Joey Bada$$ shared his thoughts on Bill Cosby this morning on Twitter, and for good reason, he's being dragged through the mud. He started off his series of tweets by saying he doesn't approve of any Bill Cosby slander these days, and that any allegations against him are propaganda and a distraction from the media. He referred to allegations and charges surrounding Cosby as a "Half ass story," as well.

Earlier this month, documents surfaced in which Cosby admitted to using quaaludes to drug women and sleep with them. In additional excerpts from the 2005 deposition uncovered this weekend, Cosby's "calculated pursuit of young women" was laid out in detail, to make the case even more sickening. Many of Cosby's defenders—Whoopi Goldberg, included—have now acknowledged his guilt, especially in light of these published depositions.

All of Joey's tweets can be found below.

Joey also decided to share his extended thoughts on the situation via his Snapchat, which a user from Reddit then transcribed. Read it in full below.
