<p>Overall, Cole wasn&#8217;t able to give his full time and attention to these opportunities. After all, he is a massive recording artist who has tours and other engagements to think of. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean he has lost his love for the game.

<p>Recently, we reported on how Cole was sitting courtside at a Miami Heat game. On Tuesday, J Cole continued his NBA tour by hitting up Toronto. The Raptors were taking on the Charlotte Hornets, which made it the perfect occasion for Cole to visit the Six.</p>



<p>In the video below, you can see that Cole was chilling courtside in a hoodie and come camo pants. Consequently, Cole got plenty of attention at the game as all of the cameras were on him. Typically, the artist is not a fan of having the cameras in his face, although it comes with the territory at this point.</p>

<p>Unfortunately for Cole, his team ultimately lost the game. The Raptors came through with a 132-120 victory that was aided by Pascal Siakim&#8217;s 28 points. Overall, the Hornets have had a very difficult season, and that isn&#8217;t likely to change, anytime soon. Hopefully, for J. Cole, this team will get back on track and showcase its full potential. Or maybe they can get Victor Wembanyama.</p>
