Lil Durk Awards Scholarship To Two Howard Students Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Durk has linked up with Howard University and Amazon Music toย give back.ย Funded through the rapperโs non-profitย โNeighborhood Heroes Foundationโ, the scholarship awarded two Howard students from Chicago provided them with $50,000 checks toward their freshman tuition.ย In an interview withย Billboard, the rapper said having this scholarship is comparable to having a Grammy. โMy team came together where we turned it up a notch. I wanted to come up with something that was different and impactful.โย ย โItโs stuff we never got a chance to do or somebody never did for us. A lot of people donโt do it as far as the music era that weโre in,โ says the rapper commonly known as Durkio. โIn my age range, itโs more toward, โLetโs go feed them turkeys, letโs go feed them meals.โย Are you more inclined to like an artist if you know that theyโre giving back in some way?ย
