Eminem Signs ATL Rapper GRIP To Shady Records

It looks like Eminem has himself a new artist on Shady Records. According to HipHopDX and other outlets, Eminem has signed rising LA rapper, GRIP, to a deal with Shady Records. The news was first revealed by GRIP, who shared a photo on twitter yesterday of himself posted up in the studio with Eminem and added a handshake emoji indicating they’ve sealed the deal. Slim Shady promptly retweeted the photo on Thursday, reiterating the news himself.

“It was one of those full circle moments because I grew up on Eminem so to have him reach out and let me know how dope my shit is was so cool. Excited to partner with Shady/Interscope and get the music out on a larger platform” – Grip said of his new deal. 

Label President Paul Rosenberg says, “Grip is the type of artist that brings you into his world and expresses himself through a complete composed body of work. If true album artists in this era are a rare breed- then Grip is a unicorn! We’re excited for him to join the Shady Records family.”

Shady Records’ roster currently consists of artists such as Boogie, Bad Meets Evil, Conway The Machine and of course Eminem, according to its website. Conway’s fellow Griselda member Westside Gunn was previously signed to the label but announced he’d left during an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast last November. “Um, I’m off Shady,” he told Budden. “I’m off Shady. I’m actually a free agent. It feels great. Who Made The Sunshine was it. I already spoke to Paul [Rosenberg]. Everything’s good. Like, everything’s signed, sealed and delivered I have my paperwork, like I’m off Shady.

GRIP is currently working on his debut album for Shady, coming later this year. In the meantime, check out his new single “Gutter” right here.

Dwyane Wade Responds To Faizon Love Claiming He Made Out With Gabrielle Union

During an appearance on Kwame Brown’s podcast, Faizon Love claimed that years ago, he made out with actress Gabrielle Union inside of a nightclub. “Gabrielle Union and I had a nice kiss in the club,” said the comedian. “It was me, Gabby, and Vince Carter. Ask Vince Carter about that night. Everybody knows about the infamous Faizon-Gabby tongue down.”

His admission started to go viral on social media before Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union’s husband, responded with a funny video imagining what things could have been like in an alternate reality where Faizon ends up marrying Gabby.

“What almost was [laughing emojis],” wrote DWade on Instagram, pasting Faizon’s face over his own wedding pictures. “@faizonlove thank you for this forever material I now have on my wife! #Wetsloppykisses #pettylevels.”

Gabby seemingly isn’t pleased about this information getting out there, commenting on her husband’s post, “[skull emojis] [laughing emojis] now you know damn well… [puking emoji].”

What do you think about Faizon Love and Gabrielle Union’s tongue down? And what about Dwyane Wade’s reaction to it all?

DWade doesn’t have much to worry about these days, living out his dreams and recently buying an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz. The retired NBA star has been making big moves in his post-playing career and he’s not worried about Faizon Love stealing his wife.
