J. Cole has issued a public apology to Kendrick Lamar for the diss track he included on his newly released project, Might Delete Later.
On the closing track, “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole claimed Lamar had fallen off “like The Simpsons” and mocked his recent musical output. Cole rapped about Lamar, “Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic/ Your second shit put n***as to sleep but they gassed it/ Your third shit was a massive hit, that was your prime/ I was trailing right behind but I just now hit mine/ Now I’m front of the line with a comfortable lead/ How ironic, soon as I got it now he want something with me.”
Less than 48 hours after releasing the project, however, Cole was already expressing regret. Speaking during his set at the Dreamvillle Music Festival on Sunday night, Cole said, “I am so proud of that project, except for one part.”
“It’s one part on that shit that make me feel like, ‘Man, that’s the lamest shit I ever did.’ And, I know, this is not what a lot of people want to hear… But, I gotta keep it 100 with y’all. I damn near had a relapse, right?”
Cole explained that he felt forced to hit back at Lamar after he dropped his own J. Cole diss on the Future and Metro Boomin track, “Like That.”
“I must have had a thousand missed calls oh my fucking god. Texts flooded. I couldn’t answer my shit,” Cole said. “N*** it’s war time. N**** wanna see blood, and I was conflicted because one, I know my heart. I know how I feel about my peers that I been blessed to stand beside in this game let alone chase their greatness. So I felt conflicted cause like, bruh, I don’t really feel no way but the world wanna see blood. I don’t know if y’all can feel that but the world wanna see blood.”
“Y’all love Kendrick Lamar correct. As do I,” Cole continued, “so I just wanna come up here and publicly be like, bruh, that was the lamest goofiest shit, and I say all that to say it made me feel like 10 years ago when I was moving incorrectly, and I pray that God will line me back up on my purpose and my path. I pray that my n** didn’t feel no way and if he did, my n***, I got my chin out, take your best shot I’ma take that shit on the chin. Boy, do what you do. All good. It’s love. And I pray that y’all forgive a n***a for the misstep and I can get back to my true path cause I ain’t gonna lie to y’all the past two days felt terrible.”
It’s worth noting that, despite much public criticism following its release, Cole had nothing to say about the transphobic line included on the Might Delete Later track “Pi.”
