J. Cole won't be the only musical act in Charlotte, as Jenna West of Sports Illustrated noted Meek Mill will perform as the All-Star teams are announced before the game. Anthony Hamilton and Carly Rae Jepsen will sing the United States and Canadian national anthems, respectively.
The halftime headliner is a seven-time Grammy Award nominee and released the single "Middle Child" this month.
He also had a Twitter interaction with LeBron James on Thursday:
James will be there to watch J. Cole at halftime should he choose as one of the game's 10 starters. He will be joined by Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant and Paul George.
