Lil Pump Answers If J. Cole Correctly Predicted His Rap Career

Lil Pump Doesn’t Agree J. Cole Correctly Predicted His Rap Career: “I’m Still Here”

Lil Pump visited the The Bootleg Kev Podcast where he was asked where J. Cole’s prediction on his 2018 song “1985,” that his career would not last was correct.

“If it’s really true what people saying/And you call yourself playin’ with my name/Then I really know you f-cked, trust/I’ll be around forever ’cause my skills is tip-top/” Cole raps.

“To any amateur n-ggas that wanna get rocked/Just remember what I told you when your sh-t flop/In five years you gon’ be on Love & Hip Hop, n-gga,” the North Carolina rapper continued on the song.

The pair were beefing back in 2018. J. Cole’s projects always do well, and Pump is struggling to drum up any interest for his releases. Pump tried to ignite interest by throwing his support behind Donald Trump during the election, but Trump brought him on to the stage as “Lil Pimp,” forgetting his name.
