Rapper J Cole says he feels 'terrible' about Kendrick Lamar diss track and vows to delete it

 

On a fateful Friday, J Cole dropped a track titled “7 Minute Drill.” In this fiery song, he didn’t hold back, branding Kendrick Lamar’s latest album as “tragic.” The diss was sharp, and fans eagerly dissected every line.

The feud between Cole and Lamar began earlier when Cole suggested that he, Lamar, and Drake were the “big three” of modern rap. Lamar, never one to mince words, rejected this notion. In his verse on “Like That,” he asserted, “It’s just me.” He also took subtle jabs at Drake and Cole’s work.

Fast forward to J. Cole’s new mixtape, “Might Delete Later.” He included “7 Minute Drill” but quickly expressed remorse. During a performance at the Dreamville Festival, he confessed that the diss track was “the lamest, goofiest shit” he had ever done. The pressure to respond after Lamar’s powerful verse weighed on him, but he felt conflicted. After all, he considered himself blessed to stand beside both Lamar and Drake.

In a heartfelt three-minute rant, J. Cole admitted that the past two days had felt terrible. He hoped Kendrick Lamar hadn’t taken offense. As he faced the crowd, he asked, “Y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.” He vowed to delete the track from streaming platforms and sought forgiveness from his fans for the misstep.

Kendrick Lamar hasn’t directly responded to Cole’s diss. Perhaps he’s biding his time, plotting his next move. Meanwhile, Drake, the third member of the “big three,” remains silent as well.

The rap game is a battlefield of egos, creativity, and pride. J. Cole’s regret serves as a reminder that even the most talented artists can stumble. As fans, we’ll eagerly await Kendrick Lamar’s response if it ever comes and hope that this feud doesn’t overshadow the music itself.
