It’s been a rough week for Griselda’s Westside Gunn. This past Wednesday (October 27) the “Julia Lang” rapper took to Twitter to declare that his smallest chain costs more than Mr. T’s entire golden ensemble. Taking issue with the comment, Mr. T’s daughter, Erica Nicole Clark, responded to the claim by suggesting that her famous father not only owned all his jewelry, but it was all real and actually gifted to him.
Difference is…
All of it was real..
All of it was given to him
All of it is his.
He still has all of it..
And he was a movie star, TV star, commercial star with bedsheets. Pajamas, Lunch boxes, dolls, cereal, cartoons, Wrestlemania, albums…
He's my dad too?— erica nicole clark (@ComicEricaClark) October 27, 2021
After that Tweet, the trolls came out and began to roast Westside Gunn claiming that Gunn’s jewelry was fake and even brought up rumors that Griselda rappers had been robbed at one point or another.
Things only got worse when the Buffalo rapper proclaimed to have been dropping classic music over the span of his career when he tweeted: “I drop classic after classic, just dropped a flawless double album 33songs.”
Y’all been talking about me Alot in the blogs lately it’s a shame y’all don’t do that when I drop classic after classic, just dropped a flawless double album 33songs…. guess negativity is the only thing that matters not the Culture ??♂️

Trolls and haters were quick to pounce on the claim. One IG user who goes by the name of djrichroc suggested that Westside Gunn’s music isn’t known outside of this side of the hemisphere and even went as far as to call him a “one trick pony” after Gunn attempted to clown the IG user for being a DJ and a dancer.

Eventually, the embattled rapper praised the legendary actor saying he “idolized” him and pointed out he named one of his songs after him even before clapping back at people who tried to diss him over the original post.
I wasn’t dissing him at all I actually idolized Mr T hence My fav song I ever made is called Mr T y’all just quick to jump on dick, but I can say this u can say I’m trash all the time &that’s fine we know I’m a legend but what are u? 2tone head look like a Rottweiler ? https://t.co/adgOy5uAwn
