J. Cole paid St. John’s University homage by performing a concert at the campus for the student body and faculty. In return, his alma mater finally gave him his college diploma despite nearly graduating almost a decade ago. The 2014 Forest Hills Drive rapper majored in Communications and minored in Business, while maintaining a 3.82 GPA during his tenure at the school. Originally, he never received his diploma after never paying a fee derived from an unreturned library book, but it looks like the school has finally forgiven him. Congrats, Cole!
