J. Cole Returns To Twitter With Big Co-Sign & NFL Boycott Suggestion

J. Cole is not one for social media, rarely Twitting and hitting IG a couple times a year.

But he's all over Twitter this morning, seemingly trying to figure out the social network service.

How you make a thread

His thread was about the Colin Kaepernick situation. He wants fans to turn off the NFL today and he wants Kaepernick to be compensated.

Got mad shit I shoulda tweeted over the months (or years?) but didn't. I'll do better. Now Ima need a thread 4 this next part. Bare w me

God bless every player that finds courage to kneel today. But the real power comes from you deciding to not watch.

Your eyes translate to advertising money for the League and it's owners.

Same ones who speak out against Trump today, are the same ones that denied a qualified man a job because he took a stand against injustice.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

You and me have the power to deny them our attention ($$ to them) until they make a wrong situation right.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

How do they make it right? I know there are people smarter than me with better answers. But here's one.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Hire 3rd party investigator approved by NFLPA to determine if kap was denied a job unfairly as punishment for his stance. (I know, I know)

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

And compensate the man for his losses if they determine he was.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Bare with me I'm just a rapper.. now look

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Every day they stay quiet on this they're saying that they condone what's happening to Kap and the message it sends.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Well, you have a choice on how you respond to that. You can choose to not watch.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

if a boycott doesn't force them to action, don't even trip. This is where the real flex happens.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Black people spend a lot of money with NFL corporate sponsors. White people who don't fuck with white supremacy spend a lot of money too.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

So, next you turn your attention to these sponsors.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Pick one of the biggest ones and say, "do you agree with black balling players when they speak out against oppression?"

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

"If not, why are you spending all this money with a League that clearly condones that? ... "

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

"You know what, I don't think I can spend my money with you no more until you fix this."

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Repeat this with another company, and another.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

I respect whatever you decide to do. Watch or don't watch, whatever's in your heart. But I'm not watching til it feel right.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

It was hard during preseason and the first week. But then I was like, wait, is it actually hard?

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Some of us got grandparents that walked miles to work instead of riding bus, just to show the bus companies that they won't tolerate racism

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

So when I think about it like that it's very easy on Sunday to say, "Nope, I'm straight."

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

This may be the biggest opportunity we have ever been presented to come together and show the world and ourselves our true economic power.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Thank you Colin for your sacrifice.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

Ima stop it there. Peace and love to all, let's give energy to the solutions not the problem. Even if you don't rock with mine.

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

But Cole wasn't all about politics this morning. He also gave a really nice co-sign to Cardi B, who's expressed some worry that she'll be able to live up to the hype 'Bodak Yellow' has created.

Also Cardi b I seen your breakfast club interview, loved it. Don't put all that pressure on your album. You already won. Just drop & repeat

— J. Cole (@JColeNC) September 24, 2017

What do you think Cole's words on Kaepernick and his Cardi co-sign?
