J. Cole's feature on Lil Yachty's "The Secret Recipe" led to rumors that Cole was addressing NBA YoungBoy dissing him on "F*** The Industry Pt. 2."
On the track, Cole raps, "N***** makin’ threats and I laugh, that’s ’cause you ain’t a threat /Don’t ask how I feel ’bout no rappers, s***, they okay, I guess/Incomin’ call, press the button, the one that say accept /He FaceTime to ask for a feature and saw the face of death."
While J. Cole's longtime manager denied that the bars were aimed at YoungBoy, on Drake's "First Person Shooter," J. Cole clarified that he still wants to work with NBA YoungBoy.
Cole raps, "N***as so thirsty to put me in beef/ Dissectin’ my words and start lookin’ too deep/ I look at the tweets and start suckin’ my teeth/ I’m lettin’ it rock ’cause I love the mystique/I still wanna get me a song with YB/ Can’t trust everything that you saw on IG/ Just know if I diss you, I made sure you know that I hit you like I’m on your caller ID."
