One of the more bizarre trends in hip-hop is rappers promising to pay their followers' college bills...and following through and actually doing it! NICKI MINAJ did it back in May . . . and now LIL YACHTY is going to do it. He Tweeted, quote, "I'll be paying some tuitions this year. [I'll] drop details very soon on how you can get in on this. I love you students!"
He also said, "I wanna take a few lucky families back-to-school shopping. All information will be on my site. It's time to give back." These Tweets came after Lil Yachty was criticized for blowing around $150,000 on a new diamond chain and 100-carat pendant with his likeness on it.
