Soulja Boy calls out J. Cole after he previously stated he didn’t understand the “Crank That” rapper’s music.
Last week, Cole shared during an episode of Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast that he initially had difficulty grasping Soulja’s musical style.
“Around the time Soulja Boy came out, I don’t know how this happened, but I had a realization within myself ’cause I’m hearing that sh*t and I’m like, ‘Man this sh*t, Soulja Boy tell em,'” Cole said.
He added, “Sounds crazy to say now ’cause it’s such a classic to me. But at that time I had resistance. Similar to when you came out and your class came out, I had resistance. ‘Nah that’s not the thing that I love. Like what? Y’all f*cking with this?’ I was one of them. But there was a part of me that had a realization. I was proud of myself for this realization. So I was like ‘Bruh, you a hater. Like, yo you are literally hating. You know you like this sh*t.’”
Shortly after, Soulja responded to Cole’s statement, calling the North Carolina native a “hater.”
“N*gaz always hated on me nothing new. Him and big sean was on some hating sh*t. But f*ck them im still lit,” Soulja wrote. “Aye bruh don’t speak on me @JColeNC I’m not lil pump, drake, or none of these rapper n*ggaz. On God.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cole also touched upon various topics including his first Billboard Hot 100 #1, his connection with Drake, the story of how he crossed paths with Lil Yachty, insights into his upcoming album “The Fall Off,” and even provided some information about the rumored collaborative album with Kendrick Lamar.
