They have mutual respect and admiration for each other. In an interview with Complex, J. Cole revealed that he was a fan of Burna Boy's music and that he reached out to him for the collaboration. He said: "I love Burna Boy's music. I think he's incredible. He has a unique sound and a unique voice. I wanted to work with him for a while, and I'm glad we finally made it happen." Similarly, Burna Boy expressed his appreciation for J. Cole on Twitter, saying: "Thank you @JColeNC for blessing me with this opportunity. You are a legend and an inspiration to me and millions of others."

- They have similar messages and goals in their music. Both J. Cole and Burna Boy are known for being socially conscious and politically aware in their lyrics, addressing issues such as racism, oppression, corruption, and injustice. They also share a common vision of uplifting their communities and inspiring their listeners to pursue their dreams and overcome their challenges. They are not afraid to speak their minds and challenge the status quo, but they also do it with positivity and optimism.

They have complementary styles and skills in their music. J. Cole is one of the most skilled lyricists and storytellers in the rap game, while Burna Boy is one of the most versatile and charismatic singers in the afrobeat scene. Together, they create a powerful combination of rap and melody, blending elements of hip hop, R&B, dancehall, reggae, and afrobeat. They also have a great chemistry and synergy on the track, trading verses and hooks with ease and flair.

So, there you have it. J. Cole and Burna Boy are unlikely to have any form of conflict between them, as they are both talented, respectful, and visionary artists who have a lot in common. Instead of looking for drama or controversy, let's celebrate their collaboration and enjoy their music.

Very great perspective. Thanks for sharing these insights here. Thanks
