Other Activities:

Through the foundation, Cole purchased his childhood home, which had been snatched from his mother years earlier, for $120,000 in 2014. He bought the house with the aim of making it rent-free accommodation for single mothers and their children. It hosts the Dreamville Festival concert series each year, featuring local music, artists, culture and food, but also big names like Nelly, Big Sean and 21 Savage. Proceeds benefit the Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy in Raleigh, NC
Controversy:
Cole and Diddy got into an altercation at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in NYC. It started with Diddy confronting Kendrick Lamar about a verse in one of his songs and Diddy trying to throw a drink at Lamar. Cole intervened and the two got into an argument involving their respective crews that ended in a minor brawl. A few months later, Cole and Diddy publicly announced that their argument was over.
Cole’s songs Everybody Dies and False Prophets have sparked controversy in the hip-hop community, and fellow rappers have assumed that Cole is attacking rappers Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty. The hip-hop community has also assumed that the first verse of his song False Prophets poked fun at Kanye West. Rumors of an ongoing feud with rapper Lil Pump had been circulating since April 2018, but the two sat down for a joint interview in May 2019 to end the rumors and show fans they’ve put their differences behind them.
