Hot off the release of his album, Might Delete Later, J.Cole took title literally during his annual Dreamville Festival.

During his headlining performance on Sunday (Apr. 7), Cole interrupted his set where the Fayetteville rapper addressed his project and how he regrets releasing his Kendrick Lamar diss, “7 Minute Freestyle”.

In one part of his speech, Cole said, “I’m so proud of that project, except for one part. It’s one part on that shit that make me feel like, ‘Man, that’s the lamest shit I ever did in my fucking life right?”

He continued, “Y’all love Kendrick Lamar correct. As do I. So I just wanna come up here and publicly be like bruh, that was the lamest goofiest shit. And I say all that to say it made me feel like 10 years ago when I was moving incorrectly, and I pray that god will line me back up on my purpose and my path. I pray that my nigga didn’t feel no way and if he did, my nigga I got my chin out, take your best shot, Ima take that shit on the chin boy. Do what you do. All good. It’s love and I pray that y’all are like forgive a nigga for the misstep and I can get back to my true path cause I ain’t gonna lie to y’all the past two days felt terrible.”

J.Cole released his surprise album Might Delete Later, just two days prior which featured 12 tracks including “7 Minute Freestyle”, where Cole raps, ““Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic,” he aims at Kendrick Lamar. “Your second shit put niggas to sleep, but they gassed it / Your third shit was massive and that was your prime / I was trailing right behind and I just now hit mine.”

Dreamville Festival was held over the weekend (Apr. 6-7). The two-day festival featured performances from his Dreamville roster, as well as SZA, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Jeezy, ScHoolboy Q, Lil Yachty, and Sexyy Red, among many others.
