Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James recently drew attention after being spotted carrying a vinyl copy of J. Cole’s latest project, The Fall-Off.
J. Cole later addressed the moment, explaining that James had brought the record with him so it could be signed. Cole added that the interaction also included James meeting the rapper’s children.
The brief exchange offered a glimpse of the long-running overlap between James’ NBA profile and his public support for music and culture, with the Lakers forward frequently seen engaging with artists and their work away from the court.
