Drake fans are losing it on social media, claiming J. Cole switched sides for appearing on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You cut, “Red Leather.”
The second installment of their joint album series arrived at midnight on Friday (April 12). Their first offering caused shockwaves in the Hip-Hop community and kicked off weeks of debate.
Kendrick Lamar declared lyrical war on Drake and Cole on the project. He “M######### the big three / it’s just big me,” on “Like That.” Fans also speculated that the album’s title track seeks Future diss Drake.
Cole fired back on “7 Minute Drill,” before dramatically walking back his diss and apologizing to Lamar causing uproar and intense debate among fans.
However, Cole, who just wrapped his joint tour with the Canadian megastar, doubled down on “Red Leather,” sparking backlash from Drake fans.
“My energy was never on some toughest n#### s### / I was just a conscious rapper who would f### a n#### b####…blicks get to blasting / I turn into a track star,” Cole raps on the track.
In addition, listeners believe A$AP Rocky also got in on the action, dissing Drake over Rihanna on “Show of Hands.”
“We Still Don’t Trust You” trended No. 1 on X (formerly Twitter), alongside “Red Leather” and “Rocky,” after the album dropped as fans shared their reactions.
Meanwhile, Drizzy and KDot are rumored to be readying “nuclear” diss tracks. Perhaps Drake might have a few words for Cole’s retraction and appearance on “Red Leather.”
Check out some of the reactions to the latest round of the rap drama below.
