After last releasing an album, in 2016, J. Cole was keeping somewhat of a low profile. The Fayetteville rapper changed this, last month, when he dropped “ATM” and immediately received critical acclaim. Days later, he took all the buzz from Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, when KOD dropped.
The run J. Cole has been on is impressive and, for all the aspiring rappers from North Carolina, it’s been inspiring. But, there is a certain up-and-comer from Philly who isn’t too impressed. Jung Phil is making claims that “ATM” is biting his 2017 single.
According to Jung Phil, his “Count It Up” single was stolen by J. Cole, and it’s a song he dropped last year, which did 20,000 streams, in its first week on Pandora. After “ATM” came out, Jung Phil said he reached out to Cole’s management to no response. Now, he says he is going after him on social media, because he has no other choice.
