J. Cole Explains Retracting Kendrick Lamar Diss
American rapper J. Cole has shared why he decided to retract his diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar. The dispute started after Lamar dissed Cole and Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That,” leading Cole to fire back on his song “7 Minute Drill,” where he accused Lamar of “falling off like the Simpsons.”
During a performance at the 2024 Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, J. Cole paused his set to apologize to Lamar, offering insight into his decision in his latest track, “Port Antonio.” He explained that the media and others were trying to stir up conflict for profit. Cole emphasized that pursuing the feud would have cost him a friendship with Lamar, stating, “I pulled the plug because I saw where that was about to go… I wouldn’t have lost the battle, dog, I would’ve lost a bro.”

Jennifer Lopez Reflects on Heartbreaking Split from Ben Affleck After Second Divorce
Jennifer Lopez, the renowned American singer and actress, has recently opened up about her tumultuous second breakup with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old star candidly shared her emotional journey after their latest split, which took place just two years into their marriage.
This marked the second time Lopez and Affleck had tried to make their relationship work, with their first separation occurring back in 2004 during the height of their fame.
Their romance had captivated the public both times, with fans eagerly following their love story from the early 2000s, when they were first engaged, to their surprising reunion almost two decades later.
However, despite the rekindling of their relationship, it wasn’t enough to prevent their eventual breakup.
They called it quits in April of this year, and Lopez officially filed for divorce on August 20—ironically the same day as their two-year wedding anniversary.
Lopez graced the cover of Interview Magazine, where she opened up about the heartache she experienced during the divorce.
She admitted that the split nearly broke her, saying it was one of the hardest moments of her life.
Despite the pain, Lopez stressed that she holds no regrets about her marriage to Affleck, reflecting on the experience with both clarity and acceptance.
She explained, Not a single moment do I regret. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t difficult. It almost destroyed me. But now that I’ve come through it, I realize it was exactly what I needed.
Lopez acknowledged that while the journey was painful, it was also necessary for her growth. She added, I’m thankful to God for the lessons, even though I’m sorry it took me this long to learn them.
It took being hit hard—again and again—until I finally understood. The breakup, she noted, was like a wake-up call from the universe, one that she couldn’t ignore any longer.
Lopez’s relationship with Affleck has always been in the spotlight, from their high-profile engagement in 2002, to their breakup in 2004, and later their much-talked-about reunion in 2021.
Affleck, the Academy Award-winning actor and director, has had his own personal struggles in recent years, including public battles with addiction and a highly publicized divorce from actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children.
Despite their separation, Affleck and Garner have maintained a respectful co-parenting relationship, which has occasionally been overshadowed by his rekindled romance with Lopez.
Though the public was rooting for Lopez and Affleck to succeed in their second chance at love, it seems that fate had other plans.
Lopez’s recent reflections show a deeper level of self-awareness and acceptance, as she has come to terms with the lessons life has thrown her way.
While the journey hasn’t been easy, Lopez is now focusing on her career, family, and personal growth, determined to move forward stronger than ever.
