cRap star Maggot busted for lying about "degree"

I's be educated n' shit!

(Crap)per Roxanne Shante, who at the age of 15 rose to (C)rap superstardom and followed up her recording career with a hefty academic record. Best of all, the education was free, since a loophole in her Warner recording deal was that they'd pay for her schooling for life.

Today, Slate.com reported that her story of attending Marymount College and then pursuing a PhD at Cornell was false, and that no such deal with Warner ever existed. Here's what Roxanne had to say about the article and its author:

"I'm just gonna let it go ... What he's trying to do is trying to get himself known, to get the popular sites to read after him. This is not a $5 billion Ponzi scheme. What would make someone go so hard and heavy at that?"

Shante has since said that she received a Masters, not a PhD from Cornell, though Slate's research found no evidence of either.

Maaaaaaaaahn! We'se be ejiphsins n' shit!
