Drake reportedly had reservations about performing with J. Cole after Kendrick Lamar dissed them on a track. Mal from the New Rory & Mal podcast shared that Drake questioned whether they should perform together at the Dreamville Festival. Fans speculated that Kendrick’s diss changed the dynamic of their collaboration on “First Person Shooter.” J. Cole publicly apologized to Kendrick during his set at the festival, expressing regret for his previous diss. Neither Drake nor Kendrick have commented on the situation yet.
