Looks like a moment of humbleness on J.Cole’s part may have enraged fans looking for a proper rap battle.
We shared J.Cole’s speech during his Dreamville Festival performance in North Carolina where he expressed regret for getting caught up and clapping back at Kendrick Lamar.
During his set he said:
“I’m so proud of [‘Might Delete Later’], except for one part. It’s one part of that shit that makes me feel like, man that’s the lamest shit I did in my fuckin’ life, right? And I know this is not what a lot of people want to hear.”
J Cole added that he felt pressured to reply to Lamar after the conversations it sparked.
“I was conflicted because, one I know my heart and I know how I feel about my peers, these two n—s that I just been blessed to even stand beside in this game, let alone chase they greatness. So I felt conflicted ’cause I’m like, bruh I don’t even feel no way. But the world wanna see blood. I don’t know if y’all can feel that, but the world wanna see blood.”
“That shit disrupts my fuckin’ peace. So what I want to say right here tonight is in the midst of me doing that and in that shit, trying to find a little angle and downplay this n—a’s fucking catalog and his greatness, I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherfucker’s to ever touch a fuckin’ microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”

J. Cole Gets Dragged
His words are not sitting well with folks on Social media who have removed him from the Big 3 and added Future as his replacement.
The Big 3 from now on is Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Future. J Cole eliminated from all hip hop conversations.. apologizing for dissing a nigga who violated u… is not hip hop.

“The Big 3 from now on is Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Future. J Cole eliminated from all hip hop conversations.. apologizing for dissing a nigga who violated u… is not hip hop,”
“J Cole a whole b*tch He had smoke for Lil Pump but turns into a bitch when it’s someone his own size Kendrick was right about the “Big 3”
“This nigga J Cole folded in less than a week dawg don’t EVER tell me that’s he’s part of the big 3 again,” another person wrote.

To that point! Cole has never done anything in career based on clout or fame, he even told us this in his music.
So we get it!
Remember this song:
For everybody said Damn Cole
