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.”
