“On May 17, 2025, I celebrated not just a graduation, but the woman I’ve grown into over the past 4 years,” Phillips wrote. “Thank you Morgan State for all of the experiences, opportunities, and connections I’ve made. Thank you to my family & friends for continued love and support & Thank you God for allowing me to reach yet another goal according to your will.”

“Minded My Own Business And Look Where It Got Me,” she added. “A Business Degree 💙🧡”

Jadakiss is building a legacy beyond music

With a degree in business, Phillips may be following in her father’s entrepreneurial footsteps. Outside of music, Jadakiss holds a position at Kiss Café Coffee, a family business in partnership with his father, Bob Phillips, and son, Jaewon Phillips, according to Black Enterprise.

Additionally, Jadakiss and Fat Joe announced their new podcast Joe and Jada on May 5. The first episode arrived a few days later, and the show’s YouTube channel already has over 90,000 subscribers so far.

“I’m looking forward to teaming up with Joe on this podcast and showing another side of my personality,” Jadakiss said about the podcast, per Black Enterprise. “We’ve been friends for a long time, so we have the right chemistry and foundation to make this a really special show. Everyone is finally going to get to hear what we debate and discuss all the time behind the scenes.”
