J. Cole is getting obliterated by Drake fans for doing a song with A$AP Rocky

by

As a longtime hip-hop enthusiast with a knapsack full of memories from the golden age of rap, I find myself perplexed by the current state of affairs among our beloved artists and their fans. The constant bickering and beef on social media has become as predictable as a sunrise, and it’s a far cry from the camaraderie and mutual respect that once thrived in the scene.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice how dynamic rap music is, constantly evolving with its unique sounds and patterns. One striking transformation I’ve observed is the increase in online rivalries among artists’ supporters on social media. Nowadays, it seems supporting an artist isn’t just about cheering them on; there’s a growing tendency for fans to engage in heated debates with supporters of other rappers.

Earlier this year, it became evident that there’s a strong rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar when they faced off, as their fans continue to argue about it even now. However, the reaction was intense when A$AP Rocky released his new single “Ruby Rosary,” featuring J. Cole, and produced by The Alchemist, on September 6th.

Essentially, Drake’s supporters criticized Cole for collaborating with him due to the fact that they believed he had a close bond with Drake, who is engaged in a feud with Rocky. On the song “Family Matters,” Drake criticized Rocky, and he also threw jabs at Drake on “Show of Hands” and “Highjack.

Fans are upset with Cole due to the perception that Rocky has once more taken aim at Drake in his track “Ruby Rosary”. In the lyrics, Rocky appears to refer to Drake’s diss song “Push Ups” by saying, “N***a want smoke with me, tell him, ‘Push up, Hercules’ / Hercules, tell him push up, tell him pull up, 33,” hinting at their ongoing dispute.

Rocky is also being charged with attacking Drake through these lyrics: “Who challenged me to die? You’re a walking corpse, barely living / Slash everything except the family bonds / Cut the nonsense, cut the deceit, in accordance with wise words / Who makes your list of five? / Disregard your top five / I don’t act fresh to the grave, bitch, I’m already buried alive / I heard a strange sound from you, like it’s Family Guy.

I must admit, I’ve found myself in the midst of a heated discussion among fellow Drake enthusiasts lately. The reason? J. Cole’s recent collaboration on a track that features bars some interpret as indirect jabs at Drake, even though he hasn’t explicitly dissed him. This has led to a wave of comments labeling Cole a ‘traitor’, which I find intriguing given the nuanced nature of their lyrics. Here are a few examples: [insert examples of comments]. It’s fascinating to see such passion and interpretation among fans!

Without a doubt, Cole’s next album is eagerly anticipated by many, given that he withdrew from his contest with Kendrick Lamar this year. It’s possible that he might discuss this withdrawal and potentially respond to the emerging storyline suggesting he may have betrayed Drake.
