Benny the Butcher addressed rumors about Griselda breaking up during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Friday. In doing so, he reflected on the rifts in their relationships over the years, but reaffirmed that they're "family."
“We got so successful that where the support was coming from, people backed up, because we was about to take over all this sh*t,” he explained, adding that they had to settle down and regroup. From there, he praised Conway The Machine in particular. "Conway, he’s always been the top spitter to me," Benny said. "He still is. You’d be hard-pressed to name five n****s who can get in the ring with him.”

People forget about that because of the run we had," he said. "I’ve never dropped a major album in my whole life. […] We’ve been running it for so long. And, you know, you’re sick of seeing that. […] When they don’t see us together, they be like, ‘Oh man, they must be beefing.’ Man, we’re family, you know what I’m saying?” Check out Benny The Butcher's full appearance on The Breakfast Club, below.
