The Hip Hop breakout hit-maker is graduating from Wits University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Media and Anthropology with four distinctions.
As a result, she is the top third year Media Studies student, for which she will be awarded the Media Monitoring Africa Prize at a prize-giving ceremony on Monday, 14 April.
Lamayne was recently featured on AKA’s female empowerment remix for his hit song Baddest, alongside Fifi Cooper, Rouge and Moozlie.
Her PR manager also revealed in a statement that the rapper will be graduating with four distinctions.
“Lamayne will not only be walking away with her degree but she will also be awarded a Media Monitoring Africa Prize for Top Third-Year student in Media Studies by the Wits Faculty of Humanities,” read the statement.
Gigi Lamayne expressed great pride in herself when she learned of her great academic achievement.
“I’m really excited to be one of the few musicians with a degree and I hope that this motivates other young and upcoming musicians to take both their craft and educations seriously,” she said.
