Fat Joe Says J. Cole Messed Up His Legacy With Kendrick Lamar Apology

by Daryl Nelson

Veteran rapper and Hip Hop pundit Fat Joe said J. Cole made a colossal error by apologizing to Kendrick Lamar earlier this year after dissing him on the song "7 Minute Drill."

Joe also brought up his epic beef with 50 Cent to make his point.  [Head to the 1:11:03-mark.]

"I had one of the biggest, most dangerous beefs with 50 Cent, and I was sitting next to him at the game yesterday, having the best time in the world. We’re brothers," said Joe on the Jay Shetty Podcast. "When you’re called out in Hip Hop, you gotta respond. I’m a big fan of J. Cole, but it started from that."

"He probably saw that it could get real messy and real ugly and so he said, 'Yo, you know this ain’t me I don’t want no parts of it,'" he added. "But he definitely got a stripe off … They took a stripe off that because in Hip Hop, when they call you out, you come out."

But many others gave credit to Cole for ducking out of the battle. For one, he avoided all of the mudslinging that took place and two, he should be able to travel freely through L.A. without incident. 

Still, Cole may have angered Drake for ducking out of the beef since they're friends. 

Do you think that's the case?
