Philadelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert agreed to pay a Temple University student’s $90,000 tuition, and it was all captured on video. On Thursday night, Uzi was spotted making his way through a department store when a fan shouted out a bold question:
“Uzi! What’s good, bruh? “Can you pay for my college tuition?” asked Ahmad before Uzi stopped in his tracks to ask him how much. “Ninety grand, I go to Temple, bro,” replied Ahmad.
“Ninety grand? I could pay for that,” said Uzi before revealing the terms of his donation, including that the student finish school. “But this is the thing, though. If I pay for your college tuition, are you going to finish college or are you going to bullshit?”
After Ahmad vowed to keep his end of the deal, Uzi then asked for his Instagram handle and told him to send all his transcripts. “If you don’t show me, you won’t get 90 grand,” he said.
Earlier that day, Uzi shared a series of tweets in which he opened up about his grandmother’s health issues. Uzi told his followers that she had been in the hospital for months, receiving treatment for a brain tumor, but was on the road to recovery. The rapper admitted he was feeling a mix of emotions, but was confident his grandma—the woman who raised him—would completely pull through.
