25-year-old rapper Toosii, whose existent nominate is Nau’jour percy aldridge grainger, has taken a break from his euphony career to join the Syracuse Orange college football team, he announced on social media on Monday.
Toosii's music career is as stellar as it can perhaps get for a 25-year-old rapper who dropped his first single on SoundCloud in 2017. But, little did his fans expect that his career would take a turn from music to sports, temporarily pausing a highly successful, multi-platinum music career that saw him touch several Billboard records.
"COMMITTED. For every kid who ever had a dream, make it reality. God’s will is the way and no one can stop it not even the devil," he announced to his 1.4 million followers on X on Monday. “When Coach Fran (Brown) called, I knew it was a sign from God. So, with that being said, Cuse I’m coming home.”
The sprawling music career as a rapper for Toosii has meant that he has made a significant amount of money from royalties, performances and sponsorship deals. Currently signed with Capitol Records, Toosii's net worth is estimated between $2 million $3 million- making him the richest member of the Syracuse Orange squad.
Although Toosii grew up in North Carolina, he was born and spent a significant amount of his childhood in Syracuse, watching the Syracuse Orange. He and his parents moved to North Carolina from Syracuse when he was 13 years old. He remembered his connection with the city as he announced his commitment.
"To be born in Syracuse and move to North Carolina at age 12 and haven’t been back since," he wrote. When Coach Fran called, I knew it was a sign from God. So with that being said, Cuse I’m coming home."
