J. Cole addresses dropping out of Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef.

The rapper surprised fans and dropped a new single titled “Port Antonio.”

On the track Cole seemingly addresses dropping out of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef. “I pulled the plug because I seen where that was about to go, they wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow” he rapped.

The verse continued: “I wouldn’t have lost the battle, dog, I would’ve lost a bro, I would’ve gained a foe, and all for what?/ Jermaine is no king, if that means I gotta dig up dirt and pay the whole team of algorithm bot n*****s just to sway the whole thing on social media, competing for ya favorable memes”

Elsewhere in the song directly addressed Drake. “Hey Drake, you’ll always be my n***a/ I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n***a.” Listen below.

 J. Cole previously sent warning shots to Kendrick Lamar on his track “7 Minute Drill.” “Yo first s**t was classic, yo last s**t was tragic / Yo second s**t put n***as to sleep but they gassed it, your third s**t was massive, that was your prime / I was trailing right behind, now I Just now hit mine.”

At the time, Cole was responding to Lamar dissing him on the track “Like That.” Lamar rapped:

“Yeah, get up with me, f*ck sneak dissing/’First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches/ Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Motherf*ck the Big 3, n***a, it’s just big me.” 

J. COle Apologizes:

Cole has since apologized for dissing Lamar.

“…Man, that’s the lamest shit I ever did. In my fucking life’ right?” said Cole about making the track. “And, I know, this is not what a lot of people want to hear… I can hear my n***as up there right now like… ‘Nahhh, don’t do that.’ But, I gotta keep it 100 with y’all. I damn near had a relapse, right? Because, y’all heard some shit that happened two-three weeks ago, however long it was… y’all heard that bazooka that was dropped.”

He continued: “I felt conflicted ’cause I’m like, bruh I know I don’t really feel a way. But the world wanna see blood… so I say all of that to say, in my spirit of trying to get this music out, I moved in a way that spiritually feels bad on me. I tried to jab my n***a back and I tried to keep it friendly. But at the end of the day, when I listen to it and when it comes out and I see the talk, that sh*t don’t sit right with my spirit.”
