According to representatives for Romeo, he is is the first nationally known active Hip-Hop star to receive a full athletic scholarship. READ MORE
Now that’s what I’m talking about, get that free education man. I wish Lil Romeo the best, he’s serving a great example right now. So if you ask me if he’s better than Bow Wow, then I’ll say – HELL YES (don’t ask me lyrically though because I could care less about their music).
I had no idea he was 5’11, Lil Romeo ain’t all that little!
Happy for him ..Always need a plan B Rome!!Rapping wasnt 4 ya boo…CONGRATS
BUT, all in all, I’m glad to see that he really wants to go to college instead of just rap and act.
Chrsitina, that was a very ignorant comment. I will soon have a Bachelors degree, but I don’t feel I am more “mature” than some who does not. A college education is not the determing factor of one’s maturity level or the way they behave. You are obviously looking for something to make yourself feel superior… Not going to college and working is actually more of an “adult” role than the traditional college experience (i.e. staying in dorm, meal plans etc).
YAY! NO MORE ALBUMS THEN? PLEASEEEEE, NO MORE ALBUMS!
thats good a young rich star (sexy not to mention) going to school. he gone have groupies every where.
I’m happy for Romeo, good for him, USC is a great school, and he’ll be a business major? Oh ahead boo, I wish him the best of luck!
I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY BLACKS THAT WENT TO COLLEGE AND HAVE THIS “IM BETTER THAN YOU” GOING ON WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE I KNOW SOME THAT HAVE WENT TO COLLEGE AND I MAKE WAY MORE MONEY AND HAVE ON HAND EXPERIENCE WHICH IS MUCH NEED WHEN GETTING A JOB!! SO TO START COMPARING HIM TO BOW WOW IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! COLLEGE IS GOOD BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE AND THE BLACKS THAT MAKE IT NEED TO UNDERSTAND ITS FOR A CAREER NOT FOR A RIGHT TO PUT OTHERS DOWN!!!!
I GUESS BEYONCE HAS A COLLEGE DEGREE TOO? I KNOW JAYZ DONT AND HE IS RICH AS HELL YOU GOT SOME DUMB ASS PEOPLE THAT WENT TO COLLEGE TO SO DONT GET IT TWISTED!!!
I’m a student at USC. I think that it’s great that this dude is going to school Yes college is not the only thing after high school but too many young black men don’t even think of college and I think that it’s a positive message to send to kids that yeah I have money, I’m a rapper but that doesn’t mean I can’t go get an education. I think that’s great & it doesn’t hurt that he’s going to my school.
. Alot of athletes are good students as well. Reggie was a really good student as well as a lot of other people. I think Romeo will do will at SC. Can’t wait to have him as a part of the Trojan Family.
going to school does not make romeo any smarter than anyone. if master p wasn’t his father he wouldn’t even have these opportunities. he can’t act, or rap(especially rap) If he wasn’t already a little star he would have probably not even got that much playing time at his high school. He would have ended up just like a million other dudes in America that can ball, but they couldn’t get a scholarship because there are much more talented people.
183, I dont understand how what I said was ignorant. I am in your same position, as a matter of fact I am graduating in 3 weeks. I said that college matures you in a manner in which nothing else can. Meaning there are other ways to mature but college is a unique experience. I never lived on campus, never had a meal plan, I work almost 30 hours a week, and the only person I live with is my roommate. Not to mention I got loan people counting down the days waiting on my ass when I graduate
Its a different state of mind when you’re in school and paying 900 dollars a class. Thats a hell of a price to just “feel superior” there are still plenty of immature people in college, but for me personally it was a growing experience that helped me mature, I cant speak for anyone else.
lil romeo allow to boy to play the and stop say fuck the is really making it stop hating this boy young and fresh to play!lol
WHY? WHY THA HELL WUD THEY GIVE HIM A FULL SCHOLARSHIP!?!?!? THA BOY IS A MILLIONAIRE! THAT SCHOLARSHIP COULD HAVE GON 2 SOME IN TRUE NEED OF IT. HE COULD HAVE SIGNED ON AS A WALK ON! IM NOT SAYING THAT HE DIDNT DESERVE THE SCHOLARSHIP, IM SURE HES A GREAT B BALL PLAYER, BUT DAMN HE DONT NEED A FULL SCHOLARSHIP

Have you guys checked out http://WWW.GLOBALGRIND.COM? I read about this story there first! It’s always good to hear about the hip-hop youth seeking higher education, especially when his father already has millions. Romeo understands the value of an education and is doing his thing. That’s what’s up.
