Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson (Fast and Furious franchise) is following in the footsteps of a legendary radio broadcaster when he decided to pay the full tuition to Morehouse College for a young Compton, Calif., native, 21-year-old Lorenzo Murphy, also known as the popular Instagram personality “Zo The Movitator.”

Gibson is just coming off good fortune of his own as his newest album debuted at the top of the charts.  Murphy thanked Gibson for his generosity, posting a photograph of Gibson and Rev Run and boosting this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity as a “Man of Morehouse.”
