Joey Bada$$ Talks New Residency at Columbia University & Creating a Safe Space for Men of Color


Billboard spoke to Bada$$ about his recurring mentorship, his new residency and creating a safe space for men of color.

Donning a fitted navy blue suit and with a cocktail in hand, Joey Bada$$ stands to address the lucky few patrons invited to dine with him inside New York’s lavish Caribbean fusion restaurant Tatiana By Kwame Onwuachi. Industry luminaries like KidSuper’s Colm Dillane, and Cordae can be spotted mingling amongst the crowd, but as Joey stands, a powerful hush falls over each table. While Joey also thanks everyone for attending, the Pro Era leader has another big announcement: Next semester he’ll be serving as the first Artist Scholar in Residence at Columbia University’s Edmund W. Gordon Institute.
