I just found out about this myself and I'm disgusted. Since the 1990's she's been lying in interviews with the Source and XXL, saying she had a PhD & was working as a psychologist. To hear a sister was taking care of her biz and doing well for herself after her rap career ended impressed me and must've inspired many a young sister to follow in her footsteps. She's been exposed like a total fraud. Never lie to the media, the evidence lives on forever and will catch up with you eventually...

That is true. It has been reported that much of the story about her receiving her PH.D is fiction. I still love and respect her and her contributions to hip hop, but she shouldn't be lying about this.

First of all you people who callin her a bluff about her rhymes, unlike the women u listenin 2 this generation, SHE BATTLED RAPPED ONSTAGE AND SLAYED GROWN MEN.. Thats the problem nowadays we have ghostwriters now. Back in the '80s they killed it. And now we have people like drake and wayne and nicki and you guys put they ass on a shelf of legends. RESPECT A FEMALE THAT CAME UP AND FREESTYLED THROUGH THE GREATEST GOLDEN DAYS OF RAP. She was smart to go to school and get a education. RESPECT

This is a bizarre story. Why would she have lied for? It has to be about a deep regret to not have studied (when she clearly has the brain for it, just by making this story up). But I think that having the talent that she had, nobody will ever take that away from her. She should be in a Hall Of Fame. If she lied I forgive her because it's not the end of the world. Maybe an University should give her an Honoris Causa for wanting a diploma so much. She'd totally deserve one in the music field.

Warner does NOT "admit[] that she was signed to a subsidiary of Warner." Warner denies that it or any of its subsidiary labels had a contract with Shante. Warner says (and I have confirmed) that Shante had a contract with an independent label called Cold Chillin'. Warner distributed Cold Chillin''s records, but Cold Chillin' was not owned by Warner.

I am disappointed at the fact that this is a lie. I felt that this was the most inspiring story in Hip Hop, even more inspiring than Jay-Z's success. But I hope it doesn't discourage people from pursuing a higher education and really making something of themselves.

well put Williams1425! she was the ONLY FEMALE to do so & if u ask me Shante is STILL a BETTER rapper than most females to this day & i bet if we still had the rap battles; the female rappers today (except maybe Lil. Kim) still couldn't do what Shante did in her battles...LONG LIVE THE 1st FEMALE!

She hasn't stopped lying since she got exposed for this fake story. She lied about most of her life story in the "Roxanne Roxanne" movie. Even MC Shan exposed her in an interview. It was supposed to be a "Juice Crew" movie but she sold them all out and made it into a feminist movie at the expense of everyone else who was in the juice crew who had a much larger world impact with their music and life than she ever did. Her career ended when KRS dissed her on "The Bridge is Over" and as soon as she ran to Big Daddy Kane to *ghostwrite* a response ("Have a nice day" written by A. Hardy aka Big Daddy Kane) her career was over. She couldn't even write her own response because she was a phony.

to all y'all who got so much ignorant hatred in yourselves: she was very young, a teen mother, and trying to see past the popularity game to something more substantial and went to Marymount when she could've kept doing the lazy thing which is to rap, so kudos to her for that. she probably even felt the pressure of people looking up to her. it was probably that that made her lie. regardless, she inspired people, she contributed greatly to my childhood memories, and she probably felt trapped and didn't want to be seen as a failure. so many of y'all are so hardcore judgmental for something that really doesn't negatively affect anybody else but her but i bet if we looked in all y'all's closets we'd see skeletons and far less achievement, especially when you were her age. so cool out.
