J. Cole's Kendrick Lamar Diss: A Friendship's Fallout

0:00On March 26th, Jay Cole recently opened up on Cameron's talk with Fleet Podcast about the backlash he faced for his Kendrick Lamar diss track called, Seven Minute Drill. He released it back in March as a response to Kendrick's verse on like that, but quickly pulled it after realizing and missed the mark. Cole explained he only wanted to throw some light punches to keep the rap battle fun without hurting their friendship. His plan was to trade a few lines, then team up and drop killer albums together to dominate the game. Fans and the hip-hop world split right away, forcing people to pick sides and turning it into real drama. Cole felt instant regret, comparing his bars to just shooting someone in the toe playful, but not deadly. He scrapped the track from streaming platforms days later and publicly apologized to Kendrick on stage at Dream Bill Fest. That move opened the door for Drake to jump into the feud with Kendrick later that April. In the end, Cole scrapped earlier plans that included Kendrick features on his album, The Fall Off, shifting focus after the whole mess unfolded.
