A black college graduate’s mic drop moment went viral in a video. Media Take Out learns that the video showed her grabbing the microphone from a white professor who apparently didn’t allow her to say her full name.
Kadia Iman,who has more than 18,000 followers on TikTok, is seen snatching the mic from the stunned professor.
“I want the mic! Let go! You didn’t let me get my moment,” she said before mentioning her name to the audience gathered outside. ”I’m graduating today. I don’t like how you snatched the mic out of my hand, so today is going to be all about me!”
The graduate, clad in a pink-topped cap and black gown, then drops the mic and storms off.

After the video went viral, and she faced a backlash on social media – the recent graduate responded.
“To everyone saying I should be embarrassed or I’ll never get a job … I’m a black woman in America,” Kadia Iman, a digital content creator and OnlyFans model who apparently graduated from LaGuardia Community College, said on social media.
“I am always in the right … u will not gaslight me into thinking I’m the bad guy. I did it for girls that look like me. Love u,” she added defiantly.
On Wednesday, Iman posted video on TikTok — where she has over 18,000 followers — of her snatching the microphone out of the hands of the white woman, who tried to fight her off but quickly lost her grip, on the campus of Queens College, where the ceremony took place.
