Veteran New York emcee Canibus was the talk of the Internet Hip Hop community when the former Universal Records phenom dissed Roc Nation artist J. Cole in a song (“J. Clone”) and Facebook post. The comments reportedly stemmed from Cole’s onetime crediting of the HRSMN/Undergods emcee without furthering those tokens of support.

In a video released later yesterday, December 11, Canibus retracted those statements in a self-recorded video blog. “I’ve seen thousands and thousands of comments of [‘J. Cole’], and all the negativity it’s stirring up. After 48 hours of it, I feel confident enough to say that it’s unanimous. Hip Hop has spoken up loud and clear, it’s a ‘cole world’ right now, and you’re reignin’ champ, J. I take full responsibility for my actions and I apologize for steppin’ over the line. It comes off as tacky, unsophisticated, and it’s just not G. I love Hip Hop too much to further justify my selfish behavior.”

J. Cole has yet to speak on the matter. HipHopDX will keep you updated.
