Drake Brings Out J. Cole to Perform “Middle Child”
On Thursday (April 11), Drizzy brought out the North Carolina rapper to perform "Middle Child" during one stop of the Toronto rapper's Assassination Vacation Tour in Europe.
In the bit of the performance we can see, the name of Cole's record label, Dreamville, is projected onto the stage at London's concert venue, The O2. While we don't get to see the whole thing, it definitely looks like the crowd was feeling Cole's presence.
This particular moment feels like a reward for fans who've been wanting new Drizzy and Cole moments. The two began their mainstream rap careers as very public friends, but they hadn't really been seen hanging out with each other in several years before December 2018. That's when the two popped up in a car together on social media, leading fans to think there was a new 6ix God and Cole track in the works.
