The real beef has always been Kendrick versus J. Cole, they have been dissing each other for the past 11 years only one who is extremely direct, but they are literally responding back to each other, but everyone always just tries to go. We hope Drake is the one who responds, J Cole had the same response to the control verse in an interview that Drake had but J. Cole actually made a whole song about it on 4 Hills Dr., but everything J. Cole says get swept under the rug, Kendrick was talking to J. Cole on that song and tell Drake all your dogs are getting buried Big Sean and J Cole. The actual beef is with J. Cole from the last four years. It has gone away from friendly competition let’s go, who do you think J Cole was talking to On The Benny the Butcher feature on the song with Lil Yachty or on the I might delete later
