#j.cole Earlier this week, a rumor emerged claiming that J. Cole was paid $1 million for his feature verse on Lil Durk’s “All My Life.” However, Cole’s manager, Ibrahim Hamad, was quick to debunk the rumor and labeled it as “cap.” In an age where music has become a highly profitable industry, it’s not uncommon for such rumors to float around.

To give the true story, Lil Durk sat down with Zane Lowe on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1 and shed light on his new song, why J. Cole had to be on it, and what his fans can expect from his upcoming album, “Almost Healed.” The inspiration behind “All My Life,” according to Durk, came from his mood. “Whatever mood I’m in, I just go to the studio and make the music,” he said.

He revealed that a positive vibe went up with Dr. Luke, and that’s the first song that he played for Durk. Durk felt it was necessary for J. Cole to be on the track, and he made it happen. He’s been in touch with Cole, checking up on him and waiting for the right moment to ask him to feature on the song.

Durk also revealed that J. Cole is one of the rappers he looks up to and gives out a positive message. Fans had been waiting for the full release of “All My Life” since Durk teased it with a viral Instagram sample that lit up the internet. As J. Cole skillfully delivers his reflective stanza, the track’s mellow piano melody establishes the mood. Durk duets the chorus with a children’s chorus before delivering his verse.

It’s no secret that collaborations between top artists can be highly profitable, and a feature from an artist like J. Cole can increase a song’s value tremendously. However, it’s important to note that not all collaborations result in million-dollar payouts. While details on how much J. Cole was paid for his feature are unknown, it is clear that the rumor concerning the $1 million payout is false.

While J. Cole’s feature on Lil Durk’s “All My Life” is undoubtedly a hit, there is no truth in the rumor that he was paid $1 million for the feature. Fans can expect more exciting releases from Lil Durk as he continues to dominate the music industry. Collaboration between artists is nothing new, and while some collaborations are more profitable than others, the true value of a collaboration lie in the artistic merit of the track and the message it conveys to listeners.
