Daylyt shares details of convo with J. Cole after Kendrick Lamar diss.
Daylyt recently made an appearance on TDE affiliate Mackwop’s livestream, where he talked about his conversation with J. Cole after the rapper dropped the Kendrick Lamar diss track “7 Minute Drill” before issuing an apology.
“So right before, I went to talk to Cole and we was chopping it up about everything,” he began. “He was telling me personally, ‘It ain’t sitting right with me. Me and Dot cool, we way cool outside of this music.’ It’s like slap boxing… we slap box and you hit me to hard and when the fits start flying, it’s a fade. So that’s kind of how he looked at it.”
“He’s like, ‘I don’t want it to end up something that I don’t want it to be. I just feel like I shouldn’t have jumped out there like that. All he said was, ‘Big three is just me.’ I ain’t have to do a whole song. I could have just kind of been a little subliminal right back.’”
He continued: “So I told him, ‘If it’s not sitting right, then it’s up for it. Get that energy out of here.’ I told him that on some man to man shit. And I ain’t gon’ lie, it was bothering him. And people like to twist shit so I’ma clear it – it ain’t like he was scared to rap. But the next day [he retracted it]. I ain’t think he was gonna take it to the stage like that, though. [But I commend him] for that.”
J. Cole recently released a new song “Port Antonio“, where he addressed backing out of the beef earlier this year. “I pulled the plug because I seen where that was ’bout to go / They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow / They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke / I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro / I woulda gained a foe.”
