J. Cole says retirement is no longer in his plans
J. Cole confirmed in Las Vegas on Wednesday, October 28, that retirement is no longer in his plans, after previously saying The Fall-Off would be his final album.
Cole previously said The Fall-Off would be his final album. He sat down with his longtime manager Mark Pitts and GQ's Frazier Tharpe in Las Vegas on Wednesday (Oct. 28), where he confirmed retirement isn't in the plans for him any longer.
Cole said he is not using the word retirement at all. He also said that while making the album he thought it would be his last.
The Fall-Off arrived as a double-disc album in February and notched Cole his seventh No. 1 atop the Billboard 200.
J. Cole dissed Kendrick Lamar on Might Delete Later's "7 Minute Drill" in April 2024. Days later, Cole apologized to Lamar and bowed out of the feud later that month while on stage at his Dreamville Festival.
As of October 28, 2026, the song Power Trip (feat. Miguel) by J. Cole is number 40 on the Apple Music US songs chart.
