J. Cole’s manager says the hate isn’t organic.
In this video, we break down Ib reacting to Akademiks speaking about paid marketing campaigns being used to push narratives about artists. Ib says he’s personally seen paid hate campaigns targeting J. Cole, especially around album releases.
We talk about how rage bait works, how marketing teams encourage controversy to drive engagement, and how narratives can be manufactured on social media.
We also touch on Drake fans reacting to Cole linking with TDE and trying to push the “double agent” narrative.
Then we react to the latest Fall Off trunk tour episode where Cole explains why he chose to tour the country in a Honda Civic.
