SEAN COMB’S GRAMMAR MIGHT BE LACKING, BUT HE’S A BILLIONAIRE

Howard University caused quite a ruckus when they asked Sean “P Diddy” Combs to give the commencement speech this year. After all, Combs probably flunked out his sophomore year, but went on to incredible success. Howard won’t back down despite complaints, so Diddy will speak. Meanwhile Diddy’s son Justin Combs got a full football scholarship to UCLA, and he also had a 3.75 GPA when he started there last year. Justin takes after his football playing father and it’s a challenge because he is only 5’7”, but so far he’s doing okay and he’s become a valuable player.

Education High School Howard University Mary J Blige

MARY J BLIGE THOUGHT GETTING AN EDUCATION WAS A SNAP

Mary J Blige was a high school drop out, but recently a New York high school showed respect for her accomplishments by presenting her with an honorary high school diploma. Mary was flattered and immediately announced that she would be attending Howard University this fall in pursuit of a bachelors degree. Apparently she naively thinks that getting an education is simple and uncomplicated when you’re a celebrity! No cramming for tests or worry about grades is necessary. When the news was checked out with Howard University, school officials were embarrassed to admit that she had NOT been accepted as a student and in fact had not even applied for admission. Details! Details! Somehow we doubt that an “honorary high school diploma” would be enough to get into ANY college. Being a celebrity DOES open a lot of doors – does that include doors to a university?
