In a world where hip-hop rivalries often spark fierce debates, it’s hard not to mix your planetary alignments with the hottest album drops. So, what’s the cosmic temperature today? Well, if you’ve been following the cosmic signs, you know things get a little heated when our beloved artists step out of their comfort zones. Take Mal, for instance—he’s become a staunch defender of Drake, and let me tell you, that loyalty could put even the most resilient Taurus to shame! But now, with J. Cole’s recent moves feeling like a betrayal to some in the Drake camp, the stakes of this narrative rise higher than a Sagittarius at a festival! Did Mal just attend Cole’s concert, defying the narrative that he’s not welcome? Spoiler alert: he did and surprisingly came away impressed. So, as the stars shift overhead, let’s dive deep into the drama, emotions, and a bit of playful banter surrounding Mal’s thoughts on J. Cole, and whether these two rap titans can coexist under the same moon.
Mal has become a big Drake defender over the years, and Cole’s decision felt like a betrayal. There are plenty of Drake fans out there who felt exactly how Mal did. However, few have the platform he does.
Of course, with this criticism has come a narrative that Dreamville doesn’t like Mal. That somehow his presence at a concert would cause problems. He and Rory tested this theory over the weekend as they visited Cole’s latest The Fall-Off tour stop in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.
As it turns out, everything went smoothly, and Mal came away impressed with Cole. That said, he still has some reservations about the rapper’s handling of the beef.
“I just hate what he did as a rapper, as an MC, in a very rapper-MC moment,” Mal explained. This is certainly a fair criticism, and it is hardly the first time that someone has said something similar. Mal simply receives more flak for this take because of his association with Drake.
Regardless of his decision to apologize, you cannot deny that Cole is an iconic MC with the catalog to back it up. Overall, he remains a fan favorite and his numbers firmly place him within the Big Three, whether you like it or not.
