J. Cole addressed a few things on "Let Go My Hand" off his new album, The Off-Season. On the track, Cole takes fans on a trip to memory lane about a fight he had with Diddy in 2013. J Cole raps,"Kept a tough demeanor on the surface but was mostly just pretendin’/And luckily my bluff was workin' way more often than not / But sometimes a ni*ga pulled my card, tryna expose me for a fraud/And with my reputation at stake, I was scufflin' just to save face/Couple wins, couple losses/Some broken up too quick to call it/My last scrap was with Puff Daddy, who would've thought it?/I bought that ni*ga album in seventh grade and played it so much/You would've thought my favorite rapper was Puff/Back then I ain't know shit, now I know too much."

A Complex source claims a conflict erupted after Diddy confronted Kendrick over his "king of New York" comments on "Control."
