Harlem, NY— Amid the overwhelming emotions in the beautiful Riverside Church, J.Cole snuck past the crowd and waited for his cue.

After Anika Noni Rose serenaded the audience with her original reduction of his “Be Free,” the rapper is invited to the stage to have a powerful Q&A with “Creed” director Ryan Coogler.

The two men bounce ideas of each other on how to affect and implement positive change for the culture using their large influence.

Surprisingly, Coogler side struck Cole with “so how did getting married change you?” J. Cole was hesitant with answering the question but responded jovially with, “Man, you can’t do that.” Coogler replied, innocently enough, with “What they didn’t know?”

Cole then shrugged: “Well they know now!”

Safe to say Coogler got Cole to spill the beans and it is confirmed the Fayetteville star is married.
