Griselda Records leader Westside Gunn is on an incredible run. After signing a Roc Nation management deal along with Benny The Butcher earlier this month, he achieved another grand milestone on Wednesday (August 28) — and it literally hits even closer to home.
Byron Brown, the mayor of Buffalo, New York, officially proclaimed August 28 as Alvin “Westside Gunn” Worthy Day in the city.
“Mr. Worthy is a proud Buffalo native who is achieving great success in the music industry, having recently signed a management deal to [JAY-Z’s] Roc Nation label,” Brown tweeted.
“Words can’t describe the feeling I have … I work harder than anybody I know and it’s paying off in the community,” Westside wrote via Instagram. “I thank my city BUFFALO for supporting me and GXFR this is just the beginning.”
In addition to accepting the proclamation from the mayor, Westside and his team also held a backpack giveaway for children in Buffalo.
Check out photos and video of Westside receiving the special honor from his hometown below.

Proud Canadians rejoice!!!
It literally is though… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Flygod! Best movement in the game.
So it’s really GhostFace day?
So they are actually celebrating Ghost Face Killer day?
With his statue covered in snow 9 months out of the year.
This motherfucker calls himself the “fly god” yet constantly dresses like an 8 year old who’s mom just got that child support check. You know what would look right with my matching camp hoodie and shorts, the hoodie has a shark face on it mind you… A bright red hat and some neon yellow shoes. He is 37 by the way. LOL. Clown.
yeah, not a good look for this event.
I don’t care what he wear but he should look decent,,
Reminds me of a 15 year old who is trying to express himself thru fashion.
I didnt even see him at first cause he had the camo on
Somebody mad they cant dress how they would want, im sure u have to wear your business casual attire cuz your boss will fire u if you don’t, but dont knock the next man for making his OWN business moves and now is able to dress how he want to dress. Ol hatin ass employed nicca get ya own YA OWN YA HEARD.
Why can’t Benny get a show in the city tho ?!?!
Gangbangin
To the dude dissing Westside Gunn’s attire – GXFR stands for GRISELDA By Fashion Rebels. Now if he wore some’ol regular shit, then he wouldn’t be considered a “fashion rebel” would he?? Think before you speak.
But isn’t this guy rhyme about selling drugs and killing people? How someone who is a criminal can have his day given by the mayor? Is the mayor of Buffalo OK with selling drugs and other criminal activities in his city? Has he listen to any of WestsideGunn album?
Or WestsideGunn never shot anyone and didn’t sell any drug? He just rhymes about it. Can someone explain?
