The rap world has been abuzz for over two years over the high-profile feud involving Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole. Recently, J. Cole appeared on Cameron’s interview series Talk With Flee, where he openly discussed the feud, its aftermath, and his personal stance on the matter.
Cole described the situation as reaching a point where “everything felt political. You were either a Democrat or Republican, either on Kendrick’s side or Drake’s side, and everyone felt compelled to choose. I found myself in the position of someone who disliked both sides equally. The way people seized every opportunity to discredit Drake was astonishing.”
Despite the tension, Cole emphasised that his relationships with both Drake and Kendrick remain “cordial.” He elaborated: “I truly love them, but we don’t speak regularly. There have been a few conversations, but they’ve been very limited. I’ve heard a lot, but none of it has changed my feelings. I really love them, and sometimes I feel the urge to send them a message.”
The interview also touched on a lawsuit filed against Cole by Cameron. Reflecting on the legal action, Cole admitted: “When I first heard about it, I felt hurt and disappointed. It was one of those moments where you think, ‘No, Cam, you’re not serious.’”
