J. Cole expressed regret for releasing his Kendrick Lamar diss track, '7 Minute Drill,' during his headlining performance at the Dreamville Festival in North Carolina. The rapper admitted that the diss was the 'lamest shit' he had done in his career and acknowledged feeling conflicted about responding to Lamar publicly.
Cole revealed that he felt pressured to engage in the discourse surrounding Lamar's verse on a track by Future and Metro Boomin, where Lamar took shots at Cole and Drake. Despite feeling conflicted, Cole released the diss track but later admitted that it didn't sit right with his spirit and disrupted his peace.
