The North Carolina rapper, J. Cole, signed a deal to play in the Basketball Africa League with Rwanda’s Patriots BBC. Cole is expected to play three to six games during the season with his signing reportedly becoming official on Thursday (May 13). The African league consists of 12 teams. Cole’s first game will be against the Nigeria River Hoopers on Sunday. It’s no secret that J. Cole is a big basketball fan. He played in high school at Sanford High School in North Carolina and was a walk-on at St. John’s. He never appeared in a game. His highly-anticipated forthcoming album, The Off-Season, is slated to drop on May 14.
