Haters will say it’s photoshopped but on the contrary, J. Cole had a sitdown with Lil Pump at The Sheltuh, where they ask each other questions and look to understand one another.

“They probably won’t believe it. They’ll say it was Photoshopped,” says Lil Pump in the interview.

During the hour-long conversation Cole shares how he was introduced to Pump’s “Gucci Gang” hit single and praises him. He goes on to say that at first he thought he was crazy but then realized he’s actually a real genius.

“This kid is smart,” says Cole. “He knows more than what people think he does.”

It is also revealed in the interview that after the release of Cole’s ‘KOD’ album and “1985 (Intro to ‘The Fall Off’)” single Pump had a desire to FaceTime Cole to talk. Cole wasn’t buying into it at first and felt the whole thing was a set up. The eventually met at Rolling Loud and set the interview up.

While he waits for Pusha’s response, Drizzy floats over a slower tempo instrumental and comes for naysayers and people coming at him. He also expresses being undervalued despite all the work he’s put in throughout his career.
