Westside Gunn has responded to critics who have taken issue with him showcasing some Swastika-heavy cover art, and told his trolls that he loves all the hate.
The Griselda leader debuted the controversial, albeit fake, new cover art shortly after he was indirectly prompted to do so on Twitter by someone retweeting a news article involving bricks of cocaine labeled with Swastikas.

“This shit gon be a westside gunn album cover by next week,” the user wrote alongside a New York Post article, which covered a major drug bust in Peru.
Westside shortly after posted his own revamp of the aforementioned image, which includes the name “Hitler” embroidered in a brick of coke, and despite his successful Hitler Wears Hermes series, fans questioned whether the Buffalo rapper went too far posting the Nazi symbol on his Twitter timeline.
“Y’all cosign his nazi fetish but demonize Ye for saying love everyone. I can’t stand y’all n-ggas,” wrote one disgruntled fan, while another added that the photo was, “Wild.”
“Nga what are you talking about?” added another.

“WSG hate is the best shit on the internet,” Westside Gunn replied. “Bc while I’m getting hated on Im either in my mansion, a luxury vehicle, island with my entire family, or a 5star something in the best clothes money can buy, smelling great & worth MILLIONS or even places u couldn’t dare go bc I’m a [goat emoji].”
He continued: “I spit on bums your beneath me pew pew pew pew (that’s me spitting) pew pew pew pew (that’s me sitting more).”
While fans seemed eager about a potential Hitler Wears Hermes 11, the Pray For Paris rhymer just handled production on a new mixtape called Nacksaw Jim Dugan by rapper Estee Nack.
His last HWH entry, 10, dropped in 2022, featuring appearances from Black Star (Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli), Run The Jewels, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, DJ Drama and Doe Boy, as well as production from Swizz Beatz, RZA and The Alchemist, among others.
In other news, Westside Gunn recently unveiled the release date for his Pray For Paris sequel, & THEN U PRAY FOR ME, and he’s already labeled it “a classic.”
The Griselda rapper celebrated the third anniversary of his 2020 Pray For Paris LP last month by announcing that & THEN U PRAY FOR ME will be arriving on June 23 in the midst of Paris Fashion Week.
