J Cole in EA, OMG!

Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island befriending coconuts, we’re sure you’ve heard about the Ugandan TV host, Flavia Tumusime who turned down the sexual advances of American Rapper J Cole back in 2012. Tumusime, through a social media post revealed how J Cole asked to talk to her privately as she was attending the 2012 Big Brother Africa after-party. Why three years down the line, we can only guess. Barely a day after blogs highlighted the story, fans of the rapper have come outright attacking her.
But that’s just the cake. Ready for the icing with a cherry on top? NEWSPOT254 got wind that the rapper was in East Africa. He wasn’t as incognito as he thought. He was spotted at Kilimanjaro Airport by a fan who got him to pose for a picture. Seeing as how the American rapper kept the trip under wraps, NEWSPOT254 believe the trip was more of a personal nature. Next time J, head our way.
