Cole, says he is no longer trying to compete with his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh off the release of his new album, The Off-Season, the rapper paid a visit to \u201cThe ETCs\u201d podcast with Kevin Durant and Eddie Gonzalez, where he reflected on his career and relationship with fellow rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which he says has evolved over time.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Grammy Award winning rapper, he has learned to value friendship over competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are the guys that push you, and you gotta push them,\u201d said Cole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so competitive early on that, like, even though we were all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/04\/15\/rapper-cdq-curse-those-behind-his-arrest-for-drug-possession\/\">friends<\/a>, I\u2019ve never been a reach out, I\u2019ve never been that person, especially when it\u2019s competition involved. It\u2019s almost like working out together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess in the NBA in the past that was unheard of. Like, \u2018Why would I work out with this ni**a? I\u2019m trying to destroy this ni**a.\u2019 That was kind of my mentality early on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as I\u2019ve gotten older, I realize that no one is truly my peer or can relate to what I\u2019m going through in life more than these people right here\u2013just in terms of whatever pressures there might be\u2026 Nobody can really relate to that like these dudes, and I really genuinely f**k with these dudes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been absolutely trying to make an effort as time goes on, to strip the competition from me,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m more interested in the relationship \u2019cause I also see a time when I\u2019m not doing this. That seems very realistic to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole added; \u201cI\u2019m more interested in the genuine relationship. Before I was interested in the competition. Before I was just interested in putting pressure or responding to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/05\/11\/billboard-music-awards-announces-drake-is-the-artist-of-the-decade\/\">pressure<\/a>\u2026 It\u2019s just less competition in my mind \u2019cause ni**as is old, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Cole says he has always had respect for his peers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was always a respect thing. Now it\u2019s just more of a wisdom thing where it\u2019s like, \u2018Yo, you can never have it all.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael Jordan will never be universally hailed as the greatest player of all time\u2013and that\u2019s insane. And LeBron James will never be universally hailed as the greatest player of all time\u2013and that\u2019s insane. You\u2019ll never have it, so it comes with age to realize that like, \u2018Yo, what are you even worried about?\u2019 \u2018Cause you\u2019re just setting yourself up for suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole then opened up about fulfilling his professional basketball dreams as the Fayetteville rapper made his debut playing for the Rwanda Patriots BBC in the inaugural season of the Basketball Africa League on Sunday, May 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American rapper, Jermaine Lamarr Cole known professionally as J.
