Griggs was inducted into the Sway House by Josh Richards, an internet celebrity and a founding member of the house.

The speculations began when Griggs came to TikTok, stating that there was no real sway in 2020. "Sway just isn't a thing anymore. Like, we're all boys, we all love each other, we're all brothers, but like there's no real Sway," he said.
The story was further debunked by one of the split Sway members, Griffin Johnson, who told People magazine that the Sway House no longer exists. Additionally, Josh Richards also discussed the subject with Dave Portnoy on his podcast BFFs in February 2021. He even retaliated against the negative rumors about the house's dissolution by underlining the members' professional and personal relationships. Furthermore, he also explained that the group disbanded because of the members' aspiration for professional growth and to explore the niche of their interest.

As part of the house, each residential member has access to gameplay consoles and workstations and will have to cooperate, strategize, and hang out together.
