Lil Uzi Vert Fulfilled Request and Paid Student’s College Tuition

Remember when some guy saw Lil Uzi at the mall and asked the rapper to pay for his tuition? That guy was Raheel Ahmad, a 20-year-old political science student at Temple University.

It was at the King of Prussia mall outside Philadelphia when Ahmed saw the “XO Tour Llif3” artist walking through the mall with his entourage. Ahmad pulled out his phone and recorded while asking for Lil Uzi Vert, whose legal name is Symere Woods, to help pay his college tuition!

“Yo Uzi, can you pay for my college tuition?” Ahmad asked in earnest as the group walked by, the video shows. Ahmad continued, “Ninety grand — I go to Temple, bro,” causing Lil Uzi to stop and turn around. With no hesitation, the rapper replied with, “Ninety grand? I could pay for that.” However, the offer to pay the tuition came with a stipulation. Uzi follows his agreement by saying, “make sure you show me all of your transcripts, everything,” he said. “Show me all your papers and everything, and you can get $90,000 from me.”

Since then the encounter may have been forgotten. However, RapTV was able to catch up with Ahmed for his graduating year. They interviewed him about the once-in-a-lifetime experience and Ahmed expanded on his conversations with Uzi. Furthermore, RapTV also asks Ahmed the question we all want to know; Did Lil Uzi actually pay the student’s college tuition? The answer to that is given to RapTV from Ahmed where he says,

“Ok so as of right now it’s in the process. I’m not allowed to specifically say anything, but I know when I graduate it’s going to be paid. Roc Nation has put down $20k. When I met him the second time he told me Roc Nation has already put down $20k.”

In an interview after posting the viral video, Ahmed acknowledged how “life can change in seconds.” He closes out with inspiring words, “It’s all a matter of mental toughness and focus. You got to just be confident in what you want to do.”

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
