He wrote on Twitter about this topic: “I used to be a kanye Fan, I still bump his older classics albums because those albums were hallmarks to me. Other than that, Kanye changed but just not for the better”
No. J. Cole isn’t quitting his rapping career.
It seems as the rumors stem from a statement issued by J. Cole in 2021.
In an interview with Slam magazine, talking about the possibility of retirement, J. Cole said: “Oh, bro, I’m super comfortable with the potential of being done with this s**t”.
“But, I’m never going to say, ‘Oh, this is my last album.’ … Because I never know how I’m going to feel two years, three years, four years down the line, 10 years down the line, but please believe, I’m doing all this work for a reason,” he added.
The short answer is that he is better than you think he is.
The long answer is that he has always been a basketball enthusiast.
Cole played basketball at Sanford High School in North Carolina and was briefly a walk-on player at St. John’s University. The Grammy-winning rapper, however, made the decision to focus on music and never played a Division I game.
In 2021 he played in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) for the Rwanda Patriots, but his stint did not last long due to personal reasons.
Between the end of 2021 and now he has played in the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) with the Patriots BBC and currently he is signed with the Scarborough Shooting Stars.
Cole is married to Melissa Heholt, with whom he has two children.
