Going by the songs each of them dropped this past week, one might assume that the relationship between J. Cole and Wale was going through a rough patch. Apparently the two are able to keep their professional and personal lives separate though, seeing as how they were seen laughing it up at the NC State vs. Boston University basketball game in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday (December 3).
Wale posted a 10-second clip of the two of them sitting together along with the tag “See you at the game, Bro” which is a reference to a line from the “Groundhog Day” track that he’d released hours before in response to Wale’s verse on “False Prophets.”
Another Twitter user got her paparazzi on with a shot of the two rappers at the game.
Wale also made what could be an indication that the issues between the two are purely for show, tweeting “#keepkayfabeAlive” on December 1, a day before J. Cole released his new songs. Kayfabe is a professional wrestling term that references the “scripted” nature of the sports entertainment platform, and the divide between the characters who fight in the ring each week and the people who play them.
Several other Twitter users referenced Kayfabe in relation to the relationship between the two rappers.
Probably the worst fake beef in history. Day 1 Cole Disstrack, Day 2 Wale respond, Day 3 making out at the Basketball Game. Whack af. freakin Attention Wh*res.
How is it fake beef when you didn’t hear Coles input on the song, and social media and websites (hhdx, I’m calling y’all out too) interpreted it the way they liked. You’re a part of the problem. You were hoping for some hip hop wives type drama in hip hop, but were proven wrong otherwise. Smarten up.
Even if Cole was talking about Wale in the 2nd verse, he wasn’t dissing him. He was telling him to not let critics get to him and make music for the love of it. Count your blessings.
ughh…for the millionth time COLE’S TRACK WASN’T A DISS!! He was speaking from the heart. It was brutally honest, but he wasn’t firing shots. He sees Wale as a friend. Wale is probably smart enough to get that…the internet just gasses stuff like this up
Think you’re missing the point.
Wasnt it charlamane that said cole was taking shots at wale too, Stupid idiot
No they don’t listen to the music, they just read headlines and internet comments and let them do the listening and thinking for them, then they get on the internet and repeat what everybody else is saying…but no most of the people do not listen to the music before they form an opinion and start ranting!!!!
But your just copying what has been said on them tweets lol.
There is nothing that is said “on them tweets” lol…that I said…nothing, you a troll!!! Where in “them tweets” did they say show don q and highbridge some love, where in “them tweets” did it say all the internet trolls got trolled??? Where in them tweets did it say you clown a hit dog will holler??? Where???
So glad J cole and Wale trolled the trolls, but the people on the internet so “OUTTA HERE” that they will pretend this didn’t happen!!! Even Charlamagne…all of yall got trolled all of you!!!!! Now why don’t HIPHOPDX show DON Q and HIGHBRIDGE some LOVE???
