Infinite Coles, the gay son of hip-hop star and Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah, has dropped two new tracks addressing his estranged relationship with his father.
Last week, rapper Infinite Coles released “SweetFaceKillah” and “Dad & I”. On the former, he raps about Ghostface Killah “forgetting” he’s a parent, while on the latter, he confirms that he and his famous father “don’t see eye to eye”.
However, responding to a fan on X who suggested that Infinite Coles had “dissed” his father, the rapper rejected the label, writing: “NOT A DISS !!! But thank you so much.”
The performer opens “SweetFaceKillah” with a verse seemingly directed at his father, rapping: “You got problems, I’m the right bitch to solve ’em / How ya body count up but your pockets is starving? / How you in a Mack truck but forget you a father / I be seeing n****s hating but I don’t even bother.”
He continues by appearing to reference the fact that he is gay: “Is it me? Am I not your cup of tea? / Are my pants not low like your self esteem / Do I need to f**k a b***h just so you could see / Wish I could count on you just like my EBT.”
Over the track’s thumping, throwback refrain, a childlike voice taunts: “B***y boy Sweetface killah’ / Nasty on the beat bang bang go gorilla.”
SweetFaceKillah is also the name of the musician’s upcoming debut album, due out in December. Speaking to Vibe recently, he explained that he is reclaiming the term, which was used against him as a homophobic slur.
“At some point people were in my DMs calling me all types of names and ‘SweetFaceKillah’ was one of them… I was depressed at first, but then I was like, wait — they kinda ate that. So now that’s my album name,” he explained.
On the more pointed “Dad & I”, Infinite Coles suggests that his father would tell him to “man up” when he wore makeup.
On verse two, he spits: “You never talk to me, said I’m not living right / You tell me to man up, yea / When I put on makeup, yea / You always asked for change but wouldn’t do your part / Nobody’s perfect, no / Can’t you see that I’m worth it?”
He makes his stance clear on the chorus, belting: “Dad and I don’t see eye to eye (I love you but I think you be carrying)”.
During his conversation with Vibe, the rapper said that he wanted to use the two songs to tell his “side of the story” and share how he feels “about the whole situation”.
“It’s very positive and about nothing but love. I have no hate towards my father at all,” he said.
“I love my father, I just wish we could connect and understand one another and respect each other. I haven’t seen my father in over 10 years. I always wonder if he’s okay. I wonder if we will be able to mend or have a conversation before one of our time is up. I just always wonder. So this song is just me pouring out the last bit fight I have in me for him to reach out.”
Back in 2023, the rapper wrote a lengthy open letter to his father on Instagram, describing the “All That I Got Is You” performer as “the full definition of a deadbeat”.
“For many years, you made me hate myself, until I developed the courage to snap the f**k out of it and realize that there was nothing wrong with me, but there’s everything wrong WITH YOU,” he wrote.
“I can’t even say you’re only a deadbeat to me because I’m gay, because you’re a deadbeat to all of your kids.”
“SweetFaceKillah” and “Dad & I” are streaming now.
