Cole Tremendous Bowl industrial with no SZA music to put it aside,” Ye continued, presumably referring to Lamar and the High Dawg Leisure songstress’ stay rendition of “luther” and “All The Stars” at February’s Massive Sport.
“Nobody listens to J. Cole after [losing] their virginity,” in keeping with Ye, who later introduced up a dialog he and Drake had whereas engaged on 2021’s Donda: “Many of the [conversation] was me telling him he was hurting Hip Hop by giving J. Cole a platform, and I used to be saying how a lot I cherished Future.”
Why Does Ye Dislike J. Cole So A lot?

“I don’t hearken to J. Cole, so I wouldn’t even know. I simply heard he had a music known as ‘False [Prophets],’ and someone advised me it was midway about me,” Ye defined to Justin Laboy throughout the debut episode of “The Obtain.”

J. Cole, who’s arguably one of the crucial universally favored rappers regardless of Ye’s claims, hasn’t publicly responded to the diss.
