J. Cole Finds Himself In The Middle Of An Affair

J. Cole is known for telling real-life stories in his music video and his new visual for self-produced record “She Knows” is no different.

Starring Rochelle Aytes and Harold Perrineau, this cinematic clip follows the life of a teenage boy who is drowning in a world full of secrets. He steals money from his father, ditches school and spends the day at the park drinking, smoking and skateboarding with his friend. After a police officer interrupts his ditch day, the young boy runs home to find his mother having an affair with none other than J. Cole. (This may be the origin of his “Mama, did you f— J. Cole?” line on “Trouble.”)

“She Knows” is the third video lifted from the Roc Nation rapper’s sophomore album Born Sinner. Check it out above and tell us your thoughts below.
