Clipse Give Justin Bieber 'Benefit of the Doubt' After Perceived Shade

Clipse aren't worried about Justin Bieber shading their comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out.

After the rap duo released their first LP in sixteen years, Bieber reposted comedian Kerwin Frost on Instagram, who praised the singer's new album, Swag, and criticized Clipse and their fans.

"This is the only album that matters right now," Frost wrote. “"his album is way better than the Clipse. Clipse is for bitter grown men who collect Kaws dolls and shop at Kith and Union."

Bieber added, "Justice is served."

Clipse addressed the matter while visiting Big Boy's Neighborhood on Friday (July 18), as seen around the 1:04:00 mark below.

Clipse member No Malice said he "didn't think nothing" of the post and added that he's given Bieber "the benefit of the doubt."

"I don't know if you clicking something, don't know if you reading it or not," he said. "I mean, people can be very specific if they want to be, but what does it mean to me? Nothing. We doing what we doing out here. The fans love it, you
bringing the music back. Real hip-hop."

No Malice continued that his sole focus has been fans who appreciate the "energy" that Clipse have returned to hip-hop and that he doesn't care "what nobody do."

Pusha T also shared his amazement of Clipse being named among "names in pop music." "This is street hip-hop," he continued. "Look how far street
hip-hop has [come]. Like look at what it's being measured up against."

Pusha then theorized that Bieber didn't see Frost's post and thought it was simply something "favorable."

"We've all done it," he added.
