J. Cole's Dreamville ending in 2025
J. Cole's Dreamville Festival will end in 2025.
The 39-year-old rapper has confirmed his music extravaganza in Raleigh, North Carolina will be no more following one last weekender on April 5 and 6 at Dorothea Dix Park.
A statement read: “What a ride it’s been… We can’t thank y’all enough for all the memories we’ve shared.
“From the very beginning, the idea behind the fest was creating a place where our fans, the Dreamville community, could spend time together, a place where they could see themselves reflected, a place to share in experiences. Let’s run it back one more time in April!”
The lineup is yet to be confirmed.
Dreamville was launched by Cole in 2018, but the inaugural event was postponed to April 2019 due to Hurricane Florence.
This year, the musician was joined by the likes of SZA, Chris Brown, and Nicki Minaj.
At this year's Dreamville, Cole apologised to Kendrick Lamar after dissing him on the track '7 Minute Drill' from his surprise mixtape 'Might Delete Later', branding it the "lamest s**** I ever did".
In a lengthy speech onstage, he said: "I’m so proud of that project except for one part. It’s one part of that s*** that make me feel like, man, that’s the lamest s*** I ever did in my f****** life, right? And I know that this is not what a lot of people want to hear. I could hear my ****** up there now, like, 'Nah, don’t do that.' But I gotta keep it 100 with y’all, right?”
Cole insisted he has a lot of love for his rap rival and regretted the diss, which came after Lamar took aim at Cole and his 'First Person Shooter' collaborator Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit 'Like That'.
Currently, Drake and Lamar are locked in a feud and have fired shots at each other on a series of diss tracks.
The former even filed a legal petition against Universal Music Group over Lamar’s hit song ‘Not Like Us’.
Drake accused the major label and publisher of “artificially inflated” streams for the record-breaking tune.
Released in May, the track marked Kendrick's fifth diss track aimed at his rap rival and came out less than 24 hours after his previous single, 'Meet the Grahams'.
Drake submitted a pre-filing in Texas after his previous filing in New York and accused UMG of defamation and “falsely accusing him of being a sex offender, engaging in pedophilic acts, harbouring sex offenders, and committing other criminal sexual acts.”
This is in reference to the lyrics: “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile” and “Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor”.
Drake swiftly fired back on his retaliation track ‘The Heart Part 6’, denying Kendrick’s accusations he is a paedophile.
