The rapper had previously been awarded an honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism in New York in October 2020. However, his latest degree means he can accept positions as a professor and actually teach a classroom of students.<\/p>\n<p>Waka\u2019s academic achievements come after he pivoted his brand to focus on mental health initiatives following the death of his young brother Kayo Redd by suicide in 2013. Waka has since made it his mission to spread love and positivity, and in turn has donated to numerous charities. During a sitdown with Akademiks on his\u00a0<em>Off The Record<\/em> podcast, Waka even said he fully regrets glamorizing such a dangerous lifestyle in his past music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-message_pane_message__message_label c-message_kit__labels c-message_kit__labels--light\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter__right\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_content\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\">\n<div class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\" data-qa=\"message-text\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\" data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_section\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI was bringing the lifestyle into rap; I wasn\u2019t supposed to do that,\u201d Waka said. \u201cPut it like this, I got electric wire \u2013 I\u2019m from where electricity hang at, right? But then I finally found out I can swim in water without getting shocked. So I started swimming, \u2018Oh this shit is cool, it\u2019s happy!\u2019 But one day I drop a plug in that muthafucka and everybody get electrocuted. So is swimming dangerous, or is what you did made me dangerous? Meaning, that people are bringing danger into a lifestyle that pulled them out of danger. So it makes it dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you can\u2019t tiptoe in one and walk in the other. You gotta put two legs, two arms and ya head forward. You can\u2019t do this and this. I can\u2019t do it. I can\u2019t just trust a n-gga trying to play balance street or music. Ain\u2019t no balance, either you\u2019re street or you\u2019re music.
