Coles Prayers goes up 🙏
On Sunday (Feb. 3), ICE arrested 21 Savage for being an alleged illegal immigrant, and since that time, folks from across the hip-hop world have offered their support to the Atlanta rapper. Now, J. Cole has officially joined the list.
Cole has taken to Twitter to chime in with his thoughts. Though many have already weighed in, Cole’s words arrive with a certain sense of gravitas. “Praying for 21 savage let that man be with and provide for his kids,” says Cole, simple yet effective.
Respect goes out to J. Cole for playing the much-needed “voice of reason” role, and we can only hope that 21 finds reunited with his family before long.

Cole’s support for 21 comes as no surprise. On one hand, the Fayetteville, N.C. rapper has always been an outspoken guy who speaks up for what he feels is right.
Once, J. Cole and 21 Savage may have been considered unlikely collaborators. Yet in the wake of I Am > I Was intro “A Lot,” it seems as if the pair were always destined to link up. On the song, Cole praises 21’s character.
“Yeah, I just came from the A. I drove back home, six-hour drive, six-and-a-half. Before I left I stopped by to see my nigga 21 in the studio,” Cole said to begin “A Lot.” “He had two of his kids with him right in the studio, that’s when I knew. You a stand up nigga, I love seeing shit like that.”
