This viral challenge is J. droll.
The hip-hop Twitterati have devised an amusing — albeit ridiculous — way to kill time while the nation anxiously awaits 2020 election results — riffing on the name of 35-year-old rapper J. Cole (whose full name is Jermaine Lamarr Cole).
The punny pursuit is currently blowing up on social media.
“J Cole is freezing: J Cold,” wrote one Twitter hip-hop fan to the tune of 2,900 likes.
“J Cole took my wallet: J Stole,” quipped another about Cole, who was accused in June of dissing fellow rapper Noname in his hit single “Snow On Tha Bluff.”
Some more risqué remixes included “j cole smokes some weed: j bowl” and “J Cole does drugs: J Coke.”

Another social-media wordsmith chimed in: “J Cole working out: J Swole.”
Not to be outdone, one Twitter wit followed up with: “J Cole eating pineapples: J Dole.”
Many participants even alluded to the still-to-be-decided 2020 presidential election.
“J Cole predicting who’s next president: J Poles,” read one topical — but misspelled — Tweet.
Many snarked “j cole counting Nevada’s vote: j slow” in reference to the nationwide impatience over the pending Nevada voting results.
The challenge’s crown jewel was undoubtedly: “J Cole reading books: JK” — an apparent jab at the fact that the hip-hop star is admittedly not an avid reader.

The rap star has yet to comment on his viral name game.
However “J. Cole” isn’t the first celebrity name to spawn a social-media challenge.
Podcast host Joe Rogan received a moniker makeover in 2016 with riffs ranging from “toe rogan” to “doe rogan” along with pics of the comedian’s face superimposed over the aforementioned objects.
