50 Cent has publicly reached out to J. Cole after he apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar — and according to Fif, it’s a matter of urgency.
News reached the G-Unit general on Monday (April 8) about Cole’s controversial apology to Kendrick live on stage at Dreamville Festival, and he did not appear to be happy at the idea of another rapper backing down from a feud.

Alongside a screenshot of the North Carolina native’s comments, 50 wrote on Instagram: “WTF how I miss this, @realcoleworld call my phone [phone emoji] right now!”

It is not currently known if the two have actually talked, but there has been much online chatter about what 50 Cent would make of J. Cole’s olive branch given his own history of rap beef with the likes of Ja Rule, The Game, Diddy and Rick Ross.
One fan wrote in a viral post on X: “50 Cent didn’t snatch Ja Rule’s chain, jump Gunplay, have a shootout with Game in front of Hot 97, leave dead rats at Jimmy Henchmen’s door step, black Fredro Star’s eye, & brought Rick Ross kids shopping with Floyd for J Cole to apologize to Kendrick for a mid diss track.”

In his much talked about apology, Cole walked back his shots at Kendrick Lamar on “7 Minute Drill,” the closing track from his surprise new mixtape Might Delete Later.
“I was conflicted because: one, I know my heart and I know how I feel about my peers. These two n-ggas that I just been blessed to even stand beside in this game, let alone chase they greatness,” he said, referring to his “Big Three” contemporaries K. Dot and Drake.
“So I felt conflicted ’cause I’m like, bruh, I don’t even feel no way. But the world wanna see blood. I don’t know if y’all can feel that, but the world wanna see blood.”
Cole went on to praise Kendrick, saying: “That shit disrupts my fucking peace. 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-gga’s fucking catalog and his greatness, I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherfuckers to ever touch a fucking microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”

He continued: “I just want to come up here and publicly be like, bruh, that was the lamest, goofiest shit. I say all that to say it made me feel like 10 years ago when I was moving incorrectly. And I pray that God will line me back up on my purpose and on my path. I pray that my n-gga really didn’t feel no way and if he did, my n-gga, I got my chin out. Take your best shot. I’ma take that shit on the chin, boy. Do what you do.”
Cole also said he plans to remove “7 Minute Drill” from streaming services but the song remains available on Spotify and Apple Music as of this writing.

The track came in response to Kendrick’s blistering verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” on which he took aim at both Drake and Cole.
