Hip-hop and feuds almost go hand in hand and a new dispute is now out in the open. Rapper Soulja Boy has launched an all-out social media attack on J Cole after the Wet Dreamz singer criticized him. The Crank Dat rapper took to social media platforms and lashed out on J Cole which has left hip-hop fans stunned. However, Soulja Boy quickly apologized for his profanity-filled rant against his fellow rapper with some significant help from none other than Nicki Minaj. Let’s take a look at the controversy in detail.
Soulja Boy lashes out on social media
It’s safe to say that Soulja Boy was not impressed with J Cole’s recent comments about him. The rapper took to Twitter (X) and wrote profanity-laced messages that targeted Cole. He also went on an Instagram Live stream and escalated the situation even further.

The ‘Pretty Boy Swag’ singer called J Cole a ‘stupid b****’ and insulted him and his music, labeling him an industry puppet. He even questioned what Cole had ever done for his career and complained that he had never collaborated with him or featured him on a track.
Soulja Boy continued his barrage of abuses against J Cole as he even took a dig at his appearance and called him dirty. He even claimed that no one would want to dress up as him for Halloween.
What did J Cole say about Soulja Boy?
It all started when J Cole opened up during an interview on the podcast ‘A Safe Place’. The KOD rapper confessed that he initially did not enjoy music from younger artists like Soulja Boy. He admitted that he had some ‘resistance’ to the viral singer’s music.

J Cole explained that his musical preferences were leaning more towards artists like Lil Jon and Three 6 Mafia at the time, as they were ‘popping’ in the hip-hop scene. The rapper’s honest opinion caused quite a stir on social media and immediately caught Soulja Boy’s attention.
Nicki Minaj helps Soulja Boy apologize
A few hours after Soulja Boy’s extensive attack on J Cole, rapper Nicki Minaj took to Instagram Live alongside the 33-year-old to settle the dispute. She addressed her own comments about him and told him that she wanted to perform in the VMAs together.

Minaj explained to Soulja Boy that J Cole was actually praising his impact on hip-hop and how he contributed to the genre’s evolution. Once the rapper understood this, he posted an apology on X for misinterpreting Cole’s comments.
As of now, J Cole has not responded to the situation or addressed any of the public messages against him. But Nicki Minaj’s involvement in this drama clearly shows how people within the hip-hop scene look up to Cole as an influential figure.
