J. Cole may have reignited a once-dormant beef when he dropped his new track Middle Child on Wednesday.
Back in December 2016, J. Cole dropped False Prophets, another song that may have been taking aim at the now 41-year-old.Just put the Rollie right back on my wrist / This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift,' raps Cole in the song's first verse, before referring to himself and Drake as 'legends.' It's the repping of Aubrey Graham that may have first had fans wondering if Middle Child was indeed a diss track - as the Hotline Bling singer has been in an on-going feud with Kanye. But it wasn't until the next set of bars that Cole seemingly took aim at the Yeezus creator.
'But I'd never beef with a n**** for nothin', ' begins the next line.
'If I smoke a rapper, it's gon' be legit / It won't be for clout, it won't be for fame / It won't be 'cause my shit ain't sellin' the same.
'It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers / It won't be 'cause some n**** slid in my lane.'
Back in 2016, fans also thought J. Cole had taken aim at Kanye on his track False Prophets.
The Work Out rapper never directly said if the track was dissing the husband of Kim Kardashian.
Cole remarked on the song in a New York Times interview: 'Rappers rap about other rappers all the time — subliminal insult, direct attack — but rarely from a place of love. “That speaks to the state of us as a people,” he said.
'“For so long my mind state was, I have to show how much better than the next man I am through these bars. Who’s the best? Let me prove it.
'And it’s just like, damn, I’m really feeding into a cycle of keeping black people down, I’m really feeding into that.”'
But it seems Cole may have had a change of heart and may be taking sides in the Kanye-Drake feud.
