J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are beefing.

Cole made it official by responding to Kendrick's previous barb on his new surprise album, Might Delete Later.

It's all part of a greater beef that pits Cole and Drake against Kendrick, Future, Metro Boomin, and Rick Ross.

Russ was asked on Twitter if he would pick a side in the beef.

"I'm 31," he shot back.

That would make Russ younger than most of the figures involved in the beef.

Was that shade?
