J Cole Fans In Shambles After He Apologized To Kendrick Lamar At Dreamville Festival

by

Social media has been ablaze with discussion after J Cole shockingly apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar during a pause in his headlining set at Dreamville Festival on Sunday night. During the speech, Cole admitted that his “7 Minute Drill” diss is “the lamest sh*t I ever did in my f*cking life,” and praised Lamar as one of the best rappers ever. The comments come after two days of Cole and Lamar’s fanbases feuding online.

“J Cole said he wanted all the smoke on every verse but as soon as that smoke came he tapped out,” one fan wrote afterward. “This has to be one of the most embarrassing moments in rap I’ve ever seen. It just goes to show that a lot of these rappers actually want things to stay at subliminals and empty threats because it’s convenient for them. As soon as it gets direct it’s like ‘woah woah i thought we were just acting here?’”

Other fans did come to Cole’s defense. One user wrote: “J Cole apologizing was some real friendship sh*t. I understand we want Hip Hop beef and diss tracks but let’s not act like it could get ugly behind the scenes. J Cole never been that guy looking for smoke. He’s always been the type to give ppl their flowers and spread love.” In response to that, another fan argued: “That’s fine and all but he shoulda realized that before he put the track out.”

While Cole put his issues with Lamar to rest, Drake has still yet to comment on the beef. Many fans are holding out hope that he might have something in store for the Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers rapper.

J Cole’s Kendrick Lamar Apology: Reason & Punch From TDE React

by

Just a few days ago, J Cole shocked the hip-hop world by dropping off a new project called Might Delete Later. This new project just so happened to contain a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar, called “7 Minute Drill.” Overall, the diss track contained mixed reviews. Many felt it was weak, while others thought it was a good way of scrutinizing Kendrick’s body of work. However, Cole has undone his diss. On Sunday night at Dreamville Festival, Cole offered an apology to Kendrick. As it turns out, writing the diss track had him feeling awful.

“I’m so proud of that project except for one part,” Cole said. “There’s one part of that sh*t that makes me feel like, ‘Man, that’s the lamest sh*t I ever did in my f*cking life.’ And, I know this is not what a lot of people wanna hear. I can hear my n****s up there right now like, ‘Nah, don’t do that.’ But, I gotta keep it 100 with y’all. I damn near had a relapse.” This prompted reactions from TDE members such as Punch and Reason. As you can see, they weren’t so amused.

Punch took to Twitter where he simply wrote “lol.” Meanwhile, Reason said “idk man, i just…idk.” This is in line with how many other hip-hop fans are thinking right now. At the end of the day, Cole probably should have just stood on his diss track. Instead, we got an apology that could very well be legacy-threatening. Only time will tell how long it takes before fans forget that this ever happened.

Let us know what you think of the J Cole apology, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this was a big mistake from Cole? Do you think the rap world is actually that scared of Kendrick Lamar? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

JPEGMAFIA Offers Apology To Fans For His “Negative Energy” In 2024

by

JPEGMAFIA had quite a combative and hectic start to his 2024, as his unabashed rants and callouts resulted in quite the rollercoaster. Starting things off, he blasted Ye for not reaching out to work with him despite his willingness to collaborate with what Peggy views as lesser artists. While this eventually landed the Baltimore creative a couple of production credits on VULTURES 1, it also resulted in scathing shots against Freddie Gibbs, another VULTURES 1 collaborator. Their beef, plus his cosign of the Yeezy mogul despite his antisemitic and problematic behavior, got him in some heat with fans and led to many back-and-forth exchanges with them on Twitter.

However, on Thursday (April 4), JPEGMAFIA offered an apology to his fans on the social media platform for his confrontational energy in 2024 so far, promising better things to come. “I would like to apologise; for the negative energy I’ve had this year,” he expressed. “I was acting irresponsibly before, and thats not what I am about. When I get frustrated at one thing or person. Sometimes, I act out in a way that isn’t right.

“Even if i feel and know that i am in the right,” JPEGMAFIA went on in his series of tweets. “Im sorry for projecting that energy onto my fans that i love. I’ve refocused & i have been nonstop working on my album for you & i hope you all love it. & Even if you don’t, I’m happy knowing that my fans understand I put real work into everything. And Just to be clear, Im apologizing to my fans & absolutely no one else.” Responding to a fan asking about when his next album would come out, he had this to say: “soon very soon.”

Peggy’s Apology Continued In Tweet Series

Meanwhile, the Ghost Pop Tape multi-hyphenate might stay quiet in the lead-up to his next move, or new activity will prompt him to return to engaging with fans with relative frequency. In fact, the 34-year-old recently tweeted out some pictures with Lil Tecca, and his caption (“with the vultures”) suggests they might be on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s next effort. Either way, as one of the best artists working today, we’re sure that his next project will be something special in 2024. Whether or not this will include reconciliations or reconsiderations concerning Freddie Gibbs or the Chicago artist is anyone’s guess. For more news and updates on JPEGMAFIA, come back to HNHH.

Keyshia Cole’s Sisters Refuse To Accept O.T. Genasis’ Apology For Dissing Their Late Mother

by

During a stop on The Love Hard Tour earlier this week, O.T. Genasis took the opportunity to issue a heartfelt apology to Keyshia Cole onstage. The artists began feuding over her 2005 track “Love” back in 2019, when she admitted she didn’t appreciate him covering it without permission. At the time, he fired back with full force, going after both Cole and her mother Frankie Lons. He shared a photo of Lons’ mugshot online and alleged that he once sold her crack. In 2021, Lons died of an accidental overdose on her 61st birthday.

“I want to tell you I’m sorry,” O.T. Genasis told Cole onstage. “And when I met this woman, she is the sweetest, one of the greatest personalities, the greatest sense of humor, she’s really sent from God. She got a very, very, very good soul.”

While Cole appeared to appreciate Genasis’ kind words, her sisters Elite Noel and Neffe weren’t so impressed. They quickly hopped online to make it clear that he was not forgiven until apologizing to everyone involved, including their late mother. “H** go kiss my mama grave then you can be [forgiven],” Elite Noel wrote in an Instagram Story. “This n***a tried to do my big sister neffe so bad @therealneffeteria for simply defending my mom! Sh*t so fake! H** n***a apologize to everybody p***y.” Neffe later shared Elite Noel’s post on her own story.

Keyshia Cole clarified on her own page that she stands by her sisters’ rights to their own feelings. “They’re entitled to feel that way,” she explained. “I chose differently with forgiveness… It all happened publicly so he apologized publicly.” What do you think of O.T. Genasis apologizing to Keyshia Cole onstage? What about her sisters’ reactions to the apology? Do you think he should be forgiven or not?

O.T. Genasis took the time to apologize to Keyshia Cole during the latest stop on The Love Hard Tour, following their recent feud. In doing so, he admitted he was in the wrong and described her as one of “the sweetest” and “greatest personalities.” The disagreement between the two stemmed from Genasis covering her 2005 song, “Love,” without permission.

“We was kinda going at it at one point, and listen, it was me,” Genasis began. “I just want to sit here today, I want to tell you I apologize to you…” From there, Cole joked: “I did call you a Ninja Turtle.” Genasis continued: “I want to tell you I’m sorry. And when I met this woman, she is the sweetest, one of the greatest personalities, the greatest sense of humor, she’s really sent from God. She got a very, very, very good soul.”

Elsewhere during the performance in Los Angeles, Cole announced that she’s working on a new studio album while paying tribute to her late mother, Frankie Lons. It will be her first project since her mother’s death. “I’m wanna say I appreciate you. If you ever bought an album,” she said. “Album eight right now on the way. I wanna give a shout out to my mom Frankie. If you watched the reality show, if you watched her: I just wanna say thank you. You helped change my life. Thank you.” She then broke into a performance of “I’ve Changed.”

by

It’s been an undoubtedly busy few weeks for Ray J, and it doesn’t look like the performer’s life will be getting any less hectic anytime soon. Last month, for one, it was revealed that Princess Love filed for a divorce. In a joint statement, the former couple suggested the split was a mutual but “difficult” decision. Fortunately for Princess Love, however, it doesn’t look like she’ll be single for long. Recently, she was spotted out and about with actor John Boyega, and their body language left fans speculating that they’re an item.

While one might expect Ray J to feel some type of way about Princess Love’s alleged new man, he seems to be nothing but supportive. During a recent appearance on Way Up With Angela Yee, he reacted to the dating rumors, appearing fond of his ex’s possible next partner. “Oh that’s cool. I like him,” he said. “You don’t want to be with that dude. He seems like a good dude.”

Kanye West Explains How Adin Ross Was Forced To Apologize To Him

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign found themselves at Rolling Loud on Thursday night. Overall, the performance was a bit underwhelming. They didn’t really perform as much as they just kind of listened to their own songs. Although some fans had a blast, others did not. Either way, Vultures 2 is on the way, and to celebrate, Ye and Ty had an interview with Big Boy. Big Boy is a legend, so it makes sense that Ye would give the man an exclusive. As you have probably seen already, the quotes coming out of this interview are wild.

For instance, Ye spoke about how he wanted to have a threesome with Nicki Minaj and Amber Rose. Whether or not that is actually true, remains to be seen. However, there were certainly plenty of other interesting moments to dissect. For instance, there was one point where Ye was talking about one of his infamous rants about telling everyone “f*ck you.” One person who was included in this was Adin Ross, who previously said he couldn’t support Kanye anymore. As Ye revealed, getting an apology from Adin was huge.

Ross is a pretty young kid still and isn’t exactly strong in his convictions. Consequently, it is easy to see why the young man might decide to retract the criticism centered at his idol. In fact, we’re sure he was over the moon about Ye mentioning him in an interview. The kid has made it big in the streaming world, and is even getting the attention of legendary artists. Now, we just need Ye to scam him live on stream, just like Playboi Carti and 21 Savage did.
