J. Cole reveals his Dreamville Fest apology to Kendrick Lamar came to him just ONE hour before going on stage: “It hit me an hour before… the two or three days before that, it was terrible because I felt like I misrepresented myself…" "I'm giving life to division and negative storylines on somebody that I f*ck with, and I got love for..." "An hour before, it was like, aha… you got an opportunity to go on a bigger stage and say something that you believe in.” (via Apple Music)

@Whats_the_dirt Kendrick had love for them too,but said they shud know what time it is as he will murder them n make sure they fans never heard of em lol Dot is the embodiment of an aggressive MC who wants to b #1, Cole is exactly where he shud b, humble,passive #3, well 2 since drake sued

J Cole Speaks on his relationship with both Kendrick & Drake in new Apple interview "I Got major love for both of these guys"

@JJacqueline29 @dopeartian @DJHed He dont got to be at odds with Kendrick but from what we see, Dot dont fw him like that. He keeps pushing like they good n they ain't to the point where dots body guard came out to discredit a claim he made.They telling him lowkey stay over there cus that's ur boy. Now he doin it

@Threejae26 @dopeartian @DJHed Drake and Game have a real friendship, so naturally he’s going to show more support to one over the other but that doesn’t mean he can’t still be cordial with Kendrick. Him being koo with Drake doesn’t automatically mean he has to be at odds with Kendrick.

Dot, G, & Sallis really don’t be wrong about people.. crazy

@AyoCruxify @dopeartian @DJHed Yes, he can, but the problem is he acts like he cool with Dots side when he clearly isn't and has more allegiance to Drake, that's OK but don't pander like it's all good n want to b cool with Dots side, he even went as far as dissing Dot lol.

@Threejae26 @dopeartian @DJHed He can't support his friends album?

@JJacqueline29 @dopeartian @DJHed Exactly, but he acts like he cool wit Dots side but he isn't really. Game comes off as trying to play both sides when he clearly rocks with 1 more than the other n even sneak disses Dot, n that's OK, ppl just don't like the pretending to be good wen ure not.

@Threejae26 @dopeartian @DJHed Confirming what exactly? That he supports Drake?... didn't he say he will always support Drake.

@dopeartian @DJHed Looks like he talking about the game finally stopped tip toeing around his two-faced behavior and in full support of Drake, he changed his IG photo to the Iceman diamond in solidarity with Aubrey. Officially confirming what we all cud see.

@DJHed What happened lol

@Whats_the_dirt Drake is really spiraling, now the ice isn't snow but diamond now, so it's a pivot n they are just trend hopping cuz 1 guy did it they all following. I don't see how ppl don't see that Drake really doesn't have a clue what to do Rn, he is second guessing himself and ideas

This is the first outside affiliate rapper that has joined the trend. I wonder how many others will join in?

The Game remains loyal to Drake and shows support by changing his profile pic to a diamond on Instagram 🧊 🦉

J. Cole names Lionel Messi as the "GOAT" on “OFG!”, his new track with Mike WiLL Made-It 🐐 “Shout' to Lionel Messi, he's the GOAT, only started watchin' weeks ago, why they never told me soccer was lit?”

@theknoxhill It's basically a mix tape to cement the not like us moment, it's coded in that West coast bounce DNA. Definitely his least cohesive, but it's intentional. I still believe he did some of those songs & features a month or two before release.

Kendrick winning rap album of the year was a moment for sure. But GNX is not his best album. Or even his second best.. change my mind.

@Whats_the_dirt Hey @Whats_the_dirt I hope u see that there are Drake stans as well that don't see the CLEAR similarities n y the case ain't going nowhere. Both sides have delusional ppl 😂

@Whats_the_dirt Yup, Drake is the best and greatest rapper in Canadian history.

Boi-1da saw the vision with Drake from day one 🇨🇦

@Iambecause2016 @theknoxhill They just fighting for their man's n who is lining their pockets, Drake is a business.There's money in dick riding him *pause*. Drake is extremely hurt,but he feels the need to not show what we all can see. Ppl forget this is a guy that DMs utubers n keeps snk diss pusha yrs ltr.

@Threejae26 @theknoxhill So why do you think his fans are still so bitter? Or why did Gillie and AK say he was damaged. If nothing changed, why not just be happy and enjoy? I truly don’t get it.

Got a serious question for any Drake fans who still follow me: If ICEMAN flops, where does that leave Drake's legacy post Kendrick beef?

@ItzBasin He cudve in 2024 with gnx, if he had: -dropped his album during the height of the beef, easy. -If there was a proper roll out for gnx -If he had included not like us on it. Side note: gnx cudve done n surpassed damn if the orders were ready n it had a roll out time. 600k plus ez

@gothamhiphop That's great, its being touted as his LAST album, it's like a farewell album and roll out. Good album roll-out if he faking retirement for the sales. 😂

J. Cole’s upcoming ‘The Fall-Off’ tour just broke records: ▫️800k tickets sold on presale ▫️The most presale tickets sold for any hip hop tour across 18 markets ▫️Expanded from 54 shows to 73 shows due to unprecedented demand “This is The Fall-Off I’m falling off how?”

@SeewhyChels All this is showing is that Drake is unure about this album,Ak just running narratives again. Every other big star aka kendrick, swift etc all on breaks, he should drop but he insecure. If future is on it,wudnt it ave more impact being hidden?, drake n OVO are super disorganized

🚨 Akademiks speaks on reports about Drake and Future possibly reconnecting ahead of ICEMAN. Ak says nobody in media actually knows what’s on the album yet, which is why the entire hip-hop conversation is centered around Drake. “J. Cole’s album came and went… it’s Iceman season.” Ak also says Drake previously told him he was never on the phone with Future, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise from Elliott Wilson.

@chatnigga101 All this is showing is that Drake is unure about this album,Ak just running narratives again. Every other big star aka kendrick, swift etc all on breaks, he should drop but he insecure. If future is on it,wudnt it ave more impact being hidden?, drake n OVO are super disorganized

Dj akademiks responds to all of the media personalities saying that Future is on the Drake iceman album

girl why you in portmore?

@EChilamanda @Whats_the_dirt Wat r u talking about, I watch real football, I'm not American, there's never been a WC halftime show. Granted, I don't want there to be cause football is more important n fifa is just more greedy, but if Drake can get bragging rights, I don't see y not.

@Threejae26 @Whats_the_dirt Shut up idiot! The performance at the World Cup has always been there! We have seen the likes of davido, burna boy and bts perform. Nothing significant. Stop sucking dick and start thinking

Drake's theme around Phones seemingly continues. 7 Months ago Drake installed a mysterious 'Bell' Pay Phone outside of his home in Toronto. Since then, we've seen major cryptic messaging around telephones. The Nokia track, owls on phone lines and today he posted another "Bell" reference (tying back to that pay phone). What's The Boy up to?
