Boosie Badazz had been coming to the city since he was 14 years old, and the city has remained supportive of him down to his “stanky drawls.” But Boosie’s aspirations for college aren’t only about walking campus with a backpack on as he pushes 40 but also continuing to challenge his brain.
“I wanna feel normal,” he said. “I missed that part of my life. So I wanna enroll and try and walk down that thang and go to class and try my brain. ‘Cause I still have matter up there that needs to be explored.”
Boosie’s attempt at obtaining a college degree after initially missing out due to life and a career in rap follows a growing trend in the culture. In 2020, Nick Cannon graduated from Howard University with a degree in Criminology.
