Consequence recently addressed the rift between J. Cole and Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music camp. Moreover, he specifically reference Cole's disses towards the Yeezy mogul on his 2016 loosie, "False Prophets." Furthermore, on an episode of The Art of Dialogue podcast, Con said he gave Cole a cameo on his 2007 music video for "Callin' Me." Also, he expressed that the North Carolina spitter took no issue with Kanye when his career started to take off.
“Whatever prompted J. Cole to write [“False Prophets”] … and it touched him spirit wise in that way…" he remarked. "When he was trying to get on, it wasn’t no “False Prophets” then, It was how do I get to the profit margin? I could’ve signed J. Cole but we was transitioning from out of Sony. J. Cole used to go to St. John’s. Myself, B. Dot from Rap Radar, we all went to the same barber shop. They played me [his music] and I met him, he was cool. I just wasn’t in the frame of mind to do it.”
Ye & Cole's Amends
Furthermore, the "No Role Modelz" MC took aim at Ye's ego, erratic behavior, and "half-assed" musical output as of late on his track. However, Consequence clarified that, since then, things have smoothed out. Moreover, he recalled speaking to Dreamville co-founder Ibrahim "Ib" Hamad. “I actually spoke to Ibrahim when there was the situation with J. Cole and Ye,” he explained. “And we pretty much put that to bed. Me and Ibrahim had a man-to-man talk about pretty much what I’m discussing. Drake and J. Cole always come at it like, ‘Y’all OGs.’ And in fairness to them, we gotta behave like that.”
Meanwhile, the Queens native recently defended the controversial Chicago rapper on multiple occasions. For example, he recently scolded Pusha T for not standing by his G.O.O.D. Music partner amid his recent controversies. “Pusha T told you all the street shit and now we doing this industry shit?" he asked. "Nah. Now, in fairness, does Pusha T have a right to distance himself from situations he don’t want to be in? Yeah. He a man. Do those two have grievances behind the scenes that are not being spoke about? Yes, they do. So part of this shit is kinda cap.” Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on these artists and whether their trajectories cross again.
