When Griselda's interview with Elliott Wilson first released, there was a lot of controversy over comments made by Westside Gunn about how the Buffalo-based collective stacks up against TDE and Dreamville.

"All of this in one year," said WSG in December 2019 about Griselda's slate of new projects that year. "And we not mentioned in this one year and we not mentioned as the top group. Like, you're still going to mention TDE, you're going to mention Dreamville. Dreamville or TDE didn't do it."

Because of that remark, the often-described leader of Griselda was forced to clarify on numerous occasions that he did not have any animosity toward those two labels.
