Charlamagne Tha God has weighed in on J. Cole’s “7 Minute Drill,” a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar after members of the rap community dragged the NC rapper.
Charlamagne says he understands why Cole apologized.
“The rap fan in me understands the disappointment many of you feel in Cole. But the man in me who understands that I’m a spiritual being living a human existence has nothing but respect for what J. Cole did. See, so many of us lead with pride and ego nowadays, and we let these idiots on social media, who we don’t even know, peer pressure us to say things and do things that we don’t even wanna do,” he explained.
“It takes a real human to check himself and say, ‘Man, what I’m doing? I don’t believe what I said. I don’t even believe in what I did.’ Apologize and keep it moving. Y’all want a man to attack a man for your entertainment because we are a culture that feeds off conflict. We like to see people at war with each other because we are really at war with ourselves,” he continued, before saluting the rapper for “breaking the cycle.”
J. Cole apologized on stage at Dreamville Fest, calling it the “lamest” thing he’s ever done.
K.Dot has not responded to the apology yet.
