The aspiring rapper who claimed J. Cole and his team were behind the theft of his song “Stick” are retracting those claims after speaking with the record label. Similarly, the song appears on the D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, made available on Thursday night (Mar. 31).
Furthermore, on Friday (April 1), Rockstar JT of Atlanta, Georgia, wrote on Instagram,
“In 2020 I dropped STICK … 2022 @dreamville dropped STICK … I know they are way bigger artist than me but these songs sound identical just structured different .. this is not for clout but do y’all hear it?”
Apparently, Dreamville Has Responded To The Aspiring Rapper
As a result of Rockstar JT’s tweet being shared on The Neighborhood Talk, the post gained enough traction for Dreamville to respond allegedly. Therefore, in a recent update to his post, the aspiring rapper claimed to have spoken with someone at the label. Surprisingly, based on his explanation in the caption, the song in question is from 2019.
“I talked with the team behind the song and they were in contact with dreamville’s team and come to find out they had their song recorded in 2019 it just wasn’t released,” he wrote. “ I posted the post last night & this morning I found out when it was recorded.”
Also, JT wrote in the caption,
“Thankful for everybody supporting man. This morning the air was cleared. let’s move on and build all these BLACK artists up.c #Dreamville #Stick.”
For comparison, the songs appear below. Do you prefer one of the songs over the other?
