Westside Gunn is speaking out after the WWE allegedly threatened to sue him over his music and album covers.

On Saturday, November 8, the Buffalo native took to his X account and accused the veteran wrestling league of kicking him out of 'Monday Night RAW.' He shared a video of a security guard escorting him out of the match after he spent over $5,000 for his seat plus travel and lodging. From there, he claimed that the WWE sent him a cease and desist letter over using images of wrestling figures for his album covers, including his most recent release, HEELS HAVE EYES 3.

“Before I even say this, just know GOD IS THE GREATEST,” Gunn began. “For YEAAAAAARS I mean NOBODY w/ 2 feet has spent the amount of $ I have supporting and pushing a brand I’ve loved since I could remember. I sat front row at EVERY BIG SHOW literally.”

"On my soul I’ve only been respectful," he continued. "I tried having conversations with 1 individual bc he’s causing all of these unnecessary cases and tbh he hates seeing a young black successful entrepreneur that could afford those seats and have to watch those chains dance across that screen.

"Monday night raw starts at 8pm I was kicked out by 803 after spending 5k for a seat plus travel, hotel etc…. in my own city for absolutely NOTHING!!!!" he explained. "No lie the kid in me heart broke that day… I put the billboard up that MILLION DOLLAR MAN billboard up which he loves and I wanted to push him in the culture bc he deserves it and to shOW VIRGIL love for the culture I get a letter saying ………:

Westside Gunn has been a loyal superfan of WWE and has made plenty of wrestling references in his music over the years. His recent project featured The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase and Virgil, two legends who wrestled during the WWF era, on the cover. Gunn eventually switched up all the album covers from the HEELS HAVE EYES trilogy to images of Joshua Bishop, who's the first wrestler signed to the rapper's 4THROPE wrestling league.

As of this report, the WWE has not responded to Westside Gunn's allegations. Nonetheless, you won't see the Griselda founder at any of their shows in the future.
