Meek Mill has had a bad few months between beefing with Drake and 50 Cent, but now he has decided to focus on something more important: his education. The Philly rapper announced yesterday that he has enrolled in college and will be attending sometime soon.
Meek took a trip to Overbrook High School in Philadelphia to give some words of encouragement to the students. According to BET, while there, he announced that he would had enrolled in college, "I just enrolled in college myself," he said. "I took it upon myself to do that because I want to be the best at what I do. I want to be the best at what I do so I enrolled in college to educate myself, get myself more knowledge because knowledge make money, being educated makes you money and I like making money and taking care of my family."
Though he never mentioned where he would be going to college or when, this is a huge step for the rapper. Between having a few stints in jail and beefing with Drake, 50 Cent and a few others, this seems to be the right step in a positive direction.

This isn't the first positive thing Meek has done this week. He donated 60,000 bottles of water to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan to help out with the contaminated water crisis in Flint, Michigan. According to Billboard, he also challenged 50 Cent to match a $50,000 donation he wanted to give. 50 Cent responded by amping up their beef.
Meek is awaiting his February 5th hearing for violating his probation. Let's hope his acts of kindness help his case!
