""The work visa process took way longer than expected, so I was only able to play in one before heading back," Cole said in a statement."
""I want to say thank you to the Nanjing club and to the CBA for allowing me to have that incredible experience.""
"Earlier in April, the multi-Grammy-Award-winning and multi-Platinum artist signed a deal with the Nanjing Monkey Kings in the Chinese Basketball Association."
"Cole won a Grammy in 2020 for Best Rap Song ('A Lot' by 21 Savage featuring J. Cole) and has several BET Hip Hop Awards to his name."
J. Cole announced the conclusion of his professional basketball career in China after playing only one game. The delay in the work visa process prevented him from participating in more games with the Nanjing Monkey Kings. Cole had signed with the team earlier in April, intending to play at least three games. This experience marked his third involvement in a professional sports league, following previous stints in Rwanda and Canada. He is also a successful musician with multiple Grammy Awards and Platinum albums.
