See J. Cole give a lot of money to kids selling candy

While the debate about who the better rapper is, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, or J. Cole, will probably go on forever, one could say that Cole is the nicest to his fans out of the three. For a while now, the North Carolina rhymer has been associated with going the extra mile for them. The latest example is a video that shows him giving $500 to a group of New York City kids who were selling candy.

Cole can be seen walking up to the three kids and having a conversation with them. From the way it looks, the Dreamville artist didn't try to rush the interaction, he took time to hangout. The video doesn't show Cole giving the boys cash, but he reportedly gifted them the $500 through Cash App.

After the clip made the internet rounds, many praised the "Middle Child" rapper for his kindness. "Man for the people," someone wrote when No Jumper posted the video. "JCole really got a good soul. Say what you want about him, but you can’t take that from him," wrote a second person. "Meanwhile, your favorite rappers don’t even want to take pictures with you," a third comment reads.

And that's another thing about Cole: He's been known to take photos with fans when approached in the street. Sure, many other celebs do the same, but it appears that he does more than quickly posing before walking away. He actually chats with the photo-seekers and engages with them. Like in June of this year when the gifted lyricist was riding his bicycle around New York and stopped for a small group, taking photos and signing autographs for them.

But while commenting under the video of Cole giving the kids money, some brought up his apology to Kendrick Lamar. Earlier this year, Cole released the Lamar diss track "7 Minute Drill," which was a response to the Compton artist sending him and Drake a shot on Metro Boomin and Future's song "Like That."

Cole apologized for the track in April at his Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, something that might be hard for him to live down. Still, he may always be given credit for being a good guy, which might be even better than being called the best rapper.
