In a recent twist in the history of hip-hop relationships, Drake may have taken a subtle jab at J. Cole by reposting a tweet suggesting that Jay-Z once ignored Cole’s call. This incident has sparked conversations among fans about the dynamic between these three influential artists.
The post that started it all
On Tuesday, an Instagram account called @plottttwistttttt shared a tweet from 2019 that reported a strange incident in which Cole’s phone was allegedly stolen by a fan. The tweet reads: “Remember when J. Cole got his phone stolen from his pocket by a fan and they called Jay-Z from it but he didn’t answer so they called from their own phone and he answered?”
This tweet has resurfaced, drawing attention to the complicated relationships within the hip-hop community.
Drake’s connection to the post
Although the Instagram account is reportedly owned by Drake, it remains unclear who exactly runs it. This lack of clarity further exacerbates the situation, especially given Drake’s recent activity, including a massive music drop earlier this week.
Changing dynamics in hip-hop
Historically, Drake and J. Cole have maintained a good relationship. However, the landscape changed significantly after Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. After that feud, Cole’s relationship with Kendrick changed the dynamic between him and Drake. Cole was in Future and Metro Boomin’s We still don’t trust youwhile Drake took a few jabs at Cole with tracks like “Push Ups” and “Family Matters.”
Drake’s lyrics speak volumes
In “Push Ups,” Drake rapped, “I don’t care what Cole thinks, that Dot was fucking weak.”
In “Family Matters,” he added, “Cole is losing sleep over this, but it’s not me.”
These lyrics suggest that while Drake has respect for Cole, he isn’t afraid to express his feelings about the ongoing tensions in the industry.
What lies ahead of us?
The resurfacing of this tweet and Drake’s potential criticism of J. Cole raises questions about their future collaboration and friendship. As fans, we can only speculate how these interactions will shape the hip-hop landscape going forward.
