"J.Cole...Do you even care about the ville? "Those were words marred on award-winning rapper J.Cole's childhood home.The photo posted to Facebook surfaced over the weekend but by Monday morning, the black spray paint had been painted over.J. Cole's team would not confirm when the vandalism happened and Fayetteville police say the incident was not reported to them.The photo has been shared more than 300 times, with Facebook users arguing the rapper's involvement in his hometown. The irony of the phrase? Well, it was scribbled across the home that Cole planned to turn into a rent-free home for single mothers and their families."My goal is to have that be a haven for a family," Cole told New York's Combat Jack internet radio show. "So every two years, a new family will come in and live rent-free. The idea is that it's a single mother with multiple kids. I want her kids to feel how I felt when we got the house."
