Rapsody addressed the previous feud between Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, both of whom she’s collaborated with in the past, during an appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast. In doing so, she praised Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and remarked that if it were her in the battle, she would’ve avoided going at Lamar’s discography. Cole labeled the project overrated during his diss track, “7 Minute Drill,” which he’s since removed from streaming services.

“I try not to speak on these things – the whole thoughts, myself, I mean,” Rapsody said. “But, eh. He’s a man. He made his decision. But if I’m just speaking from me? If I’m in that position? I love this – the spirit of what this is, the sport of what this is.” From there, she spoke on To Pimp a Butterfly. “When Cole made his apology, and when he did it, I was like, ‘I would never approach it, going at his discography.’ But the art of war is just…war is war,” she said.

The feud began when Lamar dissed Cole and Drake on Metro Boomin and Future‘s “Like That.” Although Cole responded with “7 Minute Drill,” he apologized for doing so just days later. “That sh*t disrupts my f*cking peace,” he admitted at Dreamville Festival. “So what I want to say right here tonight is in the midst of me doing that, trying to find a little angle and downplay this n***a’s f*cking catalog and his greatness, I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherf*ckers to ever touch a f*cking microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”
