Damn I see both sides of this argument

How come no one asked him about Grippy at all?

People crying itt like cole is reading it. What a waste of your life

he dissed that nigga shoes on middle child bro

I am saying using the Diddy fight joke in album rollout would be cringe to me for same reason. Not cause of dogpiling just for using a controversial character for rollout. About a serious topic that he has no intention of speaking on

Welcome

I'm known for the fence

I just never liked Cole's "sitting on the fence" position on 99% of everything since Fire Squad.

Like bro's version of staying neutral is so off base and it's historically been that way

I used to be a light Cole defender but ever since the beef he’s been pissing me off

Na I agree, I do feel like the best reaction is to say nothing at all because if you aren’t s***ting on diddy and saying s*** that usher,Floyd,Cole said you’re indirectly siding with the nigga. It’s not hard to just say next question and move on hov is one of diddy closet industry friends and that nigga name didn’t even come up in hov’s interview lol

that woman directly called him out though, no? i dont remember how that noname situation all unfolded really

Kanye and Cole had issues prior to false prophets lol

It's just incongruent with his ability, seems like a limiter is placed somewhere his perspective gets atrophied

She called both Kendrick and Cole out for not tweeting about the protests but even she started walking back the stance she took then

But ye never said his name or dissed him in a rap.

you handle behind the scenes s*** behind the scenes.

@NoFace for example yes, noname indirectly (he never said cole name either but everyone thought it) but yea, directly calling him out, sure cole can respond.

ye never directly said a word about cole but no one is giving ye that same grace cause #RedHatNiggaFuckHim

They want Cole to say “ Diddy deserves the death sentence let’s pull him out of prison and beat him like a piñata “

Nigga you know Cole thinks what he did was wrong he is saying he doesn’t want to profit from it

Move on this a non issue m

Same beef brained morons

Y'all new rap fans gotta stand for something. Can't just be "oh artist X(Kanye/diddy/kelly) did something horrible in his personal life--cancel him!"

Atp y'all gotta be proactive. Stand on business. Rappers shouldn't be rapping about killing people, selling d****, slappin hoes, fkn other mens b**** etc...right? Stop listening, boycott etc... If not, looks incredibly hypocritical to throw dirt on a few and then turn around and press play on some Playboi Carti or w.e

you can really tell his black and white side be infighting when these kind of topics comes up (the grammies, ye, politics, etc.)

i honestly feel like some do but a large part dont lol i just was speaking to a shawty the other day and she legit said that Kendrick would never support or keep an abuser around him

(now for context, she was speaking thru the lens of the beef so i gave her the benefit of the doubt)

I don't think people wanted him to say all that. But saying "I don't want to give the people more ammo on him" reads like him showing sympathy to Diddy and that's just stupid to do for multiple reasons.

I think he moreso in a rush to stop code switching and go back to bring ignorant. Which is his right, he didn't have to be Malcolm.

Cole most likely genuinely dgaf

Cole didnt say ye name either on false prophet

Behind the scenes s*** results in people subbing and dissing each other all the time tho

ye never directly said a word about cole but no one is giving ye that same grace cause

Not in 2026 but 2016 yes a lot of people gave ye grace after false prophet

I get he probably didnt want his name attached to diddy headlines but Cole should of just told the story since we pretty much know most of it or just not talked about it at all.

I still think this the least wrong thing he's said. Honestly any reaction would be overreaction imo
