Will.i.am, the well-known rapper, will graduate from Harvard Business School later this year.
During an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” the 48-year-old performer stated, “One year, I woke up, and I was like, ‘I wanna go to Harvard.'” According to AfroTech, “I’m doing all of this business stuff, and I wanna make sure that I’m not just taking advantage of success but also disciplining myself to have further success.”
He stated that this is a full circle event for him because he did not have the opportunity in high school because he had already signed a record deal at the time.
Will.i.am told anchor Jennifer Hudson, “This will be my first time walking the stage,” adding that he has been getting the full school experience by living in a “regular” dorm.
The musician presented his new AI program, “will.i.am Presents the FYI Show,” which investigates AI innovation in pop culture, music, entertainment, technology, and global news. The artist’s AI messaging app, FYI, supports the initiative.
He stated in a news release that “The FYI Show is a celebration of creators, innovators, and their dreams.” Episodes explore into AI-powered projects, covering the What and How while also understanding the motivation behind them. FYI provides the necessary technologies, including AI, to help people realize their aspirations. An incredible journey awaits us!”
Earlier this year, the “Let’s Go” singer launched SoundDrive, a firm that gives consumers control over live music, at the global technology expo CES 2024.
SoundDrive generates and remixes tunes based on the driver’s speed and pace, creating “conducted by the road” music.
Mercedes-Benz will incorporate the new company’s technology into their electric EQ cars starting in summer 2024.
