J. COLE has been slammed after furious fans had to wait three hours for his concert to start.
The rapper, 36, had large crowds queuing outside Greensboro Coliseum on Tuesday night.
Frustrated fans took to Twitter to share videos and photos of the long lines of people waiting to get in.
The gig - which is part of J. Cole's Off-Season tour - was set to kick off at 8pm, but didn't get going till after 11pm.
One fan raged: "With all this going on in Greensboro for the J. Cole concert, they need to refund everybody their money back cause that’s ridiculous. No way I’m waiting in line for 3+ hours."
Another added: "The concert was phenomenal but that wait was absolutely ridiculous @JColeNC get it together buddy."
A third fumed: "This is by FAR the worst concert experience of my life and I’ve been to multiple concerts through my life."
Greensboro Mayor, Nancy Vaughan, apologized to fans for the delay.

J. Cole angered fans further by rescheduling his upcoming concerts in Detroit to October 25 and Philadelphia to October 27.

"That s**t's a) embarrassing, b) I think about people's time. This is the first time this has happened to us. So I apologize for this s**t... I appreciate y'all for understanding."
