Kodak Black is going to college.

Kodak Black has been working relentlessly ever since Donald Trump pardoned him. The Broward County rapper’s unveiled a slew of projects, including Back For Everything and Kutthroat Bill: Vol 1. However, he also expanded well beyond the world of music. He built a long resume surrounding philanthropic efforts. He donated to various causes and provided air conditioners to housing projects in his stomping grounds of Broward County. Additionally, the rapper recently walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton. 

Clearly, Kodak Black has many things he wants to accomplish. However, it seems that higher education is also in his plans. In 2018, the rapper confirmed that he received his GED while incarcerated. “I just received my high school diploma today and although it is a big accomplishment for me I am yearning for more,” he said in an announcement. “I appreciate my teachers Mr. Williams and Mr. Ward for those times when I would get frustrated you worked diligently to make sure I had the right materials and was ready for this big day.”

Kodak Black Is Going To College 

After earning his GED, Kodak Black appears to be readying for his college years. The rapper hit Instagram where he announced that he enrolled at Arizona State University. He didn’t reveal what program he enrolled in. However, he suggested that he might have a few lessons for his profs. “Arizona beennn one of my states fun fact: I’m really enrolled in ASU college after getting my GED in jail I’m jus in love wit applying myself although money so long I can teach the school something,” he wrote. 

Kodak Black previously mentioned intentions to go to college over the past few years. After earning his GED, the Florida Gators invited Yak to their locker room to celebrate with them. The “Super Gremlin” rapper used the opportunity as a guest of honor to inquire about going to Florida University to earn his degree. “I got my GED, man, I’m trying to come to college,” he told the coach as the room erupted with laughter. Though he might not be heading to Florida University, Arizona State welcomed him with open arms. Check his post above.
