Cole<\/a> nor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/tags\/drake\/\" target=\"_blank\">Drake<\/a>, and unfortunately, rap fans are coming at him for his opinion. Don&#8217;t read into his praise for the two rappers; it&#8217;s clear on where he stands.<\/p>\n<h3>Kevin Durant Praises J. Cole and Drake<\/h3>\n<p>Last Saturday (Feb. 22), <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kdtrey5?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">NBA player Kevin Durant<\/a>\u00a0had some downtime\u00a0from hitting the court and decided to tweet. What caught his eye was a post from <em>XXL<\/em> in which J. Cole&#8217;s new song &#8220;cLOUDs&#8221; was promoted. The track, released on Feb. 20, finds the Dreamville leader rapping about killing other rappers&#8217; careers and turning them into martyrs. Durant was feeling the track despite public opinion of Cole over the last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t care bout none of that fake tough guy sh*t. This is mastery,&#8221; Durant posted as a retweet of the DZL,\u00a0Omen, and\u00a0Cole-produced track. His tweet caused a ruckus on X as rap fans had a lot to say about KD&#8217;s opinion. Durant clapped back at the haters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s be honest Coles rapping is always top tier, but this gets no playback anywhere it&#8217;s only to critique who&#8217;s playing this for any other reason,&#8221;\u00a0@malikstr8shoots wrote to KD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gets playback in my AirPods, that\u2019s all that matters to me,&#8221; Durant fired back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who the fake tough guy? Gotta be talking bout drake,&#8221;\u00a0<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">@rastaarhem tweeted. &#8220;Talkin bout u,&#8221; KD replied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">&#8220;I bet you asked for permission from the boy if you could show support for Cole, but ONLY if you throw shade at the Boogeyman,&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">@_CallMeDennis_ tweeted. &#8220;The Boogeyman&#8221; refers to a nickname for Kendrick Lamar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">&#8220;I\u2019m throwing shade at fans like you, been hatin on Cole this whole time. Just listen to the music and stfu,&#8221; KD posted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you listen to Drake lol ok,&#8221; @TheNineForty_ tweeted to KD. &#8220;The GOAT,&#8221; Durant clapped back.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;tough guy&#8221; talk has been a sordid topic of conversation during the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap battle over the last year. Last April, after J. Cole dropped &#8220;7 Minute Drill,&#8221;\u00a0his own diss aimed at K-Dot, he bowed out of the beef to the surprise of the hip-hop community. Kendrick and Drake carried on their feud,\u00a0 but Cole&#8217;s decision to leave it all behind changed the way many rap fans felt about his legacy. The choice to no longer engage with The perceived Big 3 in the game had people\u00a0throwing stones at Cole.\u00a0Yet that hasn&#8217;t stopped Kevin Durant from listening to new music from the North Carolina MC and praising him for it.<\/p>\n<p>Durant&#8217;s tweet also ignited Kendrick Lamar fans who thought KD was throwing subliminal shots at K-Dot. Last April, during the height of the\u00a0beef between Drizzy and Dot, KD posted an image of Drake&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Certified Lover Boy<\/em>\u00a0album cover on Instagram with the song &#8220;No Friends In The Industry.&#8221; KD is clearly on the Toronto MC&#8217;s side.\u00a0Earlier this month, following the Super Bowl halftime show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@yahoosports\/video\/7469984068831022378\" target=\"_blank\">Durant was asked<\/a> what he thought of Kendrick&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It meant nothing to me,&#8221; KD said. &#8220;No thoughts. I ain&#8217;t really pay attention to it, to be honest. It was a pretty boring day. As for a Super Bowl, the game\u00a0was a little&#8230; yeah, the game got out of hand. The Super Bowl halftime show was just&#8230; I didn&#8217;t pay attention to it. I kinda skimmed through the whole thing to be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a response like that, it&#8217;s obvious\u00a0KD stands with Drake and Cole.<\/p>\n<h4>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/j-cole-kendrick-lamar-beef-port-antonio-song\/\" target=\"_blank\">J.
