The American rapper J. Cole has explained why he took down the diss track he had intended to release against Kendrick Lamar, his colleague.

ZINGTIE remembers that when Lamar made fun of Cole and Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” which featured him, J. Cole responded on “7 Minute Drill,” claiming that “he fell off like the Simpsons.”

Unexpectedly, J. Cole apologized to Lamar during his concert at the 2024 Dreamville Festival in North Carolina in April.

Cole justified his actions on his most recent song, “Port Antonio,” by saying that the people fueling the debate were after “blood” and attention so they could make money off of it.

He claimed that he and Lamar would have become enemies if he had carried out the quarrel.

He raps: “I pulled the plug because I saw where that was about to go, they wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make their pockets grow.

“They see the fire in my pen and think I’m dogging smoke. I wouldn’t have lost the battle, dog, I would’ve lost a bro, I would’ve gained a foe, and all for what?”
