TDE President Terrence "Punch" Henderson also chimed in.

"SMH. I thought to pimp a butterfly was pretty good," he posted in a series of tweets, in reference to Cole dissing the album on his new song. "The current rap climate got me realizing a lot of you music industry ppl are Kdot haters. lol you telling me you n***as been secretly hating ALL this time!"

Another Top Dawg president, Anthony "Moosa" Tiffith Jr., is not impressed.

"Naw that ain't it," he tweeted, attributing the quote to Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club cohost Charlemagne Tha God.
