Here’s Why J. Cole Left The Basketball Africa League

He came, he saw, he conquered. Rapper J. Cole has announced he is ending his stint with the Rwanda Patriots after appearing in 5 games for just a total of 45 minutes.

The rapper turned hooper was called out on social media by the BAL’s top scorer for “taking up a spot” and ultimately decided that it was time to head back to the states.

Cole was only signed to play 3 to 6 games so he fulfilled his end of the deal. No matter how you feel about his play it was pretty cool to see Cole out there with real hoopers getting it in.
