During his chat with Lil Yachty, J. Cole discussed how his dislike of Soulja Boy in college made him realize he was a hater and reform his ways.

When @JColeNC was in college, he hated Soulja Boy

J. Cole writes deep lyrics and he thought Soulja Boy's lyrics were trash

But at every party, he'd be dancing to Soulja Boy songs with his friends

That's when he realized he was being a hater

"What you'd be better off doing is looking at Soulja Boy and realizing these dudes are talented and these dudes understand something you don't understand. I switched my mindset, and I turned from a hater, as a youngin, to an appreciate," Cole explained.  "What can I find that's amazing about this? What can I find that's good about this? It changed me as an artist. I became a better artist. It's not that I was trying to do anything that they was doing.  But I just started loving what they are doing.

Not exactly a diss of SB.

But you know how Big Draco rolls.  Upon hearing his name, he issued a threat to Cole.
