J. Cole has made it apparent that St. John’s University has played a vital role in his life; serving as the educational institution he attended prior to his career taking off. At St. John’s, Cole maintained a 3.8 grade point average but he never received his diploma due to an outstanding fee that wasn’t paid (a late library book that was never returned).
Well, Thursday night, during his concert at St. John’s University, former University Provost, Dr. Julia Upton, presented Cole with his diploma backstage.
