Benny The Butcher Addresses J Cole Diss Rumors On New Album

by

Corny rap fans only have two ways of looking at a relationship between two MCs: they should either be best friends dropping a joint album or dissing each other on wax for sport. It’s a pretty reductive way of looking at artistry and collaboration, especially in today’s hip-hop climate that has some really salient examples of both extreme outcomes, but is mostly filled with friendly or distant competition on smaller scales. But a lot of times, these corny rap fans are right on the money with their thirst for beef… Did they get it right this time around? Well, Benny The Butcher himself finally has an answer on his new album, Summertime Butch.

For those unaware, there’s been some fan rumblings for some time now that J. Cole sneak dissed Benny on their “Johnny P’s Caddy” collab off the Black Soprano Family boss’ 2022 album, Tana Talk 4. Even some media figures like Math Hoffa speculated on this idea, taking incredibly competitive and flag-planting verses from each lyricist to their logical extremes. It’s similar to the conversation that once dominated Kendrick Lamar’s feature on Big Sean’s “Control,” as less knowledgeable fans (and rappers…) misrepresented K.Dot’s competitive invitation as outright disrespect. On the track “The Blue Building,” Benny The Butcher finally spoke on these rumors.

Benny The Butcher’s “The Blue Building”: Listen

“Trolls tell me I got dissed by Cole on my record,” Benny The Butcher raps on the cut. “I’m like, ‘Is y’all slow?’ That’s my n***a / We having hour-long conversations from home / I’m picking his brain on my way to the throne, I ain’t no dumb n***a / I ain’t get here focusing on figures alone, I played more of the distributor role / He told me, ‘Butch, if you see yourself winning, you got a vision to throw.’”

So there you have it, fans: you don’t have to worry about Benny The Butcher and J. Cole trading bars anytime soon. In other Butch news, he recently gave due flowers to another killer spitter: Lloyd Banks. “Lloyd Banks, one of the top n***as ever,” the Buffalo native shared on Instagram. “That’s one rap n***a that n***as don’t wanna play with, He got a million lines. You be like, ‘How the f**k I didn’t think of that?’”

Has Drake Responded To Megan Thee Stallion? Fans Wait On Rapper’s Response To “Hiss”

by

The world is still reacting to the beef-filled “Hiss”, Megan Thee Stallion’s fiery new track released this week but one person yet to respond is Drake. Megan took aim at the Canadian rapper and long-time friend of Tory Lanez. “These n-ggas hate on BBLs and be walkin’ ’round with the same scars (Ah)/ Real curvy, no edgin’, n*ggas fight to get in my section (My section),” Megan rapped, seemingly in reference to Drake. However, Drake has remained silent for the moment. This is somewhat surprising, given that For All The Dogs was full of Drizzy airing out beef. Despite his silence, fans are eager to see how, and if, Drake will respond.

“People are asking how Nicki is going to respond but I’m more curious about how BBL, etched abs, accent switching, Bad bitch Drake is going to respond,” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “If Drake “fires back” he’s simply confirming the BBL allegations,” argued another. But some fans felt that they would have to wait. “Drake is very predictable with his disses he’s gonna wait until later this year to release a mid 20 track album just so he can sneak diss and throw subs in track 2,” theorized one person. When do you think Drake will respond? Let us know in the comments.

Fans Bring Tyrese Haliburton Into Yasiin Bey’s Beef With Drake

Of course, Megan isn’t the only beef that Drake has got going on at the moment. Fans online have compared a recent image of Tyrese Haliburton in a flat cap and puffer jacket to the signature fashion of Yasiin Bey. However, more specifically, fans have used the candid photos to reference Bey’s ongoing beef with Drake. “Mos Def hearing “Passionfruit” in Target,” one person wrote on X over a photo of Haliburton appearing to protest a call at a recent Pacers game.

The comments are a hilarious addition to the feud between the two rappers. Bey recently said that Drake’s music is the sort of music that’s perfect for a Target run. Obviously, Drizzy, who is also beefing with Metro Boomin, didn’t take too kindly to the comments from the rapper and actor. And now one of the NBA’s biggest rising stars is catching heat just for having a nice sideline fit. Haliburton, who is likely set to be named an All-Star this week, is currently nursing a hamstring injury.
