Heaven Epps, the eldest daughter of 2 Chainz and his wife Kesha Ward, has been accepted to Howard University and plans to enroll this fall.
The news began circulating in late December after several hip-hop and culture-focused social media accounts shared posts celebrating Heaven’s acceptance, with photos and congratulatory captions quickly gaining traction. While 2 Chainz has not publicly commented on the news himself, the posts drew widespread praise from fans and peers across social platforms.
Born on July 26, 2008, Heaven is the oldest of the rapper’s three children. She has largely stayed out of the spotlight, though she has occasionally appeared in her father’s music and social media posts over the years. In past interviews, 2 Chainz — born Tauheed Epps — has repeatedly emphasized the importance of education, often speaking about the significant financial and personal investment he and Ward have made in their children’s schooling.
Heaven attended private schools in Georgia, part of an academic path her father has openly supported. 2 Chainz, who previously attended Alabama State University on a basketball scholarship, has frequently credited education as a key priority in his household.
Social media posts announcing Heaven’s acceptance included a clip of the rapper taking his daughter courtside at an Atlanta Hawks game, which fans described as a celebratory moment ahead of her next chapter.
Howard University, a leading Historically Black College and University based in Washington, D.C., is widely known for its influence across politics, culture and the arts. The school counts Vice President Kamala Harris, Thurgood Marshall and Phylicia Rashad among its notable alumni.
Heaven is expected to begin her freshman year at Howard in fall 2026.
