Young Thug Said God Gave Him The Dress He Wore On The ‘Jeffery’ Album Cover

Apparently God May Have A Fashion Sense, Of Sorts Young Thug set the internet ablaze when his new album cover featured him fitted in a periwinkle colored dress. As Black Twitter vacillated on their feelings about his fashion choices, Thugger said it shouldn’t surprise anyone. His decision to wear the dress was, apparently, one of divine intervention but he’s been wearing girl’s/women’s clothing for a really long time. He discusses how his father used to discipline him for his fashion choices but he continues to wear what he wants because he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. via AllHipHop Young Thug has finally opened up about the controversy he recently caused by donning an extravagant gown on the cover of his latest mixtape release, No My Name Is Jeffrey . His statements are likely to turn more heads. “When I seen that dress, I felt like God gave it to me.” Thugger said when reflecting on the first time he laid eyes on the threads. In the artist’s interview with Billboard , he also gave a little insight as to the origin of his gender bender choices of fashion. “When I was 12, my feet were so small I wore my sisters’ glitter shoes,” he explained. The rapper then continued, “My dad would whoop me: ‘You’re not going to school now, you’ll embarrass us!’ But I never gave a f— what people think.” Thugger came close to breaking the internet when the cover of his project was released, as fans went into a frenzy, cooking up hilarious memes, while his Hip-Hop peers chastised his actions. Despite all of the backlash, Young Thug still managed to land in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 charts for the second time with the August 26 release. Thug is going to continue to do and wear what he wants and the sooner people let that go, the better off they will be.

Community Colleges Reaching Out To ITT Tech Students To Help Continue Their Education

    Community Colleges Are Reaching Out To Those In Need Last week, ITT Tech presumably ruined the lives of thousands of its students when they permanently closed the doors of every single campus in the country. ITT Tech’s credits tend not to transfer to other institutions , effectively costing both time and money of their student population. There might be some reprieve however, as community colleges are reaching out to Tech students to help them continue their educational pursuits. via AL.com Community colleges across Alabama are reaching out to former ITT Tech students after the institute’s sudden closure last week. Calhoun Community College will host an information session and open house on September 15 from 4-6 p.m. for students to meet with instructors and representatives from the school’s various programs. There will also be financial aid advisers and counselors available for more information about enrollment. “Our team has met for the last few days in an effort to develop a comprehensive plan as we work with those ITT students who decide to make Calhoun their choice in continuing their higher education goals,” Calhoun President Dr. James Klauber said. The event will be at Calhoun’s Decatur Campus in the Aerospace Training Center. Those interested can call Caroline Canestrari at 256-306-276 for more information or go to  calhoun.edu. The school announced that it is shutting its doors today after being investigated by multiple agencies and after the U.S. Dept. of Education said it would stop federal loans for the school’s students. Another school, Athens State University, said on its website  that the school is “committed to assisting students wishing to transfer to Athens State to complete their education.” “As a regionally accredited, state-supported University, we are constrained by guidelines that sometimes limit our ability to transfer all credits from all institutions. Nonetheless, given the hardship that the ITT closing has placed on so many students in Alabama and across the country, we welcome the opportunity to review transcripts and course descriptions on request for any possible transfer of credit to our programs,” the school said. Former ITT Tech students have not been notified if their credits from the school will be transferable. Students interested in speaking with an Athens State counselor can call 256-233-8100 or go to athens.edu  for more information. According to WALA  and WHNT , other schools helping ITT Tech students include the Alabama Aviation Center at the Brookley Field campus in Mobile, J.F. Drake State Community and Technical College in Huntsville, and Oakwood University in Huntsville. This is definitely an awesome move and all the colleges involved should be commended for providing a helping hand at this time.
