Bryson Gray (born May 24, 1991) is an American rapper, known for his work in the Christian hip hop and political hip hop genres.[1] [2] In 2021, his song "Let's Go Brandon", a diss track against President Joe Biden, reached the number one slot on iTunes.[3] [4] [5] [6]
Prior to becoming a conservative Christian rapper, Gray had made snap rap music under the stage name B.Surius, as well as electropop under the alias KingVodka. He first began his music career at 9 years old when he started going to his father's recording studio as a way to become proficient in rapping and producing beats. During high school, he started the snap group 336 Boyz with the assistance of his dad, his cousin and his six friends which included DJ Luke Nasty. Gray was gaining traction in his home state of North Carolina by getting his music played on local radio stations and was even featured on the BET series 106 & Park's Wild Out Wednesday segment with his group on a couple occasions.[7] [8] [9] In 2020, he explained he began putting his political beliefs in his songs after he "redpilled [himself] after going on conservative platforms and trying to debate them".[10]
In October 2021, Gray's upload of his song "Let's Go Brandon" was removed from YouTube for allegedly sharing "false medical information", although the song is still available through numerous reuploads.[11] His Twitter account was temporarily suspended in December 2022 after making comments about Elton John's sexuality. His account was subsequently reinstated after complaints by notable figures such as Jake Shields.[12]
Gray was invited to an interview on the BBC Scotland on a segment in November 2022. The question asked to him was in regard to Kanye West and allegations of West's antisemitism, Gray claimed that he thought the allegations were "without foundation". When asked about Kanye's comments on Jewish people, he began discussing Jewish businessmen Lucian Grainge of Sony Music Entertainment and Michael Lynton of Warner Music Group as proof that Jews controlled the music industry, leading to the host of the radio show ending the call and issuing an apology to viewers.[13]
In 2023, Gray released a song with singer Jimmy Levy and rapper Shemeka Michelle, "Reclaim the Rainbow", which debuted at the top of both R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and Rap Digital Song Sales charts for Billboard,[14] as well as number 3 on the iTunes charts.[15]
He was set to perform at the 2023 Lee County, Florida GOP Lincoln Reagan Dinner, but his performance was allegedly cancelled due to complaints by members that he had been critical of former President Donald Trump in the recent past. In response, he asserted that "only trumpers" are "ruining their own agenda" by engaging in cancel culture.[16]
On Christmas Eve of that year, Gray tweeted that the use of Christian imagery in the pin-up-style pictures of young conservative women, some clad in swimwear or lingerie, in "Conservative Dad's Real Conservative Women of America 2024 Calendar" was "demonic".[17] This started Calendargate, a controversy among conservatives online that continued into 2024.[18]
Gray has stated that his grandmother was a Black Panther. His father is an English teacher.[19]
Following the storming of the Capitol, Gray's father Gary took to social media to share that his son, Bryson, had been questioned by the FBI. Bryson retweeted him alleging that they questioned him as a result of people reporting him as a "terrorist".[20] In an April 2023 documentary short from Vice, he claimed to have been celibate for more than a decade.[21]
