The Syracuse Orange men’s and women’s basketball teams will not be the only individuals in the spotlight come Friday’s Orange Madness event. Rap artist Jadakiss will be joining the festivities on October 21. It’s a none-too-often treat for Orange fans at the season-opening event. Wale was the last major performer to join Orange Madness, but that was all the way back in 2012.
Jadakiss is not just another performing visiting Syracuse, however. He’s actually a long-time SU hoops fan himself, making this a special visit for him this Friday. He briefly spoke with SLAM magazine about his fandom back in 2012:
SLAM: I saw you at the Big East Tournament reppin’ for Syracuse, how long have you been a fan of them?
