During an impromptu interview with the No Jumper podcast, J. Cole revealed how he first came across polarizing rapper XXXTENTACION and co-signed his rapping prowess. He admitted he hadn’t heard of the Broward Country, Florida rapper until the video of X getting knocked out on stage went viral.
“The kid got punched on stage, it was clearly big enough to make into my realm,” Cole said. “So that leads me to hearing some of his shit — damn, this nigga’s actually talented.”
X, who’s 17 album got a similar reception from Kendrick Lamar, is currently on house arrest stemming from his 2016 domestic abuse case. Since stepping onto the scene, his legal troubles have dominated the headlines, however, the “Look At Me!” rapper hasn’t done much to clean up his image. After graphic details emerged involving his case, he went on video saying he was going to “fuck y’all little sisters in the throat.”
But despite his legal woes, he’s been staying busy working on new music. Earlier this week, a rep for X confirmed an upcoming collaborative mixtape with Joey Bada$$.

And I know he knoooooows
I think J Cole over rated..
If you think J.Cole is overrated then try going in the studio and make couple of records or albums that match or beat his albums in terms of quality and masterful lyrics then we can talk .
He’s not saying he’s a better rapper than Cole. All he’s saying is that Cole is not as good as you stans make him out to be and i agree. Compared to Nas, Lupe, common, Kendrick, pac or jay he ain’t all that great.
J.Cole is better then half of the rappers u just named in music period. And vocals and lyrics wise he’s a GOD.
Lmao ur lame he’s a god ur #yeshomo
The kid is clearly troubled and a weirdo. But if you love hip hop no way you can listen to his album not think it’s a creative, quality music.
i dont know, I kinda like Joey Bada$$
Wow didn’t see this coming from cole, he needs a headline cuz 6god running the game.
i thought j.cole was against these phony rappers
J. Cole too has been threatened, bribed or blackmailed by the tribe that controls the industry to embrace him.
J. Cole would be one of the last people I’d think to show interest in the youngbul
I never like j.cole. He is just another overrated rapper with weak skills. J. cole looks like he has talent compare to lil Wayne, migos and the rest of these hookers.
This has to be FAKE NEWS, however if it’s not I gotta take a couple stripes away from J.Cole…and I rate Cole!
How can you say x hasn’t done anything to clean up his image if he donated multiple ps4, tvs, etc. he has been spreading positivity for the past month have you not read his youtube descriptions, not to mention you should stop referring him as the “look at me” rapper we are all aware who he his and not every ” article” has to mention his domestic abuse case.
Fck all yall bitch boys
