Kanye West Fires Shots at J.Cole Over Kendrick Lamar Diss
Famous Hip-Hop Artist, Kanye West, Initiates Verbal Jousting Against J.Cole
In the ever-evolving realm of Hip-Hop, fans are awaiting Kendrick Lamar’s come back after Drake’s multiple diss tracks. Interestingly, Kanye West has stepped up to plate, directing harsh words towards J. Cole. The cause of the contention was J.Cole’s decision to step back from the situation and his subsequent apology for contributing to the feud earlier.
Kanye’s Unexpected Reaction to J.Cole’s Pacifism
As reported by The Download podcast during a conversation with Justin LaBoy, a conversation about J.Cole’s much-publicized apology to Kendrick Lamar over his track ‘7 Minute Drill’ quickly escalated. Kanye’s sudden retort of ‘F*ck all that p*ssy sh*t’ caught LaBoy noticeably off guard, but that did not hinder Kanye from diving deeper. Kanye held nothing back about J.Cole’s recent alliance with Drake during an ongoing feud, noting that this isn’t a situation he can escape from now.
Kanye’s animosity towards J.Cole seems to stem from the track ‘False Prophets’, which the rapper confessed he falsely called ‘False Idols’. Interestingly, Kanye revealed that someone informed him the song was somewhat centered around him. In light of this, Kanye has admitted to avoiding J.Cole’s music and it is now clear why J. Cole has landed on Kanye’s infamous list of opponents.
Awaiting the Potential Musical War
Although J. Cole allegedly targeted Kanye with some veiled references in his 2016 track ‘False Prophets’, it remains uncertain whether the apologetic J. Cole of 2024 has a counter-attack ready for Kanye. Meanwhile, Kanye appears prepared for any impending volley. While this drama is unfolding, it seems likely that Drake will soon respond to Kanye’s harsh markers on the ‘Like That’ remix. Fans would be disappointed to see Drake resort to leveraging the likeness of others like Jay-Z in this response.
Off-Topic Confessions
On an unrelated note, during the same interview, Kanye surprised his audience with a fantastically improbable aspiration, desiring a threesome with Michelle Obama.

DPH Hot take:
As a platform committed to hip-hop and pop music culture analysis, DPH appreciates the expressions of personal sentiments and disputes through song. However, we believe in responsible discourse where artists can express themselves without resorting to harsh language or mudslinging. The hip-pop scene, enriched with creativity and passion, is more than just the score-keeping of feuds. While Kanye West has publicly aired his grievances, each artist’s next steps will likely shape the narrative of future discourse. Will this bring more exciting musical battlefields, or will it lead to a genuine elevation of the genre? Only time will tell.
