Complex News reports that J Cole's fan, Cierra Bosarge, said the rapper went out of his to fulfil his promise. The promise was made two years ago but J Cole made sure that he would be in attendance. Cierra, an Arabic studies graduate, said:
"He planned his tour around my day. I could never thank him enough. He's God's gift. Every night I prayed for this day and it really came. I did it. He told us all his struggles through music and I seen how far he made it. Now it's my turn. I gotta keep making Cole proud."
It turns out that the two also met 10 years ago when Cole promised his fan he would attend the ceremony if she completed her degree in Arabic.
