The Griselda earns their first gold certification
The Griselda earned their first gold certification this week after Benny The Butcher and J. Cole’s “Johny P’s Caddy” sold over 500K units in the US, but many fans were surprised that this is their first ever RIAA palque. Westside Boogie came to the group’s defense via Twitter on Thursday (April 13), urging fans to show tangible support by streaming their music, however, he did point out that he “never did it for” numbers.
“It’s krazy how everybody keep saying “Damn that’s y’all first gold plaque” YEA NIGGA go Fuckin play our shit allday like the suckas play that bs &run the #s up that just shows u how much support y’all really could be doing more 🤷🏽♂️ but I never did it for that so I still love u all,” Westside Gunn wrote.
Earlier on, Benny The Butcher had also shared his reaction to the gold plaque on Twitter, writing: “No hook no trap beat and off an independent label if I’m not top three in yall beloved boom bap genre then who is 🤷🏾 Griselda is the illest.”
