I appreciate the opportunity, thank you all. 💛💡 (also, juice wasn’t mentioned because they didn’t ask any questions about him. I would’ve loved to speak about some memories, but I’ll save those stories for another time)
-
Cole Bennet is the most creative young director in the game every music video looks like a movie
-
His story is so interesting, proud of bro he really on the top
-
The way Cole talks about his dad is the most mature thing I ever heard in my life, Cole really deserves to win it all

This man’s a real life inspiration💯

I’ve always been a fan but didn’t know Coles story. This young man knows pain , loss , & struggle and that’s what makes him relatable to people that came from “ the bottom” , he came from the bottom as well. He doesn’t have to try to be someone that he isn’t to fit in & get love, he just IS. It’s genuine, it’s pure, he’s never tried to hard. This interview opened my eyes because of my ignorance I saw Cole as a good looking white kid living his dream & just assumed he came from money. Boy was I wrong.. This taught me a lesson, Never judge a book by its cover or assume about someone because of how they appear. Cole , you are a Legend, a Genius, & in inspiration to us that know what it’s like to go without & take losses the average person couldn’t handle. You have become the Hype Williams or “ X “ of this generation. A true visionary.. Never stop! I wish you all the success & blessings humanly possible. S/O to your mom also, she’s an Incredible woman and was a Great example for you growing up to become the man you are today! 💯🙌🏼❤️💕

Dude mentioned every person that did something for him on the way up. Gotta root for him

My mother passed away when I was 8 and it really touched me how Cole spoke of his mom. You could hear how proud he was of her and I love that. Shout-out to you Cole, very happy for you and all your success.
