In case you missed it, J. Cole returned to Twitter to make waves with the release of a new song that is perking up a lot of conspiracy theorist's ears; and for good reason.
In the new song, titled "Middle Child" which is also produced by T-Minus, it's a little murky to decide exactly who Cole is aiming at, but the following lines lead you to believe that Cole is aiming for a certain somebody who was going for Drake's head last year; Pusha T. Hear the following lines, and you might understand why; "This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift, back when the rap game was praying I'd diss, they act like two legends cannot coexist, but I'd never beef with a n***a for nothin, if I smoke a rapper it's gone be legit, It won't be for clout, it won't be for fame, it won't be cuz my shit ain't sellin the same, it won't be to sell my latest lil' sneakers, it won't be cuz some n***a slid in my lane", etc.
Now some lines in the song lead many to believe that Cole is threatening Pusha based off of those lines; most likely because after Pusha T and Drake's beef, (which resulted in 2 disses from each of the respective rappers) Pusha T went on a press run to promote his highly praised album released in May, Daytona, doing multiple interviews and podcasts after the fact discussing Drake and Kanye West, as well as the album, which included an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast.
Cole's song also comes in weird timing, a mere day after Pusha T tweeted "You tried, you failed... I'm hearing you wanna try again, this time I'm not gonna play with you. Any of you." That tweet can be found here.
What do you guys think? Is Cole taking Drake's side in a battle against Pusha T and the "losing his mind a little harder every day" Kanye West? Cole has been known to take what were perceived as shots at Kanye before, the last time being on his 2016 song "False Prophets". If this rumor is true, it would be a huge move for Cole to take Drake's side in a battle that left a lot of feelings hurt, and a lot of people feeling betrayed last year. As Cole said in his newest song, "if I smoke a rapper it's gone be legit", and it's pretty hard not to believe him considering his past fearlessness of going at top tier rappers' heads. Stay tuned for more Cole & Drake vs. Pusha & Kanye beef, and check out the link below to hear Cole's new song, which is rumored to be the first offering off of Cole's highly anticipated 3rd Dreamville collaboration album, Revenge Of The Dreamers 3.
