Dreamville Records lived up to its name this week, as Bas and J. Cole teamed up to literally make a young fan’s dream come true.
On July 29, a man by the name of Robert Griffin sent the following tweet to Bas, about his son Collin:
“@Bas My 11 year old son @ his first concert in 2015.Just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and all he wants is to meet J Cole.Please help me Bas”
Attached to the tweet was a photo of Griffin’s son with Bas and two others.
Fast-forward nearly two weeks later, and a series of photos Griffin uploaded to Twitter shows his son backstage with both Bas and J. Cole at a recent concert.
“@JColeNC Dreamville truly is a family. They made my sons dream come true tonight.I will never be able to thank you all enough. Much Love!,” Robert Griffin tweeted.
According to a GoFundMe page, which has raised nearly $17,000, Collin was recently diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.
“For those of you who don’t know Collin personally, he is by far the most caring, compassionate, loving individual I’ve ever met in my life,” a description on the GoFundMe page reads. “He will go out of his way to help anyone in need at anytime and he never fails to put a smile on your face. He’s been so extremely strong so far and I know this is an uphill battle that we’re going to win.”
RESPECT.
This is dope, it really is. It’s just sad that he’s only one out of a hundred thousand fans with the same problem that would also like to see him.
I’m friends with Rob and have know Collin since he was born, there’s literally not “hundreds of thousands” of fans with this same problem. Rhabdomyosarcoma effects roughly 400 people a year, predominately juveniles. Look bruh, there’s always gonna be other people, but jut say “that’s dope” and leave it at that. No reason to throw low key shade.
Dope. Bas album To High To Roit was a classic and the most underrated album til this day since it release in 2015, I hope he delivers more art soon. Happy to see him with Cole still I was starting to think they weren’t cool anymore good to see. Now put some music out “Don’t Front”! Haha
Respect to Cole and Bas, great to see
Classy move. Wish we’d see more of this.
