JID seemingly had some words for BET and J. Cole is a pair of since-deleted tweets.
JID might be in a tier of highly underrated MCs whose talents canโt be talked about enough yet arenโt recognized on broader platforms. Most recently, the BET Awards unveiled their nominations with JID nowhere in sight, and apparently, he wasnโt too happy about it. In a string of since-deleted tweets, he made it clear that his disdain for BET runs deep.
โI hate @BET ..,โ he wrote in one tweet. โ5 Grammy nominations[.] 0 BET nominations/acknowledgment nothing.. n***az remix the same people every years at the BET awards.โ
In 2025, JID expressed how earning a BET nomination was something on his bucket list in an interview with XXL.
Frankly, JID is certainly not the only rapper to feel this way. Freddie Gibbs previously expressed his issues with BET on โVice Lord Poetry.โ
Unfortunately, JIDโs grievances extended well beyond just the institution that is BET. J. Cole, the co-founder of Dreamville, the label JID is signed to, shouted out JID on Birthday Blizzard โ26. In โ99 Build Freestyle,โ Cole gave J.I.D a solid shout out when he rapped, โIf hip-hop is back, JID should chart platinum/ Anything less than that, it means yโall cappinโ.โ
Most people would recognize that shout-out as a compliment, but according to a since-deleted tweet captured by @kurrco, that wasnโt how JID felt. When one user noted how โJ Cole said it best,โ JID quoted the tweet, replying, โN***as ainโt say shit. I been overly platinum that bar was ass.โ
Itโs been a rough week for J. Cole. Before JID, it was Drake who reflected on their fall-out in the midst of the Kendrick Lamar beef. On ICEMAN, he noticeably took some subtle shots regarding Coleโs decision to wave the white flag, while Drizzy also declared that itโs โf*ck the Big 3.โ Will we get a response from J. Cole? Hopefully not. Check out JIDโs comments above. Do you think thereโs tension in the Dreamville camp? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
