J.COLE'S PLANNING TO RENT OUT HIS CHILDHOOD HOME TO SINGLE MOMS FOR FREE

J. Cole is using his wealth to give back to those less fortunate, looking to help
single mothers with families by renting out his childhood home to them...
For free. His Fayatteville, N.C. home, which is the inspiration for the
title of his new album 2014 Forest Hills Drive, was a major factor in his life. After his parents divorced, his mother was
forced to move into a dangerous trailer park that Cole says was his "first glimpse of the hood." So when his family was
finally able to move into his now-iconic childhood home, it
was an excitement he'll never forget--something he wants
other children to experience too.
"What we gon’ do, we still working it out right now," he
explains his goal for the home during an interview with The
Combat Jack Show . "Obviously it’s a detailed, fragile
situation I don’t wanna play with. My goal is to have that be
a haven for families. So every two years a new family will
come in, they live rent-free."

He continues, "The idea is that it’s a single mother with
multiple kids, and she’s coming from a place where all her
kids is sharing a room. She might have two, three kids,
they’re sharing a room. She gets to come here rent-free. I
want her kids to feel how I felt when we got to the house."
On that note, Cole took the opportunity to tell fans giving the
home unwanted attention to understand what he's trying to
turn it into... A.K.A. back off.
"By the way, tell people to stop going to my house and sitting
on my roof taking pictures," he said. "And they stealing the
fucking street sign!"
