Ye Rants ‘I Hate J. Cole’ & Claims Kendrick Lamar Fans ‘Don’t Know About Rap’

Kanye West said during a livestream that he hates J. Cole and said that Kendrick Lamar fans don't know about rap.

During a livestream on Wednesday (April 30), West claimed he hates Cole’s music and disparaged the Compton rapper along with Lamar’s fans. He previously checked him on 2016’s “False Prophets” and 2019’s “Middle Child,” saying he feels West hasn’t lived up to the billing of his legend status. However, following the repeated shots, Cole took the high road and showed Ye love during his set at Dreamville Fest 2025 in April, where he saluted West for clearing samples for him throughout his decorated career.
