Diggy Simmons Disses J. Cole, Explains Origin Of Beef

This diss came out of nowhere. At the end of last weekend, Diggy Simmons released a track titled “What You Say to Me” aimed at Roc Nation’s J. Cole. On the cut, he hinted that the origin of their issues were rooted in apparent lies Cole made about smashing his sister, Vanessa. “Heard you lying on my sis, tellin people that you hit / When your album drops I’ma hit you with your bricks,” he rapped. The teen rapper later explained that he was merely protecting Vanessa, who was supposedly mentioned on the Cole track “Purple Rain.” “It was just me sticking up for my family, that’s all that it really was,” said Diggy.
