Drake finds himself entangled in a feud involving J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. While Lamar stands as the opponent, Cole is positioned as his ally in this conflict. Although Drake hasn’t directly responded to Lamar’s “Like That” verse, Cole has notably reacted. He surprised fans with the release of his album “Might Delete Later” on Friday, featuring a track titled “7 Minute Drill,” which takes shots at Kendrick and his discography. However, Cole’s demeanor shifted during his appearance at Dreamville Fest on Sunday night when he opted to extend an apology for the feud.
This unexpected apology sparked uproar among fans on social media, who deemed it contrary to the fundamental principles of a rap feud. Many felt that the apology lacked sincerity and depth, viewing Cole’s initial diss as a challenge for Kendrick to prove his prowess. Instead, they perceive Cole as evading confrontation, which has left some fans feeling disappointed and betrayed. DJ Akademiks, in particular, openly criticized Cole’s actions on Twitter, expressing disdain for the apology and even sharing the video with Drake, urging him not to follow suit.
In response, Drake allegedly expressed offense at Akademiks’ insinuation, asserting, “I can’t believe you would say some sh*t like that to me, you must not know me.” This indicates Drake’s disinclination towards issuing an apology. However, whether he plans to retaliate with a diss track remains uncertain, given the repercussions of his previous diss track, “The Story Of Adidon.” With anticipation mounting, fans eagerly await Drake’s next move, speculating on whether he will respond or choose to remain silent for the time being.
