Eminem surprises 2017 Flint Graduates with a recorded message & a pair of headphones.
Eminem, a Michigan native, presented graduating students from Flint Northwestern, Flint Southwestern, and Flint Accelerated Learning Academy a gift they’ll never forget as a token of his thanks for their hard work thus far. On Tuesday, 230 Flint Community Schools students attended their graduation ceremony and they all got a huge surprise at the event. Detroit rapper Eminem appeared on the screen with a recorded message for all the students. The message says, “What’s up class of 2017? This is Eminem. I Just want to say congratulations to graduating seniors of Flint Northwestern, Flint Southwestern, and Flint Accelerated Learning Academy. Congrats to all your guys’ hard work, man. You earned this moment.”
All the graduates also received a pair of Beats by Dre headphones via Marshall Mathers Foundation. Watch the video below courtesy MLive.
“I thought he was just going to give his speech on the speaker and it just was going to be that,” Superintendent Bilal Tawwab said. “I greatly appreciate Eminem for giving out like he did. He didn’t have to and the fact that he can see so much potential in Flint and Flint students, it just makes the gift so much more worth keeping.”
