Consequence has called out G.O.O.D. Music artists — past and present — for not publicly supporting Kanye West amid the costly backlash to his recent anti-Semitic comments.
The Queens, New York rapper — who was one of the first artists signed by Ye and spent almost a decade on the label — posted a video on social media on Friday (October 28) questioning his fellow G.O.O.D. Music alumni for not coming to Kanye’s aid.
“Where everybody else at?!” he asked in the clip. “I’m putting out an APB on G.O.O.D. Music. Everybody who got a check with Ye, where you at? You ain’t got nothin’ to do with this?! Why ain’t nobody else got nothin’ to do with this? Why I’m the only one in the headlines? I’m always the only one in the headlines! You know why? ‘Cause I’m the one, n-gga.”
In his tweet, Cons added: “I’m Addressing ALL DRAMA[.] Where is G.O.O.D. Music At??? … YE is surrounded and y’all just watching[.] N-ggas looking like Track Stars[.] I said what I said… Queens Get The Money.”
Although he didn’t name any names, Consequence’s appeal could’ve been directed at any number of artists. G.O.O.D. Music’s roster currently includes Pusha T (who also serves as the label’s president), 070 Shake, Valee and Sheck Wes, while former signees include Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Common, Teyana Taylor, Desiigner and others.
Consequence certainly appears to be in the minority in his support for Kanye, whose inflammatory remarks about Jewish people and embrace of white supremacy has led to him losing a growing number of lucrative business deals and professional relationships — including G.O.O.D. Music being dropped from Def Jam.
Former G.O.O.D. Music representative Q-Tip seemingly denounced Kanye’s anti-Semitism by voicing his support for the Jewish community on Instagram earlier this week, while Yasiin Bey (f.k.a. Mos Def) put a pro-Black spin on Ye’s “White Lives Matter” shirt following his controversial Yeezy Season 9 show in Paris.
John Legend, meanwhile, made his feelings toward his former label boss clear earlier in October when he tweeted: “Weird how all these ‘free, independent thinkers’ always land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism.”
Consequence previously pledged his allegiance to Kanye West in a series of tweets earlier this week, in which the “Gone” rapper denounced Ye’s “White Lives Matter” shirt while at the same time vowing to stand by his old friend.
“For clarity Ye & I have had discussions about the events over the last few weeks,” he wrote. Have I agreed with everything[?] No[.] Did I offer critique and solution[?] Yes[.] Was our conversation private[?] Yes[.] What needs to be understood is that I got the call 20 years ago when this happened…”
He continued: “The Candice Owens Experiment Needs To End… Nothing Personal[.] Accountability Is Everything In Life[.] This Shirt Was/Is A Bad Idea[.] Wisdom Is Learning From Your Mistakes[.] And Then Moving On.”
“I’ve stood with YE for 20 years and have always had his back,” he added. “He trust me more than ANYBODY[.] Part of that is seeing things for what they are[.] Whether G.O.O.D. or Bad [.] Then from there making sure WE are moving in the right direction. I said what I said…”
Consequence’s support of Kanye led to a tense exchange with Talib Kweli, who questioned why his “Chain Heavy” collaborator had “failed to call out [Ye’s] anti black nazi ass rhetoric?”
Ain’t Consequence your damn name bro?
You set yourself on fire and I gotta defend it?
Amazing how these clowns are basically co-signing antisemitism to defend this dude. Not a good look. Ya man is facing the backlash of saying some really foul shit. It’s not a persecution.
Yea ignore the Antiblackness they also are cosigning cause forget Black folks right? Lol smh
Not ignoring shit, he should’ve been called out a long time ago with that slavery bullshit. But everyone that’s defending him now didn’t have shit to say about that.
if you actually cared youd know that harriet tubman and nat turner showed you slavery was a choice. also politicians and many people in izrael say that the anti sem term is a political tool to shut down any criticism of destructive groups. yall are literally media puppets that dont know how to learn or gain knowledge of actual truths. if you really care about people you will do your research.
what slavery bs? hariett tubman and nat turner showed you slavery was a choice. sad that yall dont even know about the most famous slaves and how they chose to be free.
Nailed it! 🙌✌️
Man stfu with that BS! Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass escaped slavery because they got tired of being property, so u basically saying when a child is born into slavery it’s their choice on whether or not they want to be free? You know how ignorant you sound dumbass!
Kanye did this to himself. Let a dummy be a dummy by his damn self. Consequence is essentially saying he is in agreement with Kanye’s dangerous rhetoric. If that is the case then shame on you.
what dangerous rhetoric? he said the same things as literal political parties in izrael who say the anti sem term is nothing but a tool to shut down criticism of destructive groups.
If it is family it is family 4 life. Cons 100 % right on this one. All them fake friends stay silent. Cons war ready. I like that. Oh and I am with Ye.
Kanye said …..the cop didn’t even have his knee on George Floyd’s neck like that……he was wrong about that…….just like he is wrong about the Jewish knee on his neck…….. If he looks at the tape of his life for the last month real,real,close…….. He will discover that it is his own knee on his neck….. I am not with Ye……..
What a sniveling suck up, you’ll always remain irrelevant..he’ll most relevancy you might have even gotten is this.

Why is he asking about the label when Ye just called them out..he even said big Sean was the worst decision to sign
Consequence “from” ATCQ? LMFAO
ye is nuts. there’s nothing to defend. no one is making up stories about dude as the obsessions have clearly been there since at least black skinhead. ye was the one who made a big show of hugging on known nazi rock weirdo marilyn manson then the over-the-top support of trump which was embarrassing for any grown man to witness. ye just going to bring everyone down with him if they hang on any longer
Consequence must live in a box, Kanye has pissed off all of his artist…beef with Cudi, beef with Sean, beef with Legend, beef with Teyana, beef with CyHi………..why tf would they speak up…..the best thing for them to do is stay silent imo.
Easy for consequence who literally has nothing to lose in comparison to these bigger names under GOOD music. Also Kanye has dissed half of them and is aware of what hes saying. He should finally be held accountable for his actions.
