J Cole dissed Kendrick Lamar on the track “7 Minute Drill.” Overall, it was simply a response to what K-Dot was saying on “Like That.” However, at Dreamville Fest on Sunday night, Cole got on stage and decided to apologize. In the end, he wasn’t happy with himself and what he said in the diss. As a result, he made sure to give Kendrick his flowers. “I’m so proud of [Might Delete Later] except for one part,” he explained. “There’s one part of that s**t that make me feel like, ‘Man, that’s the lamest s**t I ever did in my f***in’ life,’ right? And I know this is not what a lot of people wanna hear. I can hear my n***as up there being like, ‘Nah, don’t do that.’ But I gotta keep it a hunnid with y’all.”
“At the end of the day, when I listen to it…and I see the talk, that s**t don’t sit right with my spirit. That s**t disrupts my f***ing peace…in the midst of me doing that…and trying to find a little angle and downplay this n***a’s f***in’ catalog and his greatness,” Cole went on to say. “I wanna say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest muthaf**kas that ever touched a f***in’ microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”
