Though some people had accused the 4 Your Eyez Only rapper of jacking the work, Joey later defended Cole, insisting he had given Cole his blessing.
Now, months after “False Prophets” debuted, Joey has shed more light on the matter, revealing how Cole had approached him prior to the record’s release.
During a recent interview on Power 106, Joey explained Cole hit him up in the summer of last year, asking Joey to listen to a new track he was working on: “So I’m thinking, like, he wants me to get on a track or something like that [] We link up, I come to the studio, we politicking, and then he’s like, ‘I want to play you this record.’ Right, so I’m like, OK, still thinking this is a track for me to hop on.”
According to Joey, Cole wrote the single right after he returned home from tour.
Cole apparently wanted Joey’s blessing before the track dropped.
Although Joey gave his approval, he had no idea how big the song was going to be.
