Rumors flew about Ab-Soul dissing J. Cole on his new track ‘Squeeze 1st 2’, causing quite a stir among fans.
- The song’s lyrics were thought to reference Cole’s brief clash with Kendrick Lamar, a former TDE member.
- Speculations grew when Cole featured Soul on ‘Pi’, sparking theories of retaliatory lyrics.
- TDE President Punch quashed the rumors, explaining the verses were recorded before the alleged beef.
- Ab-Soul seems more focused on his creative expression rather than igniting beef with Cole.
It all started when fans examined Ab-Soul’s lyrics in ‘Squeeze 1st 2,’ believing they were aimed at J. Cole. The line referencing ‘Metasota’ and forfeiting fueled this fire of speculation.
Many linked the lyrics to J. Cole’s previous feud with Kendrick Lamar, further deepening the gossip pool. The timing of Cole’s track ‘Port Antonio’ added to the intrigue.
Amidst the buzz, Punch, the president of TDE, stepped in on social media to set the record straight. He assured fans that the verses interpreted as diss tracks were recorded well before any beef supposedly began.
Punch also touched on a common theme in hip-hop, where rappers claim supremacy without specifically targeting others. This was said to be the case with Ab-Soul’s verses.
Adding another layer to the story, Ab-Soul seemingly took a jab at OVO Chubbs, a close associate of Drake, during a freestyle session. This, too, was part of the broader narrative of lyrical genius at play.
Despite the buzz, Ab-Soul’s raps aren’t adding fuel to any feud with J. Cole.
