Hear a snippet of the upcoming interview between Lil Pump and J. Cole.

Lil Pump and Smokepurpp had a long-running joke between themselves and their fans where they'd yell "fuck J. Cole." Neither of them knew J. Cole and for the most part, it seemed like J. Cole didn't even know who they were. However, J. Cole addressed the young rappers who've been dissing him on his K.O.D outro, "1985." However, Cole doesn't seem to have any beef with any of them. In fact, Lil Pump even said that the two of them were on "good terms." To further prove this point, the two artists apparently sat down for conversation after they first met at Rolling Loud.

J. Cole and Lil Pump seemed to have linked up during Rolling Loud to formally chop it up with each other. DJ Akademiks hit his Instagram to reveal that the two artists actually interviewed each other after their first met at the festival. From the sounds of the clip, it seems like Lil Pump might be detailing his arrest back in January after he allegedly fired his gun in his home. It's unsure when it'll be released but hopefully, it drops soon.

It's unsure if this was before or after J. Cole performed at the festival. During his set, Lil Pump was spotted vibing out next to the stage. In addition, J. Cole immediately shut down a "fuck Lil Pump" chant that started during his performance of "1985." 

Check the clip below.

Update: it appears Akademiks removed his exclusive IG post, but we've added his Youtube post for y'all to hear.
