Mal is full of shit and disingenuous. He been throwing back handed compliments at Cole for months cause he know Drake ain’t feeling Cole right now so he doing his usual mouthpiece for Drake shit. He just put his foot in his mouth this time. Anyone that he knows Drake has a issue with he going to make lil slick comments and remarks about them. Dude sees everyone through Drakes lens and can’t conjure up an original unbiased perspective.

Today I learned that the reason J. Cole got emotional the other night performing ‘Love Yourz’ in the now viral clip was because of a kid named Collin Griffin, who he met in 2017 when Collin was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Collin’s Make-A-Wish was to meet Cole, and when he passed away the next year, Cole was even mentioned in his obituary. Collin met Cole backstage at a show in DC, and Dreamville took care of him with merch and the like. Cole even took the shoes off his feet and signed them for Collin, asking him to work hard to beat cancer. Collin told Cole that his music has been inspirational for him and helped him get through this difficult time, to which Cole responded "No, you inspire me." Collin broke down in tears. Fast forward to Cole’s Cleveland show over the weekend, Collin’s family attended and held up pictures of him, which Cole called out right before performing ‘Love Yourz.’ Collin loved to draw, had a great passion for music, and he lived each day to the fullest. RIP 💙🕊️ “We love Collin, man” -Cole

IB Speaks on an emotional moment that took place with J. Cole: “J. Cole saw the family in the audience [whose son passed due to cancer]. Right before Cole started playing ‘Love Yourz,’ he noticed the Collin Strong sign and it hit him.” Cole visited the family almost 9 years ago and he is still showing love to him and the family. Truly one of one.

🚨 Mal says J. Cole crying while performing “Love Yourz” feels PERFORMATIVE and suggests it’s helping Cole win fans back after the Kendrick/Drake battle controversy Mal argues Cole knows those emotional moments go viral and repeatedly claims he’s been getting teary-eyed during the song on tour. “You gain the hearts of the people back.” When pressed on whether he thinks the tears are actually genuine, Mal jokes: “I think these AI tears.” The rest of the room PUSHES BACK, arguing Love Yourz is genuinely emotional and questioning why Cole would need to manufacture tears during an already sold-out tour.
