J Cole has been keeping a pretty low profile lately, but over the weekend, some lucky young fans spotted him out and about in New York City. They were selling candy, but the rapper decided to please them with a generous gift. He reportedly sent them $500. In a clip of this cute moment, he can also be seen sticking around to chat with the teens.
As expected, social media users are now praising the artist in the comments section of No Jumper for the kind gesture. “J Cole has always been there for the people,” writes one Instagram user. “J Cole for President,” jokes another. Of course, giving back is nothing new for him, as he frequently does so through his Dreamville Foundation. Despite this, his fans are still impressed by his commitment to paying it forward whenever he can.
J Cole sends $500 to a group of his fans in New York City
This isn’t the only positive interaction with fans the artist has had in recent months, either. Over the summer, he was spotted several times relaxing on the beach, riding his bike, and more. This is even after he stepped away from the explosive feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which initially earned him a lot of ridicule. Nowadays, most agree that he made the right decision given how things turned out.
As for what else J Cole has been up to, the hitmaker has been taking part in several high-profile collaborations recently, including with Cash Cobain and Tems, and has even confirmed that he will be featured on ASAP Rocky’s upcoming album. Don’t be stupid, which is set to be released on August 30th. What do you think about J Cole making some young fans happy by sending them $500?
