Yesterday, former Shady Records artist, Conway The Machine, has responded Benzino for mentioning him on his latest Eminem diss song, called “Rap Elvis.”
In the song, the former co-owner of The Source magazine raps: “Okay, you found 50, and you put on five Detroit ni–as / Rest in peace to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy / So let’s go down your stable (Okay) / Gunn left your label (Uh huh) / Benny left your label (That’s right) / Con’ (Conway) left your label (Ah) / Royce left your label, Joe Budden left your label (Damn), Ortiz left your label, know Crooked I couldn’t save you (Nah), Yelawolf been out here floppin’ and where the hell Ca$his at though? (Where he at?) / Heard from Obie Trice only twice and not a word from Stat Quo (Not a word) With all them false lines that you pitched them / Shady Records sound like less of a name and more like a description (Stop it).”
Conway responded Benzino on Instagram by posting pictures with Eminem. In the caption, the Buffalo rapper wrote: “Peace! I just wanted to speak on a few things. I heard the Benzino joint and I just need to clear this up for everybody. 1) I didn’t LEAVE shady records. Also I never wanted to leave the label. My contracts were simply fulfilled. 2) And most importantly, I F–K WITH EMINEM, ROSENBERG, SHADY RECORDS, 50 CENT and I could never feel any ill feelings towards Em and them ni–as. They gave some 35 year old street ni–as from Buffalo that’s been shot in the head and did jail sentences a chance and a opportunity to make it out the hood and take care of my family. So I’m forever thankful for that. So with that being said, if you’re having feelings or whatever towards bruh, leave me out of it please, cause I’m always gonna ride with big bro.”
Under the post, Busta Rhymes replied with “Crown” emojis. Kid Vishis also wrote: “Benzino just not meant to win.” Marv Won, Marv Won, who was also namedropped in the diss and has recently supported Eminem, replied with “Folded Hands” emojis.
Benzino also responded to Conway: “Nothing but love bro. Gotta respect loyalty. I bang your s–t constantly. It’s a battle bro but he shot first. And the Coi line was unnecessary. So I’m gonna finish him. It’s great for hip-hop.”
