50 Cent has reacted to J. Cole‘s public apology for creating a diss track against Kendrick Lamar, urging the rapper to call him.
Last Friday (April 5), the North Carolina rapper surprised rap fans by releasing his fourth mixtape, ‘Might Delete Later’. On the closing track ‘7 Minute Drill’, Cole sent shots at Kendrick Lamar in response to the latter’s verse on ‘Like That’ from Future and Metro Boomin’s joint project, ‘We Don’t Trust You’.
Cole called him, Lamar and Drake “the big three” of modern rap music on ‘First Person Shooter’. Lamar threw this back in his face on ‘Like That’, rhyming, “Motherfuck the big three, n****, it’s just big me.”
So, Cole clapped back on ‘7 Minute Drill’, saying: “I got a phone call, they say that somebody dissing / You want some attention, it come with extensions.”
Cole continued: “I’m hesitant, I love my brother, but I’m not gonna lie / I’m powered up for real, that shit would feel like swattin’ a fly / Four albums in twelve years, n****, I can divide / Shit, if this is what you want, I’m indulgin’ in violence“.
While performing at the Dreamville Festival during the weekend, J. Cole told the audience that the song was “the lamest shit I ever did in my fucking life.”
“I moved in a way that I spiritually feel bad on me,” he further explained. “I tried to jab my n**** back and keep it friendly. At the end of the day, when I listen to it, and it comes out and I see the talk, that shit don’t sit right with me.”
He then showed remorse for the move and asked K-Dot for forgiveness, telling him he can “take [his] best shot” and he’ll “take that shit on the chin.”
Kendrick Lamar has yet to respond to ‘7 Minute Drill’ or the Grammy winner’s apology.
50 Cent then posted a video of J. Cole’s three-minute-long speech to his Instagram. He wondered in the caption beneath it: “WTF? How [did] I miss this, @realcoleworld? Call my phone [telephone emoji] right now!”
Fiddy has been a part of many legendary rap feuds, including one with fellow New Yorker Ja Rule – which has been going on for over 20 years. The conflict reignited earlier this year after 50 commented on Rule being refused entry to the UK ahead of his ‘Sunrise’ tour.
50 also brought J. Cole out at the New York stop of his ‘The Final Lap’ tour last year. While on stage, Cole called 50’s debut album – the rap classic ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin” – “the best album of all time.”
In other news, Drake seemingly replied to Lamar’s ‘Like That’ verse while on his and Cole’s ‘It’s All A Blur – Big As the What?’ tour. ” I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m feeling 10 feet fucking high,” he told the crowd. “No matter where I go, there’s not a n**** on this Earth that can fuck with me tonight.”
