Over 400 students today got a big suprise in Chicago, as Rap star Nicki Minaj took over their school as Principal for the day. The LaGuardia HS of the Arts (FAME) alumni visited the Collins Academy High School as part of MTV’s Get Motivated challenge to help improve the school’s daily attendance rate.Nicki actually did more than just visited the school, she help taught anb English class as well as rewarded 3 students with $10,000 towards their college education Later in the day Nicki held an assembly with MTV’s own Sway calloway to honor the students and teachers accomplishments.
When asked about why Nicki took part in this program this is what the rapper had to say. “I am a young, female mogul before I am an artist. As a business woman there isn’t a single day where I don’t use my education or acquire new knowledge to ensure my success,” Nicki told the students. “Regardless of where you are today, with education you can take yourself where you want to be. That’s why I am working with the Get Schooled Foundation. They are finding innovative and exciting ways to bring that message to schools like the Collins Academy.”
