Rapper BIA immediately sets the record straight about her connection with superstar J. Cole. The Massachusetts rapper addressed a viral rumor involving J. Cole, who is married, with blunt honesty, cutting through speculation that followed their 2022 collaboration.
After a social media user asked if she had slept with the Dreamville leader, BIA shut it down immediately. “No & I have never slept with a married man ever. Fake tea,” she wrote.
The response spread quickly, ending the chatter with clarity and conviction. BIA is currently in a public relationship with NBA star Cam Whitmore.
The rumor traced back to “LONDON,” the fan-favorite record that paired BIA with J. Cole at a pivotal moment in her rise. While the collaboration elevated her profile, it also sparked unfounded gossip that she says never matched reality.
BIA recently explained how the record came together, emphasizing professionalism from start to finish. She said J. Cole initially brought her into the studio for a different song. She recorded a verse, met him, and prepared to leave.
BIA Clears Up J. Cole Rumors
Before heading out, she asked if she could play him something else. That song was “LONDON.” According to BIA, J. Cole listened and reacted immediately. “I love this song,” she recalled him saying. “This is my favorite song.”
A week later, she followed up by sending him the track. “Just sending this if you need something to listen to,” she told him. J. Cole replied with interest, asking if he could “take a stab” at it.
BIA said the answer was easy. “Take a stab? You can have it,” she said, describing a smooth exchange built on mutual respect. The feature came together naturally, without pressure or expectation.
At the time, J. Cole was in a prolific feature run, appearing on tracks like Benny the Butcher’s “Johnny P’s Caddy” and YG’s “Scared Money.” His presence on “LONDON” reflected momentum, not favoritism.
By addressing the rumor head-on, BIA reframed the conversation. She addresses integrity and the reality that many women artists face. The collaboration stands as music first, always.
J. Cole is set to release his presumed final album, The Fall Off, on Friday (Feb. 6).
