Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Throughout his career, American rapper and songwriter J. Cole has received more than ten awards, over one-hundred nominations. Cole has been nominated for three American Music Awards, has won eight BET Hip Hop Awards from a total thirty-seven nominations, has won one Billboard Music Award from seven nominations, has won two Grammy Awards from eighteen nominations, and has been nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards, six NAACP Image Awards, and nine Soul Train Music Awards.
