John John Da Don addresses the snitching allegations surrounding Bad Newz—and says the same people claiming they hate him still watch everything he does.
Speaking with Knowledge Tha God of HipHopIsReal, John John explains why he believes Bad Newz can recover from the controversy whenever he decides to ignore the backlash and return to battle rap.
John John points to Bad Newz’s viral freestyle directed at Jackboy Maine as proof that the culture is still paying attention. He questions why fans continue watching Bad Newz in abundance while publicly claiming they no longer support him.
He also argues that the energy displayed online does not match what happens when Bad Newz attends events in person. According to John John, nobody confronted Bad Newz when he walked through the crowd—and fans continued showing him love throughout the event.
Is John John right that the backlash is mostly internet talk? Will fans immediately watch Bad Newz when his next battle drops—or have the allegations permanently changed his position in the culture?
John John also previews his upcoming August 16 event in New York and directs fans to Behind The Pen for tickets, merchandise, the Roll the Pendulum series and access to the Bullpen Battle League archive.
