Several months ago, Nau’Jour Grainger, better known by his stage name Toosii, said he would pause his music career to pursue his football aspirations. His pivot led to an opportunity with Syracuse beginning in 2026.

Grainger’s commitment to Syracuse was short-lived after the rapper later announced he would not join the program’s incoming recruiting class. Grainger pointed to recent comments made by Syracuse head coach Fran Brown about his scholarship opportunity.

In a social media post, Grainger argued that Brown's account of events leading up to his exit did not accurately reflect what happened. The 26-year-old later described the coach as a "bozo."

Thank you to the people who supported me as well, it never go unnoticed."
