J. Cole Issues Apology Over Kendrick Lamar Diss
On Sunday, April 9th, J. Cole headlined the last night of his fourth annual Dreamville Festival in front of a crowd of 52,000 people in Raleigh, North Carolina. Opening the show with “Crocodile Tears,” the event took an unexpected turn when Cole began a monologue, revealing his thoughts on dissing Kendrick Lamar in “7 Minute Drill.”
The record, a last-minute addition to his Friday release, “Might Delete Later,” was a response to Kendrick’s verse on Future & Metro Boomin‘s “We Don’t Trust You” LP cut, “Like That.” J. Cole stated that his response was “lame” and that he had been unable to sleep comfortably. After acknowledging Kendrick’s talent, he informed his manager, Ib, that he would also be removing the record from streaming services.
“I just want to come up here and publicly be like, bruh, that was the lamest, goofiest shit. 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 on my path. I pray that my n-gga really didn’t feel no way and if he did, my n-gga, I got my chin out. Take your best shot. I’ma take that shit on the chin, boy. Do what you do.”
He continued with “And I pray that y’all forgive a n-gga for the misstep and I can get back to my true path. Because I ain’t gonna lie to y’all, the past two days felt terrible. It let me know how good I’ve been sleeping for the past 10 years.”
