Rapper Nick Cannon, who has just enrolled as a full-time student at Howard University in Washington DC, says he will continue in education until he gets a PhD.
The 35-year-old comedian has revealed he will do further education after he completes his degree in strategic legal and management communications at Howard, reported Female First.
"I'm not just going to start, or stop in 2020. I'm going all the way to get my PhD. It's something I've always wanted to do, and I truly feel like it's the next stage in my life.
"Entertainment is outstanding but I truly want to utilise my voice, I want to be a part of the community, and I'm always encouraging young people and being an advocate for education, so I need to make sure I get mine first," he said.
Speaking about the course he recently enrolled for, Cannon said, "It's really dealing with, obviously, the law and also the business that we're all in with communications. I felt like I was already into the communications field in doing this for a couple decades, why not get behind it?
"(I want to) understand the legal aspects of it, and the strategic management part so I can continue to build my empire," he added.
