Another day, another celebrity beef.<\/p>\n

J.Cole<\/strong> is\u00a0sneakily throwing shade at\u00a0Kanye West<\/a><\/strong> in his new single, “Middle Child.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The highly-anticipated track released on Wednesday, Jan. 23, and fans went wild over the bop. So much so, it’s already trending on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Aside from its catchy tune, the rapper’s fans are already pointing out the subtle shade that’s being thrown at Yeezy. The Twitter user Def Pen<\/a> wrote, “J. Cole has some words for Kanye,” and followed the post with the lyrics:<\/p>\n

“But I’d never beef with a n\u2013\u2013\u2013a for nothin \/ If I smoke a rapper it’s gon’ be legit \/ It won’t be for clout \/ It won’t be for fame \/ It won’t be ’cause my shit ain’t sellin’ the same \/ It won’t be to sell you my latest lil’ sneakers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adding more fuel to the fire, J. Cole gives Drake<\/a><\/strong> a shout out right before he disses Kanye. “This watch came from Drizzy, he gave me a gift,” he raps.<\/p>\n

Of course,\u00a0the 33-year-old rapper’s\u00a0fans are Tweeting they “need answers” in regards to\u00a0the Ye shade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Let’s not forget that last May the “Kevin’s Heart” singer took shots at Kanye. “That made me feel a certain type of way,”\u00a0Cole said of the “Famous” rapper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yeezy shared a screenshot of their phone call, which has now been deleted, but the 33-year-old rapper said he felt “used” by it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

That’s not all who Ye has had drama with in the past year. He’s currently feuding with the\u00a0“In My Feelings” rapper. After Kanye learned that Drake followed (and unfollowed) his wife\u00a0Kim Kardashian<\/a><\/strong> on Instagram,\u00a0things got messy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’ve never mentioned or touched anything related to family when it came to Drake,” the “Famous” rapper wrote in a\u00a0series of now-deleted tweets<\/a>. “He dodged me for months when I extended olive branches to talk and then called to threaten me. This man tried to used my family’s song to get at me He been trying to pick a fight since the pool line.”<\/p>\n

He\u00a0wrapped up his social media posts, writing,\u00a0“I don’t have beef with no one. Love everyone but don’t follow my f–king wife on Instagram.\u00a0Ima focus on my family And you keep my family out of all of this wrestling foolishness.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Drama aside,\u00a0J. Cole’s “Middle Child” single references\u00a0his feelings towards being in the “middle” of old and new generations of rappers.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little bro and big bro all at once,” he sings. “Just left the lab with young 21 \/ I’m ’bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch.”<\/p>\n

To further promote his song, the rapper took to Twitter<\/a> to share famous celebrities who are all middle children. From Britney Spears<\/a><\/strong> to Jennifer Lopez<\/a><\/strong> to even Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

If you haven’t given it a listen, it just might be what you need to hear for a little mid-week pick-me-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
