ASAP Rocky Enlists J Cole for Explosive Collab Amid Drake Feud Drama

ASAP Rocky

ASAP Rocky is pulling out all the stops for his highly-anticipated new album, Don’t Be Dumb. In the works since the last decade, this album promises a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including renowned producers Madlib, Pharrell, and The Alchemist. Speculation is rife that Slick Rick and Rihanna might also make appearances. Adding to the buzz, DJ Kast One recently dropped by Hot 97 on July 26, revealing another major name on the album: J Cole.

DJ Kast One shared that he had the privilege of hearing Don’t Be Dumb and was blown away by a standout verse from Dreamville’s finest. “I heard J Cole,” he confirmed. “I heard songs being played.” This untitled, yet-to-be-released track marks the first collaboration between ASAP Rocky and J Cole in over a decade, following their joint effort on the “TKO” remix in 2013, which also featured Pusha T and Justin Timberlake.

The collaboration is generating significant excitement, not only because Rocky and Cole are generational peers but also due to the ongoing drama in the rap world. ASAP Rocky has been embroiled in a feud with Drake throughout 2024, dissing him on Future’s “Show of Hands” and vowing to continue the beef on Don’t Be Dumb. Meanwhile, J Cole, once an ally of Drake, has seemingly switched sides. The tension between Drake and Cole began with the “7 Minute Drill” controversy and escalated when Cole appeared on the same Future and Metro Boomin album where Rocky took shots at Drake.

DJ Kast One further stoked the flames, confirming that Rocky will be taking aim at Drake again on Don’t Be Dumb. This ongoing saga has fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the drama. With J Cole’s involvement, it’s clear that this album will be a significant moment in the evolving landscape of hip-hop rivalries. We’ve certainly come a long way since the days of “In the Morning.”

Drake’s Halftime Redemption? FIFA President Teases 6 God’s Shot at World Cup Glory

HonkMagazine

Drake might have faced some challenges in 2024, but FIFA President Gianni Infantino could offer him a golden opportunity for a comeback. During a recent chat on Good Day New York, Infantino teased the idea of Drake performing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Halftime Show, which could spark another exciting chapter in the competition between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar has been a strong competitor in their ongoing rivalry, gaining much attention with his songs “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”

In 2025, while Kendrick continues to win Grammys and shine during big events like the Super Bowl Halftime Show, his album has remained a hit on music charts, standing firm against Drake’s latest work. Yet, everyone knows Drake is not one to shy away from a challenge. Then, there’s FIFA. When host Rosanna Scotto suggested the idea of Drake headlining the World Cup Halftime Show in 2026, Infantino seemed intrigued. “Drake… Kendrick Lamar dissed him at the Super Bowl,” she pointed out, highlighting a perfect chance for Drake to make a strong comeback. Infantino, who has previously collaborated with Drake to announce locations for the tournament, appeared enthusiastic about the idea, responding, “That’s a good idea. I should have his number somewhere.”

Could this be the ideal platform for Drake to turn things around? A performance at the World Cup is a massive global event and a chance for him to reclaim his story in front of millions of viewers worldwide. This could reinforce why he is still one of the biggest names in music. If this happens, it would symbolize a renewal for Drake, a kind of revenge tour during the world’s most-watched halftime show. Will FIFA reach out to him? Will Drake step up to the challenge? And will Kendrick have anything to say about it? 2026 is shaping up to be quite an exciting year!
