Should i care about my friend?

My friend got his face busted open by an individual but from what I been hearing is that he some how considers me a snitch when I get involved in his personal life....I haven't talk to him in the last few days but I know his situation was really bad....I want to ask him how he's doing but I dislike it when people talk bad about me....should I give him a call and care about his situation or should I just step back and pay him no mind??
