Conway the Machine clarified where he stands with Eminem after Benzino name-dropped the Griselda rapper on the “Rap Elvis” diss track. Conway denied leaving Shady Records and praised Eminem in response to Benzino’s song.
“I just wanted to speak on a few things,” Conway wrote on Instagram. “I heard the @benzinoislegendary_ 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.”
He continued, “2. And most importantly, I F### WIT @eminem @rosenberg @mikaelheron @shadyrecords @50cent. And I could never feel any Ill feelings towards Em and them n#####. They gave some 35 year old street n##### 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 bein said, if you’re havin feelings or whatever towards bruh, leave me out of it please, cause I’m always gonna ride wit big bro.”
Benzino said Conway and others left Eminem’s label on “Rap Elvis.” Benzino listed former Shady Records artists and suggested Eminem never helped their careers.
“So let’s go down your stable, Gunn left your label/Benny left your label, Con left your label/Royce left your label, Joe Budden left your label/Ortiz left your label, no, Crooked I couldn’t save you/Yelawolf been out her flopping/And where the hell Ca$his at though/Heard from Obie Trice only twice and not a word from Stat Quo/With all them false lines that you pitched them/Shady Records sound like less of a name and more like a description,” Benzino rapped.
Benzino dropped “Rap Elvis” days after releasing an Eminem diss titled “Vulturius.” Their old feud reignited due to Eminem taking shots at Benzino on the song “Doomsday Pt. 2,” which appeared on Lyrical Lemonade’s All Is Yellow compilation.
