I’m 21 and stuck in the middle of two friends I introduced, one does music professionally and the other just for a hobby, it was fine at first but turned into this huge ego battle
it started over a dumb misunderstanding where the hobbyist guy used the word "camelô" and the pro guy took it as an insult, posted screenshots of their chat online and it just spiraled into them taking shots at each other on social media
the pro guy released a song opening up about drug use and the other guy used it to mock him, then made a sticker of the pro guy and his gf calling them a "crazy drug couple" and sent it to a group chat I was in
I thought it was messed up involving the girlfriend so I just left the group, didn’t laugh or reply, but I also didn’t tell my friend about it because he’s hot-headed and I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire
he found out later though and now he’s saying I stabbed him in the back, comparing it to when he warned me about a serious false accusation his gf made against me, which feels totally different to me since this is just childish drama vs an actual crime accusation
I wasn’t trying to be shady I just wanted out of the mess but now I don’t know if I made the wrong call
You made the right call considering the situation. Maybe it would be a good idea to take some time off from both friends.
Not telling him is okay. Not telling the instigator that it isn’t okay is not. Not taking a side is taking a side. Tell each of them when they do something that it’s wrong and immature.
the bigger guy goes down that’s you. drop friendship if pressed. nta be well
