Last week J Cole stopped by the San Quentin State Prison and spoke to the many prisoners there, in order to share their stories and speak out against the justice system. This week, Cole is continuing his movement by showing his support for NFL star Colin Kaepernick.
During the rapper’s 4 Your Eyez Only tour stop in Baltimore, J. Cole shouted out Kaepernick from the stage. Cole shared some thoughts about the city and how the struggling, free agent quarterback could help be a positive image for the city.
In a clip that’s surfaced on online from the recent show, Cole says:
Baltimore, the type of shit that’s happening here, don’t you think somebody should risk their whole liveliehood and their whole life to talk about this shit? Even if it costs them they money, they job, they life? Don’t that sound like Colin Kaepernick?
The quarterback also shared the backstage encounter with the rapper on his official twitter account as well.
