The Sway boys are the kings of TikTok diss tracks as Josh Richardsā and Bryce Hallās āStill Softishā was a massive hit. After witnessing his friendsā success, Griffin JohnsonĀ followed in their footsteps and dropped his own diss track as he had the perfect content ā his breakup with Dixie Dāamelio.
In Johnsonās new song āConvenient,ā he shares why his seemingly flawless relationship came to a bitter end.
Dixieās and Griffinās Relationship Timeline
Since February, fans speculated that Dixie Dāamelio and Griffin Johnson were dating after a series of flirty TikToks. Their chemistry was undeniable.

However, they did not officially announce their relationship status until June when their friend and Hype House founder, Thomas Petrou, accidently let his tongue slip to the paparazzi. Because the internet freaked out that Petrou confirmed their relationship, Dāamelio and Johnson decided that a cute way for them to officially announce their status was through lip syncing to the paparazzi video.
@imgriffinjohnson @petroutv said it first
Although their relationship seemed bulletproof, all it took was one bullet for their love story to die.
On TikTok, a user posted a compilation of screenshots of Johnson flirtatiously Snapchatting her. In the screenshots, Johnson asks the girl to send pictures of her toes and that he is single ā although at the time he was still dating Dixie. The last screenshot is Dāamelio direct messaging her to figure out what is going on.

Shortly after Johnson was exposed, Dāamelio broke up with him. However, the Dāamelio team already filmed and edited her YouTube video of her last date with Johnson, so she decided to post the video with a clip at the beginning announcing their breakup.

Dixie’s and Noah’s Relationship Timeline
When Noah Beck joined the Sway House and moved to Los Angeles, he often hung out with Dixie Dāamelio and Curtis Newbill and called their trio āthe nuggies.ā
@dixiedamelio the forced me to film this š @curtisnewbill @noahbeck
@curtisnewbill This video if a perfect representation of the 3 of us always fighting for center of attention @dixiedamelio @noahbeck
Even though Dāamelio was still dating Johnson at the time, people began to ship Dāamelio and Beck together as they seemed very compatible. So when Johnson and Dāamelio broke up, people speculated that their wishes may come true.
From the beach to restaurants, Dāamelio and Beck were repeatedly seen getting cozy with each other leading people to believe that they were dating.
@mgailey15 Guess @dixiedamelio has a new bf so
It should be noted that before Beck became close with Dāamelio, he was good friends with Johnson as they lived together at the Sway House.

Because of their friendship, people criticized Beck for violating bro code as he started to date Johnson’s ex.
After all the speculations and rumors, Beck and Dāamelio took their relationship to the next level when they shared a kiss in Dāamelioās new music video for the āBe Happyā remix featuring blackbear and Lil Mosey.Ā
When Dāamelio posted a teaser of their kiss last week, Beck duetted her TikTok and called her his ābestie.ā
@noahbeck #duet with @dixiedamelio i- oop… anywaysss go watch the bts of dixies new music video š
But fans were not buying into the just “besties” thing.
During her music video premiere’s live stream, Dāamelio commented on how their kiss was āuncomfortableā but Beck interrupts and says he was comfortable ā publicly exposing his feelings towards her.
Breaking Down Griffinās Song
On the same day that Dāamelio released her music video, Johnson dropped his diss track.Ā
Leading up to the songās release Johnson gave some hints on Twitter.

time to spice things up

In his song āConvenient,ā Johnson describes his perspective on their breakup with the lyrics, āshe said I cheated and you believed it ain’t that convenient,ā ā referring to the TikTok accusing him of cheating.
Then in the verse, he says āyou donāt think I No-Ah,ā and sings, āwhy you rollin with a gitā ā insulting his ‘friend’ Noah Beck for being with Dixie. Johnson throws more shade at Beck’s and D’amelio’s relationship with the lyric, āyou said you’re just friends, but you’re wearing his clothes.ā
Originally, when their breakup was made public, Johnson received a lot of hate. He refers to this in his song when he says, āyou hung up all the dirty laundry out for everyone to see, ā¦ but they donāt know the historyā ā leading people to wonder if they really know the full story.
A couple hours after he dropped the song Johnson tweeted that, ācheaters cheat and lovers love, and Iām a loverā ā knocking down the cheating allegations against him.
Cheaters cheat, lovers love. Iām a lover.
— Griffin Johnson (@lmgriffjohnson) September 21, 2020
Also, he tweeted stating that he has forgiven Dixie and Noah and wants to move on.
In a world full of deception, be the person that forgives. Iām setting the record straight, but Iāve forgiven. Lifeās too short to hold a grudge.

The song may be catchy, but Dāamelio fans are not here for Johnson throwing their idol under the bus.
it's so funny bc griffin constantly complains about his comments still being about dixie & how people need to move on, & then he releases a whole entire song about her BYE

Because we are isolated from the latest school and work gossip, it is easy to get hooked on all the TikTok drama, and although it may seem we know these teenagers, we don’t. The only people who know the true story are those physically involved ā Griffin, Dixie, and Noah.
Whose side are you on? Do you ship Dixie with Griffin or Noah? Was it wrong for Griffin to post his diss track on the same day as Dixie’s music video?
