Travis Scott’s July album Utopia was a hot topic due to him once again not listing the features. Westside Gunn was among the many guest appearances on this album and recently addressed those who claimed he ruined the track “Lost Forever.”
The Buffalo rapper gave fans a snippet of a new record he was working on via X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday (Jan. 8). One fan commented the next day (Jan. 9), writing, “@WESTSIDEGUNN ruined one of the best tracks on UTOPIA with his annoying high pitched voice.. LOST FOREVER had the potential to be the best track on there.”
The Griselda member countered by quoting a line from his verse on that track: “Whipped the cocaine to the pot bust you was on the porch I was locked up.” He shrugged off the insult and wrote, “These type of comments is bullying it makes me sad I’m crying my fly pretty a** all the way to the Grammys,” which was bookended by laughing emojis.

That same fan continued going back and forth with Westside Gunn, asserting that this Grammy nomination would be his only one. The Pray For Paris rapper countered and corrected the fan, saying it was his fifth overall nomination, which prompted the fan to do some research on Grammy.com.
He uncovered that the 41-year-old rapper was only listed as having two Grammy nominations. Gunn corrected the X user once again and listed the five artists who he worked with that had Grammy-nominated efforts: The Free Nationals, Royce Da 5’9″, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, and Travis Scott.
Time will tell whether Gunn will be able to lay claim to being part of a Grammy-winning album, but he continues to churn out the music regardless. He joined Conway The Machine and The Alchemist to close off December 2023 with the nine-track project Hall & Nash 2, just two months after releasing And Then You Pray For Me. Listen to Hall & Nash 2 below.
