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”

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

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”

On Friday, May 17, CNN obtained footage showing Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend and Bad Boy artist, Cassie, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.

The surveillance footage, dating back to 2016, shows Diddy chasing Ventura, who was seen standing at a set of elevators, and proceed to grab and shove her to the ground. He then kicks her, and takes what appears to be her purse and suitcase from the floor. Diddy then drags her by her sweater towards a room. Ventura is later seen slowly getting up and collecting items from the floor.

Diddy returns moments later, sits on a chair, grabs an object off a table, and throws it at Ventura. He is then seen walking away, but turns back toward Ventura when an elevator door opens and someone exits.

Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, told CNN: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

In November, Cassie, born Cassandra Ventura, initiated legal proceedings against Diddy, born Sean Combs, alleging years of control, rape, and prolonged physical abuse spanning over a decade. The two parties reached a settlement 24 hours later.

“Say you hate the girls I fuck but what you really mean / I been with Black and white and everything in between / You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen / And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem.”

Drake also implies that Kendrick’s kids aren’t his, but are actually Dave Free’s, Kendrick Lamar’s longtime creative partner.

“Why you never hold your son and tell him say cheese / We could have left the kids out of this don’t blame me,” he raps.

“Our sons should go play at the park / Two light-skinned kids, that shit would be cute / Unless you don’t want to be seen with anyone that’s Blacker than you”

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.
