J. Cole closed out his infamous Dreamville Festival in a major way by sending a message to Kanye West while he was performing on stage.

THANK YOU! This weekend was like a big family reunion, and we felt the love from the fans. Whether you’re a day one or new this year, we appreciate you. We can’t wait to do it again next year! 🌻 #DreamvilleFest

Shout out to Kanye West. Please clear the sample for me, my brother. I appreciate it.

The track samples Kanye’s ‘Devil in a New Dress,’ and the Cole project that features this track is not on any streaming service, which could explain Cole’s long-standing feud with Kanye.
