Swings & Giriboy Reunite: Clearing the Air After 'BIG Naughty Diss Track' Controversy

Rapper Swings has captured the attention of hip-hop fans by sharing a recent update showing him gathered with Giriboy, Kid Milli, and others.

On the 10th, Swings posted a photo on his social media showing him enjoying a meal with Han Yo-han, Giriboy, Kid Milli, and sAewoo—all of whom were once part of the same label. In the photo, the five of them are seen chatting with bright expressions at a restaurant.

What particularly caught the fans' attention was Giriboy's presence. Although Giriboy, wearing a cap, partially covered his face with his hand, his appearance at the gathering alone drew surprise and delight from fans.

In the past, Giriboy had been caught up in rumors of a subtle conflict with Swings during the controversies surrounding Just Music and AP Alchemy. Following a diss track released by BIG Naughty last year, suspicions arose that Giriboy might have provided the related information, leading to criticism from some fans.

At the time, Giriboy expressed his frustration regarding the sale of neighboring rights on social media, stating, "It was difficult to see my career and the songs I've built up for over 10 years being sold overnight." However, regarding Swings, he clarified that he had no intention of escalating the conflict, saying, "I don't have any hard feelings now, and I hope he does well."

Later, Swings also revealed through a live broadcast that he had spoken with Giriboy directly over the phone, saying, "There was a misunderstanding. I feel sorry about the issue regarding the neighboring rights." He added, "Giriboy and I have lived together since we had no money," and urged fans to refrain from excessive criticism toward him.

Regarding the meeting between Swings and Giriboy, fans are reacting with comments such as, "I guess everything worked out in the end," and "As expected of 'Wing-baji' (a nickname for Swings)."

Meanwhile, Swings recently revealed during a live broadcast that "I am holding on by borrowing money from acquaintances to pay off the company's debts," adding that while AP Alchemy is currently in a deficit, he is continuing to operate it alongside his artists.
