Mal is calling on J. Cole to address lingering questions surrounding his relationship with Drake, suggesting the situation deserves clarity from Cole himself.
Speaking during a recent conversation, Mal said Cole owes fans an explanation for allegedly cutting off Drake after having a conversation with Kendrick Lamar. According to Mal, the move doesn’t sit right and should be addressed directly on Cole’s upcoming album.
“On this album, he better explain why he had that conversation with Kendrick and then never spoke to Drake after that again in his life,” Mal said. “He has to explain that. That’s nasty.”
The comments have sparked renewed debate among hip-hop fans, especially given the long-discussed dynamics between Cole, Drake, and Kendrick—three artists often grouped together at the top of their generation. As anticipation builds for Cole’s next project, many listeners are now wondering whether he’ll use the music to address the speculation head-on or let the questions remain unanswered.
