J. Cole’s KOD wasn’t even nominated for the 2019 Grammy Awards, but he still feels like a winner. The Dreamville Records boss shared his Grammy reflections via Twitter on Monday (February 11), revealing how happy was to see Cardi B take home the award for Best Rap Album.
“I don’t never wanna be propped up by tearing somebody else down,” he wrote. “Seeing Cardi b win a Grammy make me feel like I won. Same with jay rock and Anderson. I feel for Travis cuz he really deserved that acknowledgement as well, but his moment is way bigger than the awards could say.”
Cardi thanked Cole for the kind words on Instagram.
“Thanks @realcoleworld and everybody that was in the category had amazing albums !” she wrote.
Cole continued his Grammy assessment by admitting he used to seek validation from such awards. Although many fans believed the platinum-selling MC/producer was snubbed, he looked at it another way.
“I went through a lot of heart break the first half of my career, maybe even longer, cuz deep down I needed that validation that I thought the awards could bring,” he explained. “But it’s a quote I’m about to google that’s the realist shit and sums up how I feel today. 4 anybody that need 2 hear.”
The quote read, “My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me and that what misses me was never meant for me.”
Cole concluded his message by congratulating a few other Grammy winners and giving more encouragement to those who didn’t get their just due.
“Seeing Thug get a Grammy incredible,” he wrote. “Future too. been deserved. March madness was bigger than the Grammy’s. And congrats Ella mai. 6lack really deserved too, but don’t sweat it my brother. No award show could ever get it all the way right. Especially one that ain’t run by us.”

Pretentious fuck..Yo J lame. cardi pushing thotism is just as bad as the shit u talked on kod. Fuck Rap. I’m bout done.
Wow. Is everyone backing this junk now? Hip-hop “saviours” Kendrick and Cole went radio pop on us as soon as they grabbed the torch. Now even Nelly is harder hip-hop then either of them.
and for the greater good i walk amongst the evil
Grammys is a joke nowadays more than ever… giving grammys for the popularity over the quality of music
Yo! Don’t save her, she don’t wanna be saved. Cardi is as fake as those reality hoes J Cole rapper about in No Role Modelz.
*rapped
Lmaoo this is why I didn’t even watch tue awards. Feminism has gotten to the Grammys hard. Cardi B had a solid album, but not Grammy worthy in any sense. J. Cole is keeping it cool, but he knows this was bad. Cardi B deserves success so I’m happy for her, but we have to stop with this hand out ish.
Who is we? Some old white people hand out those shits. So of course they picked the Minstrel Show shit. Pac and Biggie don’t have Grammies bruh. That’s all you need to know about that shit. It’s irrelevant.
Why is Cole trying to be friends with everybody in the game now? He’s like an NBA player who gets along with the competition.
If you feel the need where you have to say this “I don’t never wanna be propped up by tearing somebody else down,” it clearly shows how you really feel. Woke eyes know that right there is you tearing her down, but you’re really not brave enough to be more blunt and she is notr smart enough to realize you took a shot at her.
Chris brown is the only artist that says what he really feels, f*** rap I’m going to rnb for truth…Tory Lanez where you at
Dix one cracks me.?????
But you didn’t win one though
Tired of everyone acting like J Cole is the savior of hiphop. His latest album was a trap album, sounding similar to Lil Pump. He is the same as them. Stand for something wth authenticity. Until then, I’m gonna call you Lil Cole.
This is yalls King of Rap? Big upping Cardi B, Future and Fruity Thug? No mention of Lupe, Royce or Real Rap being deserving. Cole is lost
