J Cole Thanks Drake, Wale, Kanye & More On ‘Friday Nights Lights’ Anniversary

J Cole Celebrates “Friday Nights Lights” Anniversary, Thanks Kanye West, Drake, Wale & More

J Cole released his third official mixtape Friday Night Lights exactly one decade ago. And while the fans are still waiting for the classic project to transition onto DSPs, Cole took a moment to share a few words reflecting on the mixtape’s importance.

The North Carolina spitter took to Instagram to pay homage to some of the collaborators who helped bring it to life, singling out the likes of Drake, Kanye West, Wale, and many more.

“10 years today,” begins Cole, alongside the tape’s iconic cover art. “Grateful ain’t even the word. This one defined me as a artist. Thank you forever for the love. My dream is to one day have this on DSP’s where it belongs. Until then,” he wrote.

“Thank you @kingofqueenz25 @champagnepapi @omen @wale @juromez @elitethatsme @syience1 L&X @feltonamus @alexhaldi @groovesince1989 @iam_mali @erykahbadu @janellemonae @kanyewest.”

It’s quite interesting to see Cole extend gratitude to Kanye West, with whom he has had beef with. Couple of months back, Ye was seeking an apology from the Dreamville rapper.

It appears this is an olive branch of sorts, one that suggests Cole is willing to rekindle his alliance with his former collaborator.
