J. Cole has been hopping on a lot of people's records lately, like Lil Durk's "All My Life," Gucci Mane's "There I Go," and Drake's "First Person Shooter."
He spoke about that song being his first number one while on Lil Yachty‘s A Safe Place podcast, and how he wishes that his first chart topper wasn't "off a Drake alley-oop."
Then in that same interview, the North Carolina rhymer spoke about all those features he's been doing and why he doesn't charge artists.
J. Cole doesn't actually charge for features

"Yo, bro, it's just a bar, bro," Cole explained. "Like, a lot of my bars be really on point but that's just a flex. I'm not gonna charge a n*gga $2,000 a word. I don't even charge a n*gga for the verse. I'm doing this sh*t because I'm inspired to do it ... I'm not charging n*ggas because, you know, I want to be on the song. I wouldn't do that."
Does this shock you?
