Even rappers can be fanboys. J. Cole has apparently recorded a song called 'I Disappointed Nas' after well, disappointing one of his idols.

Nas and his attorneys are asking a judge to throw out a $10 million lawsuit filed by a promoter who was kidnapped because the rapper didn't show up for a concert. The suit stems from an incident in which Nas was a no-show for a concert in the South African nation of Angola in December 2011...
