He wasnt saying he would've won the battle. He's saying regardless if he won or lost. shyt would've prolly been said and done that would've changed their relationship forever. And it's facts. If he really cares about the friendship. U can't name me one battle that nikkas was friends during or before the battle. Just name me one bro. People not comprehending that Cole situation was very unique from any other mainstream battle we've seen. I just wish the nikka didn't apologize for hitting back. And I wish the nikka understood that Kendrick ain't as good a friend as he thinks he is.
It just seems wild convenient that he chose to word it the way he did. He gets paid a lot to put words together, and he easily could've said "win or lose, I would've lost a bro" and yet he didn't say that. He super specifically said "I wouldn't have lost the battle..."
Sure, maybe he meant it exactly like you say. "Win or lose, I'd have lost a bro." Fine. Assume he meant it that way...But
Cole knows damn well that wording it the way he actually said it (
I wouldn't have lost the battle) would have people talking about it, and debating it, which is exactly the type of passive aggressive shyt that seems like is his personality.
By doing this, he gets fans to say that he wouldn't have lost the battle, but he himself doesn't have to deal with the consequences of actually saying that. Again, throwing rocks and hiding hands.
Cole had to have known it would be taken how some people are taking it. He's not stupid.
It's just corny. Why say anything at all? He apologized after he dropped his diss and backed out. No one wants to hear how dangerous and shyt he is in a battle when he backed out and dropped a mid diss record before taking it down. I just feel like Cole's not in a position to speak on how he would've performed battle after dropping out and taking back his contribution to it.
