Cole teased the project for most of 2025, leading many fans to believe that the album was going to drop last year. And when Cole failed to deliver the project, it left many fans confused about why.
During a recent episode of Rory & Mal, Mal mentions that Kendrick Lamar and Drake were both originally planned to be on the project. However, according to him, Cole decided to boot both artists off the project in the aftermath of their 2024 rap beef.
“Yes, Kendrick was on the album, and Drake was on the album. Well, was, which is why we didn’t get the album, cause now he gotta do his whole album over,” Mal said as heard through @Kurrrco/X.
It will be interesting to see who will be featured on the album if Kendrick and Drake were nixed.
