Summer Walker has revealed a hidden skill: she’s awesome at shooting hoops, and apparently J. Cole is in awe of the singer’s basketball abilities.
While attending the Dreamville Fest over the weekend to see the North Carolina rapper perform, the singer ended up enjoying wholesome recreation at a Dave & Busters. She is seen in the collage of photos watching J.Cole tear up the stage, as well as shooting some hoops with the rapper at the arcade center.
“Cole World” she wrote in the post’s caption on Sunday (April 2).
Though it’s unclear if Summer’s skills have dashed Cole’s hoop dreams for good, it looks like the two had fun. Prior to this, Cole made his basketball fantasies a reality, when he did a short stint with the Scarborough Shooting Stars last year.
Despite his time on the Canadian team’s roster being cut short due to touring obligations, he still managed a career-high performance with a pair of three-pointers against the Newfoundland Growlers last June. In an interview following the game, Cole spoke about his experience as a member of the team.

“Man, it’s been phenomenal,” he said. “I was telling the guys in there like, ‘I’m going for these shows, I’m not sure if I’ll be back.’ But just in case, I had to let them know how incredible this was. The players, the coaching staff, the organization, the league, it’s a crazy thing when you see it on paper, when you see what’s actually happening, and they made me feel so welcome. Like, really making me a feel like part of the time, everybody embracing me.
He added: “They helped settle nerves and talked me through and teach me, and I’m just on a team with a bunch of amazing guys, so I appreciate them for that. Coaching staff, players and then the league, it’s priceless what they’re allowing me to come in here and do and experience, so I appreciate that.”
The Off-Season rapper also talked about his success and things he wasn’t able to achieve on the basketball court.
“I feel like, one, just getting out here was a success, like the training it took to get here and play at a professional level,” Cole explained. “These guys in this league are elite talent here, so to be on the floor with them, be in shape and come out here, that was a success. But on a second side, being able to be who I’ve shown myself I’m capable to be. I maybe had a couple spurts of that, but there’s a lot to learn and a lot of reps that I haven’t got.”

He continued: “So I’m not gonna say I checked that box completely, but moments like tonight, first of all it feels good to get a win, we needed that win. It feels good to see the team chemistry on a high and then of course, to be able to contribute to that a little bit, felt good. So like, there’s little spurts, but nah, I feel like if I didn’t go no further, I would still be like, ‘I never got to the paint!’ You know, little things I would love to see myself do.”
