Lil Yachty recently had a sit-down with J. Cole on his "The Safe Place Podcast," where he spoke about scoring his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 of his career on Drake's "First Person Shooter."
During the sit-down, Cole admitted that he was thankful and grateful, but he added, "It went No. 1, but if it went No. 2, I wouldn’t have felt no way. If the other song would’ve went No. 1, it’s like, ‘Bruh, I’m cool.’ I almost feel better not having my first No. 1 be off a Drake alley-oop."
Cole then clarified, "I love Drake and I love that I’m a part of that moment with him, with Michael Jackson. I’m grateful to be a part of it, but if the other song would’ve went No. 1, n****, I’m still grateful I’m a part of it. I wasn’t at home like, ‘Come on, y’all! Pick up the streams, man! We gotta beat this motherf***er Yeat!’ I wasn’t doing that."
