1. Big Naughty and Swings, What Started the Conflict?

The starting point of the conflict between Big Naughty and Swings is the termination of their agency contracts. Big Naughty had reached a verbal agreement with Swings' We The Plug but unilaterally terminated it and moved to H1ghr Music.

 

Afterwards, Big Naughty repeatedly stated that "hip-hop doesn't suit me" and showed a dismissive attitude toward the hip-hop scene, and Swings, who was sincere about hip-hop, was greatly disappointed by this.

 

The conflict escalated at a party involving Giriboy. Swings stated during a live broadcast, "Big Naughty pushed first, and I retaliated." Swings claimed that this scene was captured on CCTV and that Big Naughty also confirmed it.

 

Afterwards, at Han Yo-han's after-party, the two reconciled by hugging and exchanging DMs, but Big Naughty publicly dissed Swings during a performance even after that.

2. What is the reason Big Naughty released a diss track?

 

Big Naughty took a direct shot at Swings by releasing 'INDUSTRY KNOWS' on April 16, 2026. The main arguments contained in the diss track are three:

 

First, there is the allegation that Swings promised support to his affiliated artist in exchange for a sexual relationship. Second, there is the claim that he sold neighboring rights without the artist's consent to pay off debts and purchase a Porsche. Third, there is the allegation that he assaulted him when he was twenty years younger.

 

The Big Naughty-Swings beef is not merely an emotional feud, but an incident that brought to the surface structural conflicts surrounding the agency's management style and the treatment of artists.

3. Detailed Summary of Swings' Live Stream Explanation

Swings directly refuted each allegation through a live broadcast on the same day.

With the company's bank account depleted after borrowing an advance of approximately 12 billion won from Kakao in connection with the sale of adjacent rights, there was a risk that the artists' monthly earnings would be attributed to Kakao if things continued this way.

 

To prevent this, we negotiated with several companies, including Musicow, for about a year and a half and sold a portion of the music for approximately 14 billion won. Of the proceeds, 9 to 10 billion won was distributed to the artists, and the remainder went to the company's operations. It was stated that it was used as funds.

Regarding the assault, Swings stated, "Big Naughty was the one who was intoxicated, and he pushed first." He emphasized that he has CCTV footage, text messages, and witnesses.

 

He denied the allegations of coercion into sexual relations as groundless. He countered by asking, "What do you think is the reason Noel and Yang Hong-won renewed their contracts?"

4. Giriboy's Stance and Reactions to the Adjacent Rights Controversy

Giriboy personally stated his position on social media. He confessed that he was stunned upon receiving notification that the songs he had built up over more than 10 years at Just Music were being sold overnight. He revealed that there had been two rounds of discussions regarding the sale, and that he opposed it both times and even sought legal advice.

 

Ultimately, I understood and agreed that it was an unavoidable situation, but I firmly stated, "If I go back, I won't sell it."

Swings on a live stream He stated that he was taken aback and hurt by the reaction along the lines of, "You got paid, so why?" After posting this, Giriboy deleted his social media account.

5. Current Situation and Future Outlook

 

The possibility has been raised that the diss battle between Big Naughty and Swings could escalate into a legal dispute.

 

Swings expressed his determination to prove the facts, citing CCTV footage, text messages, and witnesses as evidence. There is also a view that the claims of forced sexual relations and embezzlement in Big Naughty's diss track may constitute the dissemination of false information and defamation.

 

Across the hip-hop scene, there is a growing trend to expand this incident beyond a simple beef into a discussion regarding the advance payment structures and neighboring rights attribution practices of small and medium-sized labels. It is highly likely that both Big Naughty and Swings will release further statements, and the controversy is expected to continue for the time being.
