Born Tauheed Epps, the Feds Watching rapper was a basketball prospect before taking up rap. While at North Clayton High School in Georgia, the rapper, who admitted he was stubborn revealed he graduated second in class despite his shenanigans and extracurricular activities.
A promising athlete, he gained a scholarship to Alabama State University where he played for their basketball team.
“Truth be told, I was a felon before I was old enough to drive, vote, do a bunch of that sh*t,” he told the Daily Beast.
“But that don’t define who I am now, because I’m a success story. Me getting a scholarship and going to college, that had a lot to do with me being smart. In Georgia, they had a thing called the HOPE Scholarship where, back then, all you needed was a 3.2 grade point average. I could’ve stayed in Georgia, sold dope, and went to school, but I decided to sell dope and go to school somewhere else.”
He, however, transferred to Virginia State after his first year where he eventually graduated.
