19 year old walks away with $50,000 "twerking scholarship" from rapper Juicy J
15 January 2014
It’s always amazing how people tend to be oblivious of the most little things in life and choose to complicate and look at things their way, yet it’s the little things in life that count the most and as some Juicy J “twerking scholarship" participants got to learn that sometimes instructions count more than assumptions .
The rapper awarded a $50,000 "twerking scholarship" to a young woman who didn't even have to twerk for the hefty prize.
Last year he caused quite a stir when he announced that he was partnering with Worldstarhiphop.com to launch the "Juicy J Scholarship Foundation" competition. He tweeted at the time that he would award a $50,000 college scholarship to the “best chick that can twerk”
Surprisingly however despite the thousands of applicants who sent in their applications a 19-year-old single mom named Zaire Holmes won the prize and she did not have to even have to twerk to get noticed.
An aspiring doctor, Holmes described herself as a "motivated" and "hardworking mom and student in her submission video.
Nowhere in the scholarship application guidelines is "twerking" mentioned, and Holmes says she recognized that loophole from the get-go.
"A lot of people thought you had to twerk, but you actually had to read the rules," she said in the announcement video Monday.
“$50,000 is a lot of money, and I just don’t wanna waste it on just some chick twerking her ass,” the rapper also said in the video. He is later seen telling Holmes that he identifies with her.
"I came from nothing," he told the young mom. "You remind me of myself. When I was 19, I was like really, really working hard."
Valuable lesson for all twerkers out there , don’t just shake ass be sure of yourself.
