Local tax payers are OUTRAGED that Diddy's son Justin has accepted a full scholarship to UCLA worth $52k...
What's the big HOOPLA? Diddy's millions upon millions (to be exact approx = 500 mill)...people feel why should they help an individual who's father makes more money than they will ever see in their lifetime lifetime lifetime...
Sounds like haters...
UCLA has clarified that Justin's scholarship is based on his achievements (merit-based) not low financies (need-based), stating "There's a misconception out there that somehow athletic scholarships would take away money from low-income students who need need-based aid...That's not the case. Athletic scholarships are awarded strictly on the basis of athletic and academic ability."
Justin's momma Misa Hylton sounded off on the haters...
"You want to penalize my son for working hard and putting education first? Shame on you. He deserves to be rewarded..#blessed kid"
"This is just plain ignorant. You would never see white people carrying on like this. #blackonblackassault..."
"My son isn't taking money from a kid who NEEDS. He is on a MERIT BASED scholarship. UCLA has NEED based scholarships too."
"My son is his own man. He will earn his own way through life. I'm so proud of my baby..."
Justin, who maintained a 3.75 GPA in high school, spoke up for himself, too...
"Regardless what the circumstances are, I put that work in!!!! PERIOD"
"Regardless of what you do in life every1 is gonna have their own opinion. Stay focused, keep that tunnel vision & never 4get why u started."
Haters or does he need to up that scholarship?
