J. Cole Stands By ‘7 Minute Drill’ Being ‘The Lamest Sh*t’ And Removed The Song From Streaming Services
J. Cole surprise-dropped Might Delete Later and seems to have surprised himself more than anybody else. The project included the song “7 Minute Drill,” which was a response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Like That” from Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You. Lamar not-so-subtly dissed Cole and Drake, and Cole hit back with bars like, “Your first sh*t was classic, your last sh*t was tragic / Your second sh*t put n****s to sleep, but they gassed it.” Days later, Cole publicly apologized to Lamar while performing at his annual Dreamville Festival and vowed to remove “7 Minute Drill” from streaming services.
He meant that — and he really took Might Delete Later literally.
As of Friday afternoon, April 12, “7 Minute Drill” is no longer available to stream on Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube. The song is still listed on the Might Delete Later tracklist, but it’s grayed out with no option to hit play.

“I’m so proud of that project, except for one part,” Cole said on stage at Dreamville, as captured by HipHopDX. “It’s one part of that sh*t that make me feel like, man, that’s the lamest sh*t I ever did in my f*cking life, right?” After acknowledging that a lot of people don’t want to hear an apology or anything to dilute the perception of rap beef, Cole said, “I damn near had a relapse” because of how much it had been weighing on him.
Read more from Cole’s apology below.
“All of this time of me moving on my own accord, for the first time, I was tested. Why am I tested? Because I got the world and I got my n****s like, ‘What you gonna do, Cole?’ Boy, I must have had a thousand missed calls. Oh, my f*cking God. Texts flooded. I couldn’t even answer my sh*t. ‘N****, it’s wartime!’ N****s wanna see blood.
I was conflicted because, one, I know my heart. You know what I mean? 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 because I’m like, ‘Bruh, I know I don’t really feel no way.’ But the world wanted to see blood. So I say all of that to say, in my spirit of trying to get this music out — I ain’t gonna lie to y’all — I moved in a way that, spiritually, feels bad on me.
I tried to, like, jab my n**** 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 make me feel right in my spirit. That sh*t disrupts my f*cking peace. So, what I want to say right here tonight is — in the midst of me doing that and trying to find a little angle and downplay this n****’s f*cking catalog and his greatness — I wanna say here tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherf*ckers to ever touch a f*cking microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”
NLE Choppa Starts New “Thrust” Challenge, Clears Up Sexuality Confusion
Today, NLE Choppa dropped his new track “Slut Me Out 2,” which is just as explicit as one would expect. The Memphis-born performer first teased the song during his performance at Rolling Loud in March, pairing the raunchy bars with some equally suggestive dance moves. It appears as though the rapper’s confidence has led to some confusion around his sexuality, however, which he recently addressed.
Earlier this week, he hopped on Twitter/X to clear things up, making it clear that he’s only romantically interested in women. “I understand me being in love with myself as a BLACKMAN is so RARE to the point some people try putting the homosexual jacket on my name but with all due respect I love ALL, but my intimacy lies with women only [prayer emoji],” he wrote.

Fans think he handled his response well, and are praising him for being respectful and straightforward. Some commenters think that critics are simply jealous that Choppa is comfortable enough with himself to have fun. Luckily, he hasn’t let that slow him down, as he recently took to Instagram to invite others to join in on his new “thrust challenge.”
He asked Drake, DDG, Kai Cenat, and 2Rare to take part. According to him, the challenge was inspired by Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla’s “Wanna Be” twerking challenge, but this one’s for the guys, and only confident ones at that.

J Cole Removes His Kendrick Lamar Diss Track “7 Minute Drill From Streaming Services
Over the weekend, J. Cole dropped a surprise new mixtape called Might Delete Later. The project is already proving to live up to its name quicker than fans could have possibly imagined. The tape itself was met with a pretty big shrug from fans and critics as many are still anticipating the next fully realized new album from Cole. Most of the discussion surrounding the record focused on the song “7 Minute Drill” where Cole responded to comments Kendrick Lamar made about him and Drake on the Future & Metro Boomin song “Like That.”
The song was roundly rejected by hip-hop fans for its weak disses and it didn’t take long for Cole to try and backtrack. Just a few days after the album dropped he took the opportunity during his Dreamville festival to apologize for the diss track. Now he’s gone another step further and removed it from the mixtape on streaming services. The closing track to the record is now greyed out on Spotify and unavailable on Apple Music. It had been the most-streamed song on the album on both platforms up to this point. Check out the fan reactions to Cole removing the song below.
