J. Cole opens up about Kanye West during a recent interview. He said that he felt his fellow rapper used him when he shared their phone conversation online.
During his interview on Power 105.1, J. Cole told host Angie Martinez that he did not expect West to share screenshots of their conversation on his Twitter account. He also revealed that West, later on, apologized for what he did.
"I would've never posted that or tell him to post that. That made me feel a certain type of way. I told him that. He apologized, for the record. I told him that it felt like you just used my name in that very quick conversation for social media and to keep your thing going, whatever you were doing. It just felt like it wasn't sincere because of that," said J. Cole.
