One thing about J. Cole is that he’s going to support his artists—no matter what’s going on! But fans and Dreamville’s BAS were equally surprised when Cole popped out for his last U.S. tour stop. This appears to be his first stage performance since apologizing to Kendrick Lamar at Dreamville Fest on Sunday.

Surprise! Cole Takes The Stage With BAS
For context, BAS signed with Cole’s label Dreamville Records in 2014, per AfroTech. The ‘Tribe’ artist is getting ready to tour overseas after ending the U.S. leg in New York City last night (April 9). That’s the performance that the Dreamville owner popped out for.
At the show, BAS invited a fan on stage to perform J’s verse on their 2013 collab song ‘Lit.’ Cole gagged the audience and BAS when he randomly popped on stage to hype the fan mid-verse. The Dreamville founder kept his look simple with pulled-back locs, a black tee, and long jean shorts.

As mentioned, not even his artist knew that the record label owner was going to be in the building. J rapped the rest of his ‘Lit’ verse while the audience went wild. Then, he credited the fan for killing the verse!

TMZ reports that the ‘First Person Shooter’ rapper also stuck around to perform their ‘H.Y.B.’ song from his J’s new album ‘Might Delete Later.’
