Although the scholarship was earned, some believe the funding should be stripped from the Iona Prep athlete and distributed to other students due to the hip-hop mogul’s loaded income.
UCLA’s spokesman Ricardo Vazquez said:
“There’s a misconception out there that somehow athletic scholarships would take away money from low-income students who need need-based aid. That’s not the case. Athletic scholarships are awarded strictly on the basis of athletic and academic ability.”
Late last year, the 42-year-old proud father of the 5-foot-9, 175-pound defensive back expressed:
“As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he love to do and is truly passionate about.”
Although the athlete received a Maybach worth more than $300,000 for his 16th birthday, he worked diligently both in athletics and academics to receive a full ride to the prominent university!
