The allegation originates from podcaster Mal, with no confirmation from J. Cole.

Overview

  • Mal of the Rory & Mal podcast says Drake and Kendrick Lamar each recorded two features for J. Cole’s long-teased album The Fall Off.
  • He claims the Drake–Kendrick feud made the joint presence untenable, prompting Cole to redo the project and delaying its release.
  • Complex, The Source, and HotNewHipHop reported the comments on Dec. 30, noting the claim remains unverified.
  • J. Cole and his team have not addressed the report, and the album—first teased in 2018—remains unreleased.
  • Mal provided no recording timelines or release plans for the alleged verses, though outlets note the collaboration would be notable if accurate.
