Rap superstar J Cole just dropped one of the coldest diss tracks of the year. Earlier this week, Media Take Out confirmed that J Cole dissed Kendrick in his new album, entitled Might Delete Later.

J. Cole is facing backlash for a reported transphobic lyric on “Pi” from his new project Might Delete Later.
