny or any of them sorry New York clowns smh if you can’t outsell rich the kidd then something wrong. They still rapping like it’s 94 haha only old heads think they got “bars”
Drake Got Ties in Buffalo. He been hip to Benny for years. I think they could do something dope together… The purests want Griselda to stay underground… But they ahead working with roc nation it’s too late
Oh yeah! I know y’all want it. It’s on the way! We’re going to do it like it’s supposed to get done. As soon as he send me the track and his verse, my crew and I are going to write something Real NICE. Y’all know how I do!
As soon as I get the cadence down for the written verses in the booth, well send the master in to get mixed. It’s gonna be fire, my team writing bars right now for the feature.
everybody acting in the comments like a feature with drake will change eveything… shut your wack asses up unless you know what your talking about… this is what Drake does, always. Even if they do a record together it will be in Griselda’s world… Drake knows that and is probably happy to be apart of it. If you don’t fuck with Drake then whatever but this is only good for the group. Benny, conway or westside didnt do an interview saying how they wanted on a drake track, the reverse happened. Griselda will keep doing griselda… sign to eminem and jay z didnt change them so why the fuck would a feature from drake do it?
Having a feature with Drake will be like Mr.Rodgers having Scarface over on an Mr. Rodgers neighborhood episode.
He still reeling from getting boo’d at camp flognaw. Drake leave them street boys alone and go sing your pop songs.
Having a feature from drake has helped many careers smh what are you talking about hater?! He got boo’d at ONE festival and now you sleep better at night lmaoo sad life
An example of who’s careers he’s helped would be nice. Whilst we wait I’ll give a short list of careers he’s stolen from or jacked their style
Half of weeknd album
Q miller
Party next door
London grime scene
Dance Hall scene
NOOOOOOOO!
Just another murder victim for Pusha T
How many hits pusha had in the last decade? Exactly
Uh… Daytona premiered at #1 dummy. So, his entire last album? LOL
Premiering at #1 on what??? Definitely not the Top 200 maybe in his own genre.
Since when did having a number one album in anyway correlate with hits? It has never and oh Daytona peaked at 3 so your argument is invalid anyways
this would be wavy. A lot of kids in here who see the glass half empty you can just tell. Drake has created whole new lane with his influence that every artist is trying to drive in. A drake/Griselda could be very similar, planting the seed for a new wave of real rap. Don’t let your hate for a man shadow the potential this could bring
Drake has not created a new lane. He doesn’t write his own songs. The music is pop junk for the commercial fans. The use of autotunes means he can’t sing. Drake is a industry fraud. Go back to mtv’s after school special, bitch.
Griselda isnon fire rn. All their projects qre fire..wwcd is in a lg of its own
Lmaoo stop it bruh. NOBODY knows any of these irrelevant New York trash rappers. Drake gone come through and get him relevant like rich the kidd
Any man that feels the need to represent for an overly emotional sissy isnt much of a man himself.
What???
Nonstop yelling and corny gun shot noises over and over. Dont fall for it, its not music, its noise.
Griselda records will run out of steam. They put out too many albums. Wu-tang can release a fair amount of records because their talented. Griselda it’s quantity over quality.
greeaaat the biggest dickrider of the decade wants to do a track with Griselda. suprise suprise. i personally think this isnt a good look. benny only wants it because he know hell make alot of dough from this.
I love seeing that I’m not the only one that don’t FUCK wish Drakes Acting ass.!!! Dude is a Child actor, Playing a RAPPER…He is the BEST CANADIAN ACTOR OF ALL TIME!!!
BENNY….DONT DO IT !!!! Im waiting for that ” STABBED and SHOT pt2 with 38…Lets go !!
Do you hate yourself?
Benny will enjoy the money off of this one album
Then fade into obscurity when his fans no longer fuck with him. I hope the trade off is worth it. Score these dorks say he’ll have new fans because of Drake, he won’t. Drake fans will listen because of Drake, the second he bounces Benny is left with no one. All the rappers who fuck with Drake suck. Ross, Meek… he tried to get DOOM on shit, didn’t happen. Whatever Griselda. Sell out for money. You put out way too much shut anyways. You all were bound to fuck imo eventually.
Its an absolte win win for benny. Get cosigned by em and jayz..now drake.. sure most of his fans won’t stick around but he’ll pick up a lot of new ones
Its “sell your soul” season. Lube up your a-hole fellas
If Benny has sense he’ll stay away the people like GXFR for what they represent, the shady deal already watered that integrity down and a Drake collaboration could lose him fans. I think GXFR fans liked them best when they were underground in 2013/2014 it felt like something they were on nobody else knew about it was special soon as they become just another rap group they’ll lose there mystique and credibility plus the music isn’t evolving all the records sound very much the same similar dark looped production with Doot,doot,doot a reference to Virgil, some coke talk and westside declaring himself the greatest.
They cant even flow. They just holler and make stupidn ass sounds. I dont see what the hype is
You were born in the 2000’s guy dont lie
damn fool………..Benny can’t flow? You must be a failed rapper who was shitty as hell.
Bs is a must be a failed rapper to say Benny and Conway can’t flow. Benny is in the pocket on his deliveries, his cadence…..I’ll not use industry terms with a failed rapper……….but you are stupid if you think they can’t flow………but its all good. Not everyone likes JayZ or Emineem for that matter. Did that stop their success?
Howd a shady deal make him lose integrity. As long as em lets them be them its all good. And a drake collb would be good drake doesnt always sing
