The 19-year-old was smart enough to create an award-winning music career that saw her collaborate with fellow rappers Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla Sign, and Tory Lanez. She was even nominated for Top Female Rap Artist at the Billboard Music Awards in 2018, Variety reported.

Oxford University decided to invite Bregoli to see what all the hype was about, bringing her to their campus for a Q+A session on numerous topics - including the $50 million she has earned as an Only Fans creator, her new scholarship fund, and the alleged abuse she suffered at Turn-About Ranch, per TMZ.

Ranch is a residential program targeted towards troubled teens in Utah and it was to Bregoli by Dr. Phil.

After the ranch received controversy, Bregoli took to YouTube to speak out about the abuse she suffered during her time there. Soon after, the rapper partnered with Paris Hilton - who has also been vocal about similar experiences as a young teen - to raise awareness for programs of this type.

After her Q+A, Bregoli took to the floor to receive questions from the students, who asked her about Ye's recent controversial remarks to which the rapper responded by shouting out a list of the controversial artist's biggest hits - which reportedly drew more applause from the packed audience.

Most importantly, the young star spoke about issues that are closer to her heart, including Bhad Scholarships scheme, which has been created thanks to a partnership with the Educapital Foundation.

The $1.7 million scholarship will allow selected students to receive postgraduate entrepreneurial grants and full scholarships.

Speaking at Oxford on Thursday (November 3), Bhad Bhabie said she wants to fund to provide help "young hustlers" starting their own businesses.

"We didn’t want to just give out tuition funds but also help the grads with startup capital to launch their own businesses. I can’t wait to see what these young hustlers do," the teen said.

Bregoli has joined a long list of notable figures who've all given speeches at Oxford University - including US Presidents Reagan, Nixon, Carter, and Clinton; Queen Elizabeth II, Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Malcolm X, Albert Einstein, Sir Elton John, Shakira, and Billy Joel.
