In a tweet, he wrote, “AND I KNOW SCHOOL JUST STARTED AND I WANNA TAKE CARE OF 5 KIDS TUITION FOR THERE FIRST SEMESTER OF SCHOOL !!! WHY NOT!!!!!”
He followed up his original tweet by clarifying that he wanted to pay tuition for five students that attend historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). He even dove into some of his family history, and shared that his father went to Prairie View A&M right here in Texas, while his mother attended Grambling University in Louisiana.
