J Cole is being praised on social media for bowing out of his feud with Kendrick Lamar in time to avoid catching a diss track from the rapper. The comments come after Lamar targeted Drake on his scathing new song, "Euphoria," which hit streaming services on Tuesday. On the track, Lamar brings up Drake's race, accuses him of being a bad father, reflects on his feud with Pusha T, and more.
“I’m glad J. Cole tapped out these two dudes absolutely HATE each other lmao," one user on Twitter wrote. Another added: "With Kendrick dropping his diss track, the more i realize that i owe J Cole an apology. he was right to ride his bike up outta there because Kendrick Lamar and Drake HATE each other.” One more fan wrote: “J Cole somewhere on that bike with the wind against his face feeling grateful. Bless.”
J Cole Apologizes To Kendrick Lamar At Dreamville Festival
Lamar originally dissed both Drake and J Cole with his verse on Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That." The track prompted a response from Cole, who fired back at Lamar on "7 Minute Drill." Just days later, Cole admitted he regretted doing so and apologized. “That sh*t disrupts my f*cking peace," he admitted at Dreamville Festival. "So what I want to say right here tonight is in the midst of me doing that, trying to find a little angle and downplay this n***a’s f*cking catalog and his greatness, I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherf*ckers to ever touch a f*cking microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I."
