Ugly God recently explained his decision to drop out of college and pursue music during an interview on the first episode of Inner Circle on the Cycle YouTube channel.
“It sounds so bad saying ‘he dropped out to be a rapper.’ When really like, you know, I made ‘Water’ while I was in college. I started getting these like business inquiries from people and having to fly out, do sh*t, talk to people—even doing shows or something here and there—and I just knew that would just f**king hinder my grades in school. And I was a school n***a,” he said. The Soundcloud sensation also explained how his decision wasn’t made because he was tired of education. “It was more of me putting school to the side because if I wanted to do this opportunity, that it probably wouldn’t last too long…There’s no coming to rap later. It’s a good opportunity, it’s been working out for me, and if it doesn’t or however long it lasts, that school or that university will be standing right there.. unless some f**ked up sh*t happens,” he continued. Ugly God’s project “The Booty Tape” peaked at No.27 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. He also has over 500,000 followers on Soundcloud.
