Joe Budden and Nicki Minaj gives props to J. Cole for his feature run.
J. Cole has been outrapping other artists in the past couple of years with his incredible feature run, and he also did the same to Nicki Minaj on “Pink Friday 2“, as per the Queen herself.
Nicki Minaj recently sat down with Joe Budden as part of the promo run for her new album, where Budden asks about the J. Cole collab “Let Me Calm Down”. “He’s [J. Cole] been on a rampage, he’s been tearing ni–as up, he didn’t do it to you though,” says Budden.
“yes he did,” responds Minaj. “I’m just telling you he didn, absolutely f–kin ridiculous. I want the person to be the best, I want the person to give me the best verse. Like That made me know that he respected me, and cared about my project.”

During the release of the project, Minaj revealed that Cole’s verse made her cry. “This man J. Cole had a 2 hour talk with me. 2. Two!!!! Didn’t realize I was sitting on a therapist couch but ummm 2 days later I heard this verse & couldn’t stop crying,” she wrote at the time.
She continued, “In a world where we know EXACTLY how & WHEN to tear each other apart, there are still Kings & Queens who know how to put ppl back together. Patch them up. Heal them. Empower them. Understand them. Listen to them. Make them do the most beautiful thing a human being can do.”
