Lil Uzi Vert has been invited to one of his fan's college graduation after saying he would pay for his tuition. A fan named Raheel Ahmad is set to graduate from Temple University in Philadelphia next January. Back in 2019, he met the rapper who encouraged him to keep going. Raheel asked the rapper about paying his tuition and he replied with a list of terms he would need to see being met in order to do so.
Uzi said, “90 grand? I could pay for that.But this is the thing, though. If I pay for your college tuition, are you gonna finish college or are you gonna bulls***?”
He added, “If you don’t show me, you won’t get 90 grand. … You gotta show me proof.”
In a recent clip posted to TikTok and Instagram, Raheel said, “The time has finally come. I’ve made it through the four years of Temple, graduating with a 3.5 GPA. I’m sure you all remember this video of me asking Lil Uzi Vert at the mall if he could help pay for my college tuition. … I come from a big family and was raised by a single, widowed mother. Finances were always a struggle. After my dad passed away, we had to live paycheck to paycheck.”
Raheel continued, “You may not know this, Uzi, but the day that we met at King of Prussia mall on August 22nd, 2019, I was not in a good place mentally. But our one-minute interaction changed my life for the better. You have given me a sense of hope and optimism.”
