“Mwanaume ni Akili,” these are the words of Kenya’s hip hop star Octopizzo after graduating from the private Ivy League research university, University of Pennsylvania.
The Kibera rapper has been all bought that education over the last few months taking his undergraduate programme in Social Impact Strategy.
Octo, who inspired Kenyan youths a while back after revealing how he had been rejected by tons of universities before the UPenn admission, graduated on Wednesday, September 5.
And on Thursday, Octopizzo finally broke the news on his social media handles and continued to serve as an inspiration to young Kenyans.
He wrote: “Thanks to @uofpenn for the knowledge, happy to be a graduate in 2018, something that I already gave up on after high school…but education has no age limit. Never in a hundred years would I thought of even attending UPenn even as a tourist, thanks to the lecturers, thanks to my new friends, thanks to my family for the support and patience during my every now and then travels. Can’t wait to go for my Masters next and & where life takes me after that. So for my masters I’ll put it out there if you got any scholarships links hit me up.”
