Will other artists have to go Platinum with no features, too?

During a recent appearance on Ebro Darden’s Beats 1 Radio show, Joey Bada$$ revealed some news that will break J. Cole fans' hearts: the North Carolina MC isn’t planning to do any more features for other artists. Cole used Joey’s “Waves” beat for his single “False Prophets” last year, and Cole called him up to get his blessing beforehand. During their conversation, Cole revealed that features are no longer a priority for him:

Literally he told me like, ‘Yo, Joey you’re the only person I got on my features list. I ain’t doing no more features. Only your feature is the one that’s important to me.’ Literally the day before 4 Your Eyez Only came out, he sent the verse back.

The Dreamville boss' disdain for features on his own projects has already become a meme, but now it sounds like he’s also planning to stop lending out his talents to other artists. His appearance on Joey’s recent track “LEGENDARY” is the only feature’s he’s done since 4 Your Eyez Only, although he also produced two songs on his Dreamville signee J.I.D’s debut album The Never Story.
