The Game Calls Out J. Cole for Apologizing to Kendrick Lamar and Criticizes “Watered Down” Rap Feuds

The Game has stirred up controversy in the rap world by taking a shot at J. Cole for apologizing to Kendrick Lamar and what he perceives as “watered down” rap feuds. The Compton native, known for his own history of beef with various artists, responded to a post from The Joe Budden Podcast co-host Lamar “Ice” Burney, who expressed a desire to see someone diss The Game.

In his response, The Game emphasized his skills in rap battles and his lack of limits when it comes to disrespect. He criticized the current state of hip hop, calling it “watered down” and pointing out J. Cole’s apology as a contributing factor to this perception.

The Game’s comments come in the midst of ongoing tensions between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with the rapper weighing in on their rivalry in a previous interview. He expressed admiration for both artists’ talents and suggested that any lyrical sparring between them is simply part of the hip hop culture.

The Game is not alone in his criticism of J. Cole’s apology to Kendrick Lamar, with other rap figures like 50 Cent also expressing disappointment in the Dreamville rapper’s decision to back down from the battle. The controversy surrounding rap feuds and apologies continues to spark debate within the hip hop community.
