I feel for Noname here. She was blindsided by an unprovoked act of public humiliation and tone policing from a male artist far more famous and commercially successful than her. She deserves better than how all of this went down.
For days, Cole stans have been saying it& #39;s not beef. So then what was it? Bullying? Because someone in a position of power took a potshot at a young activist/artist who responded in kind and then *she* ended up being made to feel guilty for doing so while he coasts. What the fuck
A 35 year old star came for Noname unprompted. She then rapped surgical summer bars over a sick Madlib beat, and it wasn& #39;t respected as beef and she was made to feel like the bad guy for it. So what& #39;s the lesson here? What& #39;s the takeaway? Because I don& #39;t see it.
At the end of the day, this guy got offended by a tweet by a young woman that didn& #39;t name him and wasn& #39;t about him, enough so that he recorded and released a whole song to respond to her, and then he doubled-down while gaslighting her repeatedly until *she* apologized.

This guy
I& #39;m sorry, you don& #39;t get to be the guy who raps about a woman needing a dick in her mouth--(his words!)--and be the guy who dismisses a woman& #39;s "queen tone" and then play like you have anything resembling the moral fucking high ground.
Noname& #39;s made to feel that bringing up the fact that BLACK TRANS LIVES MATTER on her track was a "distraction" while Cole gets to continue to make money off of shit like this in his catalog? C& #39;mon fuck that shit.
And if you& #39;re a Cole fan and this thread STILL made no sense to you, this is why I made this meme for you https://twitter.com/noyokono/status/1273948443812212737">https://twitter.com/noyokono/...
