Raheel Ahmad met Uzi in the mall some years back. On the chance encounter, the fan boldly asked the artist if he could help pay for his college tuition, to which Uzi agreed under conditions.
Ahmad’s Encounter With Uzi
Young Ahmad met Uzi in 2019. Without hesitation asked for the star’s help with his tuition. One thing is sure Ahmad is bold. And he stands as proof; it never hurts to ask. The most anyone can do is say is no.
And without a doubt, Uzi’s answer to Ahmad was surprisingly positive. According to a source, Uzi told the young man,
“90 grand? I could pay for that.”
However, as we know, nothing is without condition. Uzi also wasn’t planning on merely shelling out funds. So, he laid down a few stipulations.
“But this is the thing, though. If I pay for your college tuition, are you gonna finish college or are you gonna bullshit?”
Not only did Ahmad have to provide his word, but show proper proof he legitimately completed his coursework.
Ahmad Proves to Uzi, and The World His Word is Bond
So Ahmad’s response was to show Uzi he could do it. And he did.
In December, Ahmad got on Instagram and extended an invite to his graduation from Temple University with the simple line,
“I did it, Bro!”
And as an aside, Ahmad explains how Uzi’s promise kept him grounded and focused while powering through. In Ahmad’s words,
“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.”
Will Uzi Make Good on His Promise?
But according to sources, the artist has yet to make good on his promise. Ahmad is still waiting for Uzi to uphold his end of the bargain.
Yesterday Ahmad created another post, this time with him donned in graduation hat on the steps of Temple University. His message was also clear,
“I finally graduated bro, I told y’all I don’t bullsh*t. Can you now come thru 😅⁉️”
The World is in Wait
Now the world awaits to see if Uzi will keep his promise to Ahmad.
There has been no response from Uzi yet! Let’s hope he keeps his word as Ahmad certainly kept his. It would be a travesty to set up such hope in someone with no intention of fulfilling a promise made. FM Hip Hop will keep tabs on this story to see the outcome. We hope that the response is positive. Congratulations to Ahmad for showing what will and determination will do!
