Amidst the cosmic dance of Mercury Retrograde stirring up communication hiccups and misunderstandings, it seems the worlds of hip-hop are also buzzing with their own conflicting narratives. J. Cole recently found himself having to address some wild rumors that were circulating like bad gossip at a family reunion. In a candid moment that was quite revealing—kind of like checking your horoscope and realizing it’s way off—he firmly stated, “That’s a complete lie.” The internet’s churning machine can’t resist spinning tales, even if they’re as flimsy as a last-place sports team’s championship dreams. But why exactly did J. Cole feel the need to apologize to Kendrick Lamar? This brings us to an even more thought-provoking question: is there always truth in the diss tracks, or do we often see only what the stars allow us to see? Let’s unravel this string of lyrical honesty and cosmic confusion!
“That’s a complete lie,” he said in reference to those rumors, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter. “Ask ScHoolboy Q. That’s just Internet, that’s a straight lie. There’s many of those. Many half-truths, and many way more straight lies. Like, the ScHoolboy Q s**t is a straight lie. Of course, shout out to ScHoolboy Q. He not gon’ come out and just say it on his own. But when you get a chance, ask him. It’s a straight-up lie.”
For those who subscribed to this theory, a question remains: Why did J. Cole apologize to Kendrick Lamar? The former has been very open in recent interviews about addressing this, speaking to how the “7 Minute Drill” diss he launched did not really motivate him. In fact, he said he felt spiritually disturbed and burdened, and that the apology set him free.
“I’m like, alright, this is what I’ll do,” Cole told Cam’ron of his Might Delete Later diss on Cam’s Talk With Flee show. “Let me say just enough to where it looks like I said something. Everything I’m saying to him, I know and he know it’s all survivable. I’m not hitting him with no fatal blows. Mind you, it’s a decision made out of non-clarity. But through that non-clarity, it seemed like my best option. The second it comes out, you created a dividing line where you’re forcing the world to pick a side. If they f**k with you, they’ve got to slander him. They’re taking what you said and giving it gas and giving it light,” he added. “And then my thought becomes, ‘Oh f**k, I done f***ed up.'”
