Kanye Takes Shots at J Cole
In a social media post on April 1, Ye revealed that he “hates” the Dreamville founder.
“I hate J Cole Music so much. It’s like between Kendrick and J Cole. I bet you industry plants asked J Cole to diss Drake then we would have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it,” Ye wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He also added: “No one listens to J Cole after losing their virginity.”
Drake and Ye have had their issues in the past. But music executive J. Prince was able to bridge the gap between the two stars — and arranged a meeting between them while West was recording Donda. Kanye said during that conversation he expressed his disdain for J. Cole to Drake.
“When I met up with Drake during Donda most of the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip hop by giving J Cole a platform and I was saying how much I loved Future, he added.
“How I hate Drake and I’m team Drake at the same time? Life is funny like that. It’s the weird thing where I feel closest to Drake outta anybody in rap.”
All of the hype last summer was focused on the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. But what has flown under the radar was that J Cole was also initially included in the feud. It was Cole’s verse on his and Drake’s track “First Person Shooter,” where Cole referred to him, Drake, and Kendrick as the “big three” of hip-hop. That triggered Kendrick’s verse on “Like That” which aimed at him and Drake.
