Video: J. Cole & Lil Pump Interview Each Other
Earlier this week, J. Cole teased a clip of him interviewing 19-year-old Lil Pump. As we heard in his Angie Martinez interview, Cole stated that his K.O.D.-LP cut, “1985” was not geared towards him, and if anything, he had a part in the influence of the album.
The Dreamville rapper released the interview in full last night recorded at Cole’s The Sheltuh studio in North Carolina.
Starting the interview off, Cole explained how he and Pump hashed things out and even admitted that he thought the “Gucci Gang” rapper was trolling him when he brought the idea of an interview.
“We ended up speaking on the phone,” he reveals. “Somebody called my phone and you was there with them. I ain’t gonna lie, I thought you was trying to set me up or some shit. I was like, ‘Yo, he’s 17 and a massive troll.’ I think you wanted to FaceTime right?…Cause my album had just dropped like a week before that, so I thought if I FaceTimed you, I thought you’d just screenshot that shit and go right to Twitter and keep running with it more.”
