LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) – A University of Louisiana at Lafayette student who just graduated is thanking rap artist Nicki Minaj for paying his tuition.
Three years ago, someone on Twitter reached out to Minaj with a request for the musician to help pay for college.
Minaj agreed, and a few dozen fans ended up taking Minaj up on the offer. One of them was Artavion Cook. He asked if she could help pay his outstanding balance of $1,300.
She did and this week Cook graduated with a bachelor’s in science in biology. Next he’s planning on going to medical school, The Advertiser reported.
