J Cole or Wale: Who is taller?

Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, globally known by his stage name Wale, is an American rapper and singer who is 5 feet 8 inches (1.78 m or 178 cm) tall and is therefore 4 inches shorter than J Cole.

Wale originally came to public attention in 2006 when his song 'Dig Dug' became a hit in his native Washington, DC, which helped him achieve popularity as he continued to create songs for the local audience.

J Cole's song 'Lotus Flower Bomb' (featuring Miguel) achieved significant success, entering the Billboard Hot 100's Top 40 in 2011. This track received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Song and served as the first single for 'Ambition', his second studio album.

J Cole's height compared to wife Melissa Heholt

Melissa Heholt is J Cole’s wife and she is 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m or 163 cm) tall. She is 8 inches shorter than her husband.

Heholt is a wedding planner and also holds the position of executive director at the Dreamville Foundation, a non-profit organization initiated by J Cole.

Since the early 2000s, when they first met as St John's University students in Queens, New York, the couple has been together. The pair secretly wed in 2015, but it wasn't publicized until 2016 when J Cole unintentionally made mention of their marriage in an interview.

J Cole stated that he and Heholt were the parents of two sons in a personal piece that was published in The Players' Tribune. “I've been blessed with two sons, learned the delicate art of balance between parenthood and career," J Cole wrote in 2020.

The rapper also reminisced about finding out he would become a father for the first time in 2016, saying it "wasn't a surprise" to hear the news. He mentioned, "I had been taking steps to change my life for the past couple of years, and I felt ready,” J Cole said.
