Freddie Gibbs seemingly has the smoke for J. Cole after the Dreamville rapper released a new song.
Premiered through his Algorithm blog on Thursday (February 20), Cole’s new track “cLOUDs” finds him rapping: “I charter unseen territories in ordеr/To push it farther than you n-ggas had ever thought of/I caught a lotta murder charges, turned artists/To martyrs, when I rock, thot turns to goddess.”
Shortly after its release, Gibbs took to X with a yawn emoji, then added more on the Instagram Story of his burner, youonlydie0nce.
“N-ggaz be rapping about how they kill rappers and kill they careers and blah blah blah but he backing outta rap beefs,” he wrote with laughing, thinking and yawn emojis.

Many fans are speculating that he’s referring to Cole and how he backed out of his beef with Kendrick Lamar, but nothing is confirmed.

Freddie Gibbs has shown love to J. Cole in the past – though it was notably before the aforementioned Kendrick moment.

Back in 2020, the Alfredo rapper shared a video showing off his brand new RS-Dreamers and praising their design before testing them out.
“Hell yeah, Cole!” he exclaims in the clip with Problem looking on. “I ain’t even mad at ya, Cole. I ain’t mad at you, Cole. This muthafucka hard bro. I’ma ball you in your own shit. Come get this work, nigga!”
He then took the kicks to task, successfully landing a dunk.
“In the J. Coles!” he yelled as he landed the shot.

The basketball sneakers were Cole’s first with PUMA in their multi-year deal.
In other news, Gibbs recently accused Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR of biting his style with their new album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
The title of the collaborative project bears a resemblance to that of Gibbs’ 2022 album $oul $old $eparately, which he also tends to shorten to $$$.
Drizzy and PND’s joint LP additionally features cartoon bunnies on its back cover, similar to the “Big Rabbit” mascot that the Gary, Indiana rapper has adopted for years.

The similarities have not gone unnoticed by Gangsta Gibbs, who aired his grievances with the OVO Sound duo just before the album dropped.
“Damn they even stole the rabbits too. I’m flattered,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), shortly after Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR unveiled the tracklist for $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which drops on Friday (February 14).
He then looked to capitalize on the moment by directing fans to his aforementioned album.
“$$$4u [heart emoji],” he quipped while resharing a spoof “Greatest Hits Collection” commercial he filmed in 2022 to promote $oul $old $eparately.

The ESGN MC also retweeted several posts from fans calling out Drizzy and PND for allegedly stealing from him, making sure his point was felt.
