In a preview of an upcoming interview, J. Cole describes feeling disgusted by the public discourse surrounding the high-profile rap feud.
J. Cole has offered a brief but pointed reflection on the recent high-profile diss track cycle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. In a preview of a full interview with Cam’ron set to release later this week, Cole expressed a clear distaste for the surrounding discourse.
According to Billboard, Cole stated he was “disgusted” by how people attempted to discredit Drake during the conflict, comparing the atmosphere to politics. His comments mark a rare direct address of the situation, which saw several high-profile rappers drawn into the lyrical battle.
The forthcoming conversation with Cam’ron is also set to cover the host’s own lawsuit against Cole, adding a separate layer of personal history to the discussion. Cole’s perspective places the focus less on the artistic merits of the diss tracks themselves and more on the reductive and partisan fan reactions they generated.
