Benny The Butcher has praised J. Cole for backing out of the “big three” beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
During a recent interview with Fight Hype, the Buffalo, New York rapper was asked to share his thoughts on Cole’s divisive apology to K. Dot for dissing him on “7 Minute Drill,” which he later removed from streaming platforms.
“That’s my dog,” he said of the Dreamville founder. “Honestly, you can see how gossipy and everything that this battle’s turned into.
“Do you blame him for not wanting to be a part of this at this moment? Do you blame him? I don’t. I probably would’ve went about it in a different way, but it’s like a gossip battle.
“It’s not like a rap battle, it’s like a telling-each-other’s-business type of thing so I wouldn’t want to be a part of that.”
The feud between Drake and Kendrick has intensified in recent weeks, with both men making scandalous allegations about each other on wax.

Despite his comments, Benny The Butcher has been involved in “gossipy” rap beef himself, most notably with Freddie Gibbs.
The feud began after Gibbs joked about Benny getting shot in the leg, which led to Gibbs being jumped in Buffalo allegedly by Benny’s entourage.
Blows have been landed in various other forms as well, including the Griselda rapper hanging out with Gibbs’ ex-girlfriend, who is also the mother of his child.
Benny The Butcher collaborated with J. Cole on “Johnny P’s Caddy,” from his 2022 album Tana Talk 4 album.
The song was certified gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) in April 2023 and has over 70 million streams on Spotify to date.
Benny crowned Cole the “best rapper alive” during an interview with HipHopDX earlier this year.
“I’ma have to say Cole [is the best rapper alive],” he declared. “Like, right now, fresh in my memory right now. It gotta be that kid there, man. It’s a different aura with him, right?
“He always been a contender but I feel like he’s coming into his own right and standing over it. You know how [Lil] Wayne said he’s claiming it?
“I kinda feel like he’s claiming it right now. And he’s done enough where he could claim it.”
everyone is ashamed and disgusted. i consider kendrick lamar a lower form of life. I can’t listen to any genre of music he perform. rap music is for lower forms of people. it’s clear when the likes of kendrick are the most successful practitioners. Rap is a disease in our community.
You are also a lower form of life
I’ve never laid a hand on woman in anger. Last time I was in a physical fight with a girl I was in preschool. Unlike your low life hero who beats up women and brags about it to feel like a big man.
That’s cuz you’re gay so then only thing you argue about with a woman is who wears a better g string and has better makeup. GTFOH!!!
I never beat a woman because I’m gay huh? That’s the homo response. Kendrick lamer got a bag on his head nothing anyone can do about it.
I got my bag of nuts on your head, gay greg. #YoureTooCute
And you got a 👄 full of 🥜s
As a rule you should stay out of the comment section and let the intelligent adults talk. Go watch RuPaul or check your K-Y supply.
When you die bitch it’s gon be fun because we know you are going all the way down. and even worse in Canada
as a rule – suck my cock
Couldn’t agree more.
He never should’ve released the track, should’ve kept that to himself.
Every battle is “gossipy”. Literally every single one.
No, every battle is not lol In a battle, usually what is revealed is what went on between the people battling, like 2Pac saying “I F-d your wife.” 2Pac didn’t say “I heard some dude in Bedstuy f-d your wife.” Jay-z talked about him and Nas’ baby mother. Not some other dude.
These dudes are literally doing investigations trying to dig up dirt to say in a battle. Don’t say that’s how it goes. Maybe there’s elements of that sometimes, but it’s not normal. Especially not as the basis for the WHOLE battle.
There was gossip and unproven ish in those two examples given which I’m not going to waste time listing. My point remains. Have a good one.
Don’t argue with fanboys… they doing what they suppose to do. But Benny siding with someone who also joined the “gossipy battle “then tucked his tail and ran. Ain’t a good look. Where they praise that at?? Let someone step out side and throw a rock at him then apology.. let’s see how much praise that person.
Tim dog(rip), fuck Compton… where is the gossip in that song?
Says the dude beefin with Gibbs and taking pics with his alleged baby mama
What song has Benny dropped , where he’s gossiping about Gibbs?
I was waiting to get Benny the Butchers feedback
