The actress went wide-eyed with excitement and expressed her love for J. Cole's music.
"I have to say hi to you. I went and saw your show in LA," she told him as she went in for a hug. "Unbelievable, I'm such a big fan."
J. Cole returned the compliment telling Fishel, "Me too, likewise. Good to see you."
