Styles P has mixed feelings about J. Cole retracting his attacks on "7 Minute Drill" targeted at Kendrick Lamar.
The LOX member hopped on Instagram to share his thoughts about the chain of events, following the shocking apology Cole offered on stage at the 2024 Dreamville Festival.
"The emcee with a competitive nature part of me is upset at that young man while the mental wellness take care of your spirit part of me is very proud of him," he posted on his Instagram Stories. "He just confused the shit out of my frequencies but imma always go with the take care of you spirit and please y'all self before you worry about pleasing others!."
Styles is both upset and happy with the Dreamville leader's decision, and continued to hypothesize the reason why Cole responded to Lamar in the first place.
"My hypothesis is this is something that he never wanted to do but the nature of the game and what the people say can dictate your movement," he continued. "Throwing jabs eventually leads to throwing power shots at some point and that ain't his thing or something he wants to do with his fam so he chose to bow out gracefully, never knock a man for bowing out gracefully or choosing to protect his spirit whether you or agree or not that took courage to do."
Styles added that he respects the "high vibrations" of Cole's apology and salutes him for being authentic, but admitted to personally wanting to witness a "lyrical war" as a "petty emcee" himself. The 49-year-old has seen his fair share of beefs with the likes of State Property, G-Unit, and more.
Last year, Freeway reflected on the early 2000s feud between Roc-A-Fella and The LOX. According to Freeway, the beef started with shots being exchanged between Jadakiss and Beanie, which led to the former's diss track "Un-Hunh!"
"When we heard that, we knew that's what it was," Freeway recalled, before reflecting on his reaction to Kiss' track "Fuck Beanie."
"I remember when I first heard that, I was like, 'Wow,'" Freeway shared, admitting he respected Kiss' bars. "I was like, 'That's what I'm talking about. Let's get it.'"
