Kanye West and Drake&#039;s beef is common knowledge. But there is another rapper with whom Ye has exchanged blows with: J Cole.

Kanye West vs J Cole: Timeline of the Beef Explained

Kanye West and his timeless feuds with almost every celebrity on the planet have
always made it to the news headlines. Be it Taylor Swift or Pete Davidson or
Ryan Reynolds, all of them had their share of picking up controversies with the
rapper. However, when we think of Kanye West against some Hollywood star, it is
usually Drake.

There is one artist that throws just as many shots as Drake would be, and it is
none other than J Cole. The history of this battle has always stayed on top,
despite others coming ahead of it. There have been timeless encounters that
Kanye and J Cole have had throughout their careers. Here is b(ri)eef detail
about everything that took place in the past between the two stars.

J COLE AND KANYE WEST STARTED OFF AS AN ASPIRING RAPPER AND AN IDOL,
RESPECTIVELY, BEFORE THE MEDIA

It all started with a classic collaboration
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yUlxfY1yfs] between the two rappers named
Looking For Trouble. Initially, things were on a smooth track toward production.
Their relationship started off pretty well as J Cole took the song to some other
level in the history of rap music. However, little did we know that the singers
took the title a bit too seriously. Although it seemed as if J Cole was a huge
Ye fan some seven years ago, reality went completely parallel to what met the
eye.

The inspiring Rapper who had already walked on the red carpet rapped on a lot of
Kanye’s beats. This includes his earlier mixtape releases, his first sample
workout that seemingly resembled Ye’s music. However, Cole started to get on
with his publicity; he started bearing some inner motives. He eventually started
wishing to pose as a direct competitor to Kanye’s career.


IDOLS TURNING INTO RIVALS

As a result, Cole deliberately strived to release his then-new album on the same
day as Kanye’s release. The star who once considered West his idol abruptly
released his Born Sinner title when Kanye was to unleash his Yeezus album. The
Donda rapper initially bagged first ranks in the charts, outselling the number
of copies Cole had. Although Cole’s album gave him an edge and shot up to #1 on
Billboards, Yeezus returned to his top rank once again. This was apparently the
first cold yet subtle face-off between the two rappers.

J took the shot and went ahead to release an album
[https://music.apple.com/in/album/false-prophets/1445287270?i=1445287571] called
False Prophets, which directly targeted West. In the song, he critically talked
about how Kanye was not the idol he thought he supposedly was. This deliberate
step formed the cracks between the singers vividly visible to the audience.
Although Kanye had not responded to J’s jibes even still, it was just the
silence before the storm, on his social media handles, of course.

THE ENDLESS GAME OF APOLOGIES

Later, Cole went boldly public and talked in an interview about how Kanye always
feels that “J Cole is dissing him.” This marked the moment when Kanye finally
took to Twitter and started off his usual rants. One of them also showed him
having a conversation with Cole over the phone call. J, on the other hand,
completely denied the claims, but he did agree on Angie Martinez’s radio that he
had talked to him with an “apology.”



However, as the world saw it, things had merely started to go quiet when Cole
dropped another shot, Middle Child, on Ye. He once again, with more sincerity
talked about how Kanye was never the person he thought he was in his rap music.
He planned to release it in the middle of the week, where the Dreamville titan
shared his perspective in line lyrics over the star he once admired.

Following this, Kanye made a Twitter post demanding a public apology from Cole.
He also added that he was not going to release any further albums until he gets
what he demanded. Things between the two have almost settled down, as there have
been no further engagements so far.

The tweet also had a shot at Drake, who was very well in perilous waters with
Kanye as J. The scores between them are yet to be settled, as Cole has not
broken the wall of silence ever since Kanye’s demand.
