J. Cole Reveals True Thoughts About Drake and Kendrick Lamar
The feud between Drizzy and K. Dot drew a line in the sand. Forcing fans to choose a side and stay there, which, of course, caused major division within the rap industry. However, Cole says that even though both artists have deep disdain for each other, he still has “genuine love” for both of them.
“I admire these dudes. I got genuine love for these dudes. Like, I hate to see the world sh*t on either one of them in defense of the other,” he said (via Kurrrco/X)

Fans in the comments section of the social media post went crazy with the reactions.
“Cole really is the only one in the Big 3 who actually wants to see everyone win. Love the maturity, even if the fans want blood,” one fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“His body language speaks volumes. You can tell he’s uncomfortable talking about it,” a second user chimed in.
“genuine love for a dude you dropped a diss track about what a complete liar,” a third user said.
The 2024 rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar is one that has had lasting impacts. Even though the dust has appeared to settle, two years later, it is a subject.
It’s unclear whether Drake and Lamar feel the same way about Cole in the aftermath of their feud. Neither artist has responded to his comments.
