J. Cole and Lil Yachty have joined forces in a musical collaboration that’s making waves with their new track and accompanying music video, “The Secret Recipe.” While details about the project are still pending, you can already feast your eyes on the video below.
This dynamic pairing marks the first time J. Cole and Lil Yachty have worked together on a song, but their history goes back a bit further. Cast your mind back to 2011 and 2012, when a youthful Lil Yachty, at the tender age of 14, took to Twitter to express some rather anti-Cole sentiments. He tweeted gems like, “i just dont like j.cole…. never said he wasnt good,” and the infamous, “FUCKJCOLE.”
Fast forward to 2016, and Lil Yachty found himself in an interview addressing those tweets, saying, “I honestly can’t explain it. I don’t know why. Back in the day, I was heavy on saying, ‘F*** J. Cole.’ I don’t know why. His music is so lyrical—let me clear this up.”
He went on to clarify, “I f*** with J. Cole as a person. I don’t listen to J. Cole. But I have nothing against J. Cole. I was young, and I was just talking s***, trolling. I never thought I was gonna be a rapper.”
Lil Yachty concluded his statement with a diplomatic tone, saying, “I have no issues with J. Cole or his music, and if we ever bump into each other, I don’t want any problems.”
Interestingly, in December 2016, J. Cole dropped the track “Everybody Dies,” featuring lyrics that raised eyebrows across the rap scene:
“Clap at the fake deep rappers
The OG gatekeep rappers
The would-you-take-a-break-please rappers
Bunch of words and ain’t sayin’ s***, I hate these rappers
’Specially the amateur eight-week
