Two years later, and the rap beef that broke up the Big 3 of Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole is still making headlines.
J. Cole finally stopped by Cam’ron’s interview series Talk With Flee to not only address their issues — like the lawsuit Killa filed back in October — but also his current standing with Drake and Kendrick and the aftermath that followed their historic battle.
“Right away, the world became like politics,” Cole responded after Cam asked if he felt like things got out of hand. “You either Democrat or Republican, you either Kendrick or you Drake, and you have to pick a side. And I felt like the n—a that was disgusted both ways, damn near. To me, it’s like disgusting how people try to use that opportunity to either show how they really felt about Drake the whole time or just pile on and tear this dude down and create a narrative as if he’s not great.”
Cam then asked Cole where he is with Kendrick and Drake friendship-wise.
“I’m in the same place,” Cole answered. “Where it’s like, Yo, I genuinely love these n—as, but I’m not going to act like we’ve been communicating and talking. I’ve had conversations with them post-everything, but it’s not like it’s a lot. That’s me not knowing where they at. Me maybe assuming, ’cause I done heard x-y-and-z, but it has nothing to do with how I actually feel. I genuinely love these n—as. I be wanting to shoot off a text, you know what I mean? Even saying that on a mic is kind of lame to me, but it is my truth.”
In another clip, they both talked about Cam’ron’s pending lawsuit against J. Cole, with Cam asking what emotions Cole felt when he first heard about the lawsuit. “I was like hurt, almost disappointed,” he answered. “Like, ‘Nah, Cam, not you.’”
