J. Cole has appeared to add fuel to the fire of a Hip Hop civil war by subliminally dissing Future on his surprise new mixtape Might Delete Later.
On the song “Crocodile Tearz,” which was previously previewed in a Smack DVD-inspired vlog, Cole seemingly takes a shot at the Atlanta rap kingpin.

“Yes, sir, it’s me, not two, not three/ The uno, G-O-A-T, I need my fee, fuck kudos/ G4 at least, these flights ain’t cheap as you know/ They sound faded, they downgraded, they Pluto/ I’m bigger than Mars, this nigga a star, I’m Bruno,” he raps over hard-hitting trap production.
While “Pluto” is clearly a part of his planetary rhyme scheme, it’s also Future’s nickname, while the “faded” line could be a dig at his drugged-out music.
Since the release of Future and Metro Boomin‘s joint album We Don’t Trust You late last month, the Hip Hop world appears to be splitting into two camps.
On one side is Drake and J. Cole, and on the other is Future, Metro, Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross on the other.

The schism was sparked by Kendrick’s scathing guest verse on “Like That,” which contained shots at both Drizzy and Cole, while Future was also thought to be dissing the 6 God on the same project.
Cole has since responded to Kendrick on “7 Minute Drill,” a fiery diss song that closes out Might Delete Later and finds him channeling JAY-Z‘s famous “Takeover” diss at Nas.
Rick Ross, who was a guest artist on the album, appears to have sided with Hendrix, K. Dot and Metro, despite his long working relationship with Drake.
After unfollowing his “Lord Knows” collaborator on Instagram following the release of We Don’t Trust You, the MMG mogul curiously filmed himself listening to Kendrick’s diss song while riding around in one of his many luxury cars.

That came after Ross’ ex-girlfriend received tickets to a Drake show seemingly from the rapper’s team, which was possibly in response to the social media slight.
Future and Kendrick have yet to respond to the shots from J. Cole on his new mixtape, although Drake has seemingly aimed a few choice words at the pair.
