(Video) Interview – J. Cole Says He Felt Kanye Used Him as a ‘Pawn’
Check out the interview J. Cole did with Angie Martinez on May 16th. It’s a 94 minute interview where Cole touches on many topics.
J. Cole spoke on a range of topics that covered his personal life and his professional life as an artist whose voice has become one of the culture’s most respected. He also touched on his pre-performance meditation ritual and past battles with alcoholism, and the Kendrick Lamar collaborations he now says fans may never see, and the envious text message he jokes about receiving from Drake after conquering his Spotify and Apple streaming records.
On a less intense, but never-the-less personal note, Cole confessed feeling a type of way about Kanye publicizing the fact that they had a private conversation with one another while pressing forward with his latest media blitz.
“It felt like you just used my name in that very quick conversation for, for social media and for like to keep your thing going. … It felt like it wasn’t sincere because of that.” He told Angie. “I feel like I got used as a pawn, and then that somehow it looks like I agree with what this dude is saying and agree with what he’s doing and the way he’s going about it and really that’s very far from the case.”
