Rapper J. Cole has announced that he is no longer planning to retire from the music industry. Although he previously intended for his seventh studio album, The Fall-Off, to be his final project, he stated in an interview with GQ that the word retirement is no longer in his vocabulary.

He attributed this change of heart to the success of his subsequent sold-out arena tour. Cole is currently performing on the The Fall-Off World Tour, which includes more than 50 arena dates across over 15 countries, with scheduled stops in locations such as Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, and Johannesburg.
