J. Cole isn’t just pushing the envelope lyrically with new album ‘KOD,’ he’s “going there” with the visuals too.

Not to be mistaken for “just another cameo,” Hart’s appearance is noteworthy because the song makes overt reference to his very real cheating scandal.

And it’s not something the accompanying clip shies away from.

Hart is seen dealing with the repercussions of his actions, including being given the cold shoulder from passers by. The end take-away? To “choose Wisely.”

And while she’s been liberated from that drama and even gone on to start her own label (in partnership with Interscope), she’s celebrating all that made her journey. The ‘Leaks, Covers, & Mixtapes’… literally…on tour.
