The same was not just happening on stage; it happened even in his academic life. 

When he applied for undergratuate courses, almost every university rejected him. 

Taking to social media, the singer has confessed that he attempted to apply at many institutions which trashed his applications. 

However, lack would later come his way as he was accepted at the University of Pennsylvania commonly known as Penn or UPenn in the US. 

“Almost done with school then start my masters. Never thought I’d love Uni after every Uni turned me down till @Penn accepted my application. #SmartyPants #ivyLeague #Upenn #NomaNi lazma ni upgrade Akili,” he posted.
