J. Cole Shows Love to Drake,  Drake and Kendrick Lamar Feud in New Song, 'Port Antonio'

"My friends went to war, I walked away with all their blood on me," he raps. Drake reportedly liked Cole's initial Instagram post dropping the track, which references him by name.

J. Cole was a key player in the beginning stages of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, but dropped out early after removing his Kendrick diss track '7 Minute Drill' from streaming services.

Now, J. Cole has broken his silence over the feud in his new song "Port Antonio," which he dropped last night (Oct. 9).
