In the wake of J. Cole’s new album The Off-Season slated for release on Friday (May 14), the “ATM” lyricist is expected to play in the Basketball African League’s inaugural season tip-off two days later.
According to The Athletic’s senior lead NBA insider Sham Charania, J. Cole will join the Rwanda Patriots B.B.C. team when they face Nigeria River Hoopers, airing Sunday at 7 a.m. ET on the ESPNEWS channel.
Cole, 36, signed a deal to play three-to-six games with Rwanda on Tuesday and was welcomed by his new teammates and team personnel on Thursday.
He will play alongside his favorite college basketball team North Carolina State’s former top player Brandon Costner.
The Rwandan Patriots have won four Rwanda National Basketball League championships since the team was founded in Rwanda’s capital city Kigali in 2014.
Sunday’s game between the Patriots and River Hoopers is the NBA’s first basketball league collaboration with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) outside of North America.
J. Cole addressed how he wants to continue his hoop dreams in addition to recording music in an essay published on The Player’s Tribune in July 2020.

African league.. imagine if there was European league, Caucasian league, White league.. imagine the amount of kvetching small hats.. every blue checkmark Goldstein and Rosenberg on Twitter would compare it to another H0I0caust.. same with the small hat owned mainstream media.. politicians.. banking.. entertainment.. big tech.. everything they control.would be used against the league. This way around it’s kosher. Let.s see the small hats put up their daughters for the blacks to raep, oops oh no, race mixing is for the gentiles only, not for god’s chosen people.
Da fuq?
What are you talking about? White league? Caucasian league? You do realize their are white players in the African league.
There is a European league you dumbass. Your stupidity is on full display here. It’s an African league because it’s in Africa. Unbelievable.
It’s called African League because it’s located and operated in Africa. Also, it’s not just black people playing in the league either, anyone can join no matter their race. Just how the U.S has the N.B.A, other countries have their own leagues and organizations of Basketball. It’s the same with other sports like soccer. America has M.L.S, Spain has La Liga, and Germany has Bundesliga, anybody from any part of the world, from any race, can play in any of those leagues. It’s not racially exclusive.
