J. Cole's emotional performance of 'Love Yourz' has gone viral after fans linked his tears to the family of Collin Griffin, a young cancer patient he met years earlier after the teenager's wish was to meet the rapper.
A clip from Cole's recent Cleveland show showed the rapper visibly fighting back tears while performing 'Love Yourz,' one of his most recognised songs about gratitude, hardship and perspective. At first, some viewers were unsure what had caused the emotional moment. Others praised it as a rare display of vulnerability from an artist known for keeping his emotions private.
