Heaven Epps, the daughter of rapper 2 Chainz, has been accepted to Howard University and plans to attend the historic HBCU this fall.
Her mother, Kesha Ward a.k.a Pea Epps, shared the news in December by posting a screenshot of the acceptance letter confirming Heaven’s admission to Howard’s criminology program for the Fall 2026 semester.
“Screaming to the top of my lungs. IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! @howard1867 thank you for accepting Heaven into Howard University. We are on our way! Bison Pride let’s go. So grateful and blessed to share my baby’s accomplishment,” she wrote.
Back in July 2025, Heaven and her family visited Howard during a college tour. Afterwards, her mother shared photos from the trip in which Heaven could be seen posing in front of the university’s “Howard Bison” wall.
In one image, she stands beside her mother, while another photo captures the proud parents posing together with their daughter inside the building.
Pea Epps reflected on the experience in an Instagram caption.
“College tour time. Took Heaven on a college tour, and Lord…I think she’s already made her decision. At this point, I have to step back and let God take it from here. I’m so proud of you, Heaven.”
The proud mom also marked Heaven’s recent birthday with a sweet message.
“I’m so proud of you, Heaven. You are truly a sweetheart. You have given me nothing but joy these wonderful 17 years on this earth, and I thank God every day for blessing me with you. I’m also so grateful He surrounded you with such amazing friends who came over and decorated for you. We love you, Heaven,” she wrote.
Howard University, founded in 1867, is one of the nation’s most well-known historically Black colleges and universities. Its motto, “Truth and Service,” has guided generations of leaders in fields ranging from law and medicine to entertainment and public service.
Heaven will join the university’s Class of 2030 when she begins her studies this fall.
