Last night (June 16), J. Cole surprised fans with a new record titled, “Snow On Tha Bluff.

While many thought it was just another conscious record following the death of George Floyd and him recently being spotted at a Black Lives Matter protest in Fayetteville, things changed once J. Cole started addressing the tweets of a woman from social media, 48 seconds in.

“It’s something about the queen tone that’s botherin’ me,” said Cole on the record before coming at her.

Fans quickly identified that the woman Cole was addressing was Chicago rapper, Noname, after she tweeted and deleted the following post below:

After receiving much criticism over the record on Twitter, J. Cole replied with the following series of tweets Wednesday morning:

J. Cole on Twitter: “Morning. I stand behind every word of the song that dropped last night. / Twitter”

Morning. I stand behind every word of the song that dropped last night.

J. Cole on Twitter: “I haven’t done a lot of reading and I don’t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. But I do a lot of thinking. And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that’s important. / Twitter”

I haven’t done a lot of reading and I don’t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. But I do a lot of thinking. And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that’s important.

J. Cole on Twitter: “We may not agree with each other but we gotta be gentle with each other. ✌🏿 / Twitter”

We may not agree with each other but we gotta be gentle with each other. ✌🏿

Based on what I’ve gathered, Cole is saying that he never said he was conscientious; we gave him that title. He doesn’t read much, he just thinks a lot and wants Noname to school him on topics he may seem ignorant in. However, that’s not her job.

The record found many women on social media labeling J. Cole a misogynist.

justice on Twitter: “”it’s something about the queen tone that’s bothering me” like………… classic misogyny. he isn’t woke he’s just lightskin & hotep adjacent. / Twitter”

Dimplez 🇳🇬 on Twitter: “I didn’t mention a name here. However, releasing that record was appropriate today? Singular personal or generalization, that made sense today? He ran this by the women of his team and they okay’d that? My questions remain unanswered. https://t.co/4cghSuDdbt / Twitter”

Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyer, Alex Spiro, addressed the lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Saweetie took to social media Tuesday morning that her ex-boyfriend Quavo reached out to her via direct messages, following his mention of her in his latest diss track aimed at Chris Brown, titled “Over Hoes & B-tches.”

In the song, Quavo raps, “I can take a model chick and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” which Saweetie didn’t take lightly. She shared a screenshot from January 2024, showing Quavo’s message on Instagram, which she hadn’t opened. The preview read, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie’s caption for the screenshot humorously suggested she hopes the model Quavo compares to her.



This exchange coincided with Saweetie attending a USC game with Chris Brown.



The history between Saweetie and Quavo dates back to their relationship from 2018 to 2021, which ended amid allegations of infidelity on Quavo’s part. Chris Brown didn’t hesitate to leverage their past relationship in his own diss track, “Weakest Link,” claiming to have been involved with Saweetie while she was still with Quavo.

“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” he rapped.

Quavo previously dated Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who filed for a restraining order against Brown after their breakup in 2017.
