Danielle Fishel was starstruck after meeting J. Cole in a heartwarming moment backstage at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
The "Boy Meets World" star, 42, shared a video on Instagram Monday of her introduction to the rapper, 38.
As Fishel is walking backstage, someone shouts out, "Danielle, I think J. Cole's coming."
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."
