The Grammy-winning rapper recently posted a picture of his car getting fixed in Arizona.
PHOENIX — Rapper J. Cole was apparently forced to make a stop in Phoenix after experiencing some car trouble.
The Grammy-winning artist posted a photo on Monday to his 12 million followers on X of his car undergoing repairs in the Valley. Cole said the car broke down while on a trip to Los Angeles and indicated he planned to hang around Phoenix while the vehicle gets fixed.
The post was quickly met with curious reactions from local fans wondering what region of Phoenix the artist was having his car serviced.
Cole’s seventh studio album, “The Fall-Off,” was released earlier this month and the artist recently announced added dates for his upcoming world tour.
Tried to make it to LA before we go back home, the Civic said it had enough and broke on us! Phoenix, we here now while the car is getting fixed 🤞🏾 Gonna mob around the city in the sprinter selling CD’s in the meantime. pic.twitter.com/A8f0nbkwNF
