J. Cole recently chopped it up with Kevin Hart on the comedian's Hart To Heart show and talked about staying off social media.
Cole believes it's the only way he can achieve proper mental health.
“I had set rules for myself,” said Cole. “One was like, ‘Bro, you can’t go on social media no more’… Nobody’s there to be like, don’t Google yourself. Don’t search your name ... I had set some rules for myself, some baseline rules like, ‘Yo, don’t go on Twitter. Don’t read your replies.’ That’s rule number one. Number two, when you’re creating, you got to create from a pure place only. That was a rule I set for myself. Everything has to only be truly what you feel in your heart.”
Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar spoke about staying off social media and said he does it because of his ego.
