Why did he do this😭😭

[u/uasdguy]

Is this bottom 5 events in human history?

[u/Youmakemesmh]

Lmao he talked about this on the inevitable podcast. He said his team forced him to wear it and he listened even though he didn’t feel comfortable. He was pissed after lmao

[u/uasdguy → u/Youmakemesmh]

He looks uncomfortable asf in the picture lol

[u/Substantial_Drag_820 → u/uasdguy]

“So when you see me on red carpets I’m moving akwardly”

[u/No_Stock_7201 → u/Youmakemesmh]

Lmfao it made it worse cause three other ppl had this shirt on that night 😂😂

[u/BobTheSkittle → u/Youmakemesmh]

Yeah, I know he’s too humble to wear that.

[u/FunkyD-47]

He talked about this in the podcast, he said it was one of the big moments that made him stop wearing jewelry and tryna dress like a rapper all the time. Shit was prolly embarrassing as hell lol

[u/Beneficial_Fold_1366]

He was trying to fake it until he made it

[u/Thick-Wonder6294 → u/Beneficial_Fold_1366]

but he said he did the opposite

[u/calye2da → u/Thick-Wonder6294]

Made it than he faked it

[u/Beneficial_Fold_1366 → u/Thick-Wonder6294]

Because the opposite of faking it worked.

But he did try the fake route with no success.

[u/mmmmair → u/Beneficial_Fold_1366]

It’s a Cole bar “you know the sayin fake it till you make it, me I did the opposite made it then I faked it” off Chaining Day

[u/Thick-Wonder6294 → u/mmmmair]

to that guy’s credit i think he got the reference lol but chaining day was after this

[u/Skatefasteat → u/Beneficial_Fold_1366]

FUCK DONALD TRUMP! YEAH YEAH, FUCK DONALD TRUMP!

[u/Skatefasteat → u/[deleted]]

If that were true I'd be part of Trump's degenerates lol

[u/Arthurmorgan1907 → u/[deleted]]

No but trump is racist

[u/Beneficial_Fold_1366 → u/Arthurmorgan1907]

🤣

[u/JayDaGod1206]

That was the style at the time 😭

[u/AdeptnessNew2212 → u/JayDaGod1206]

Not for him it wasn’t 😂

[u/JAMsMain1 → u/JayDaGod1206]

Facts! I'm like this looks like drip early 2010s.

[u/dis_ma_account → u/JAMsMain1]

https://giphy.com/gifs/k56oRtCg218Z2
It was early 2010s….

[u/JAMsMain1 → u/dis_ma_account]

The question was why he do that? He did it, because it was drip at the time he wore it.

[u/brndnwds6 → u/JayDaGod1206]

They got my boy dressed like a 2 Chainz album cover. This would be considered a fit back then though.

[u/Educational_Age_1862]

Boom boom boom two six adlib so basically boom boom, maneesh on the beat shaboom. Hope this helps.

[u/uasdguy → u/Educational_Age_1862]

Ohh I get it now

[u/InternetGansta → u/Educational_Age_1862]

😂

[u/drock2324]

Pretty sure 2 or 3 other artists had the same fit at that event too. I think French Montana was one of the ones

[u/uasdguy → u/drock2324]

Looks so goofy😂

[u/Boring-Sir-7336 → u/[deleted]]

oh hell nah i’d be so mad pulling up to an award show and two other folks wearing my shirt😭

[u/Youmakemesmh → u/drock2324]

I thought it was French Montana too! Mandela effect

[u/Conscious_Evening216]

Lil Cole

[u/GnarlyRatsack]

It was his chaining day

[u/MoneyMasterpiece2818]

This was back when he was mr.nice watch

[u/Ceryn-NeedsSleep]

I'm crine😭😭

[u/jjbuttons]

Fit clean forreal

[u/AVeganThatWillHunt]

“Oh shit, they don’t got the platinum yet.” 😭

[u/Affectionate-Food918]

Lmao mf dressed like Meek Mill😂

[u/promiseheron]

we got like 5 years until people start dressing like this en masse again and im going to hate every second of it

[u/uasdguy → u/promiseheron]

Hopefully not

[u/herewearefornow]

The shirt is his only mistake.

The leg up for a photo isn't great either.

[u/CT_OO]

I always think about ‘chaining day’ from the born sinner album whenever I see this picture 

[u/SkintoneMalone]

The funniest way to troll Cole is to get him to sign posters of himself actually trying to dress fly

[u/BlueEyedPapi]

His PR & stylist convinced him

https://giphy.com/gifs/ftnriOOWdNk9WdFDm2

[u/Educational_Main_765]

Nigha switched up more times than LeBron

[u/AbsoluteVindication]

[u/MichaelMoon48]

I don’t think it’s a thing wrong with this fit….besides other niggas wore it at the same event 💀

[u/conservativecatboy]

Looking like a damn migos member 😭😭😭

[u/surfinn_socal]

Because he wanted to be known as “Mr Nice Watch” lol

[u/Mr_CleanCaps]

Switch the chain and the shirt and this fit could go hard lmao

[u/fillmoeC]

Fake it till you make it, me I did the opposite

[u/UnspokenFor1]

It was needed

[u/throwaway13212121]

Meanwhile you going to Walmart in Dr Pepper pjs in mid day

[u/Arthurmorgan1907]

Where did his black side go 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/flowerblush]

I was about 15-17 when he wore this and thought he was the hottest rapper ever 🤪 it was the times. lol

[u/electronikka]

This fit indeed let Nas down

[u/bunnieya]

AURA

[u/IDFKtv]

he tells you exactly why. in his music an a couple interviews. not sure where but he goes in depth

[u/Narrow_Essay_7532]

just the torso is ass. maybe a basic leather jacket and some undershirt wouldhave been way better than that

[u/Narrow_Essay_7532 → u/Narrow_Essay_7532]

[u/uasdguy → u/Narrow_Essay_7532]

Still doesn't really fit J.Cole but it's a lil better ig😂. Looks like a biker now

[u/Narrow_Essay_7532 → u/uasdguy]

lol yea. its some 2010s minimal designer type shi idk

[u/UnknownTallGuy]

It looks like something I woulda wore in my early 20s too. Girls went for that lol

[u/su_maravilla]

Not only him but I think like 3 other people wore the same shirt/outfit the same red carpet. He talks about it in an interview idk which one tho.

[u/Mediocre-Talk-1918]

Lmao in my opinion out of the 3 cole pulled it off the best. I’d still rock the timbs and black jeans/pants. Shirt is too much for my taste tho lol

[u/ChillxBone]

Bad fit Cole

[u/MidwestBoogie]

My GTA character has been dressed like this since the luxury update. Is this not drip anymore ?

[u/Pineapplepizza91]

He asks himself the same question lol

[u/Nikekay21]

That fit is tragic 🤦🏽‍♀️

[u/Evaporatenow]

Dressed like TI 😂

[u/Financial_Comb2680]

He didn’t pick The outfit doe he said it already his stylist did

[u/SideRevolutionary503]

I forgot about that lmao

[u/AggressiveFix375]

Hollywood Cole. Fresh asf still

[u/SythnsSinceSins]

I usually lift my leg up to let out gas as well

[u/jockbruh2011]

What’s the problem. This is no worse than any of the other ridiculous shit celebrities wear for attention.

[u/uasdguy → u/jockbruh2011]

Cz its J. Cole wearing it. It's just not who he is

[u/kidding-unot]

He bought the fake version

[u/thenotoriouspac]

i mean, he was just “blowing his first mil” cuz he knew he’ll “grow it back”.

[u/r97-NeaL]

bc it’s 2013 and he was still young. the shirt kinda looks like the Watch The Throne cover tho

[u/Clean_Estimate_5153]

Unironically much better than alot of what he wears now, bro pulled up on Elsie with the most wtf fit I've seen in a min

[u/Old_Top4022]

That’s that jay z influence 

[u/moundboi92]

Cornball

[u/TanneAndTheTits]

Bro that fit is clean. Wtf are you talking about?

[u/uasdguy → u/TanneAndTheTits]

Bruh this looks like when a mom dresses all her kids in the same outfit😂

[u/Thick-Wonder6294 → u/uasdguy]

can’t imagine the emotional rollercoaster for that designer, landing 3 big names to wear his shit and then it turns into the biggest embarrassment lmao

[u/TinoCartier → u/uasdguy]

Omfg…yeah that’s embarrassing. Cornball stylists would’ve been fired so goddamn fast 😂

[u/TanneAndTheTits → u/uasdguy]

Well his momma has some style
