Westside Gunn Claps Back at Critic Accusing Him of Ruining Travis Scott’s ‘Lost Forever

In July, Travis Scott unveiled his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Utopia, featuring star-studded collaborations with The Weeknd, Drake, Playboi Carti, and even Dave Chappelle. One standout track, “Lost Forever,” featuring Westside Gunn, became a fan favorite. However, not everyone shared the same enthusiasm, as evidenced by a recent critical comment on social media.

A disappointed listener took to Twitter, expressing dissatisfaction with Westside Gunn’s contribution to “Lost Forever,” claiming it ruined the track’s potential. The user wrote, “@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.”

Westside Gunn, known for not holding back, responded promptly, reminding the user that the album, including his verse, received a Grammy nomination. Quoting lyrics from the track, he wrote, “‘Whipped the cocaine to the pot bust you was on the porch I was locked up.'” Westside Gunn addressed the comment as a form of bullying and emphasized his achievements, stating, “These type of comments are bullying; it makes me sad. I’m crying my fly pretty a** all the way to the Grammys.”

The exchange continued with jabs back and forth, as the user suggested Westside Gunn enjoy his “5 min of fame.” The artist responded by reiterating his Grammy nominations and highlighting his role as a curator and owner of Griselda Records, expressing a focus on creating art rather than accolades. The back-and-forth concluded with Westside Gunn asserting that he never aimed to be the best rapper but rather the “illest curator,” emphasizing his lasting impact.
