See the first reactions to J. Cole’s new song about Drake & Kendrick Lamar

As a seasoned gamer of hip-hop, I must say that J. Cole’s latest drop, “Port Antonio,” has certainly stirred up some interesting conversations among the community. Having witnessed the evolution of both Cole and Kendrick Lamar over the years, their exchange feels like a nostalgic throwback to the days of epic rap battles that captivated us all.


Currently, J. Cole is generating a lot of online excitement following the release of his latest track, “Port Antonio,” last night. In this song, he explains the reasons behind his apology to Kendrick Lamar during their supposed feud. Kendrick had taken a jab at Cole in Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” and Cole responded with “7 Minute Drill.” In “Port Antonio,” Cole admits that he ended the alleged battle because he felt it was going to escalate into something unpleasant.

In simpler terms, the lyrics suggest that Cole stopped participating because he could see where things were headed, which wasn’t favorable. They were demanding conflict and views to increase their earnings, but he felt it wouldn’t just be a battle lost, but potentially damaging a relationship or gaining an enemy instead. This is expressed in his rap on the latest track.

He also clarified that he wasn’t taking sides against Drake when he apologized to Kendrick. Instead, he expressed his loyalty to Drake by saying, “Don’t you accuse me of anything, my friend / Starting another conflict isn’t what I desire / Drake, you’ll always be my friend / I’m not ashamed to admit all the help you’ve given me, my friend / Ignore all the rumors / Reconnecting with your creative genius is essential.” This is how Cole put it.

Many individuals highly complimented the song. Furthermore, a few acknowledged Cole for stepping down from the contest and opting for peace instead.

One user posted on Instagram: “I’m here for the MUSIC…not for the conflict.

It’s yet unclear if “Port Antonio” will serve as a prelude to Cole’s upcoming album The Fall Off. Nevertheless, it appears that this track is exactly what his supporters have been anticipating – insights into the reasons behind his departure from the fray.
