"MORE THAN A HUSTLER, I'M THE DEFINITION OF IT" BOAST 24 YEAR OLD HEARTTHROB ANTHONY ADIGHIBE. THIS ACTOR, MODEL AND BUSINESS OWNER HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE HIS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN BROOKLYN, NY. NOW HE'S AMERICAN DREAMING ON THE ROAD TO TAKING OVER NEXT! MOST FAMOUSLY KNOWN FOR BEING 1/8 OF THE BET HIT REALITY SERIES "COLLEGE HILL - ATLANTA", ANTHONY WAS SEEING THE FLASHING LIGHTS LONG BEFORE THE CAMERAS OF BET EVER FLASHED ON.
ANTHONY WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN, NY ON DECEMBER 23, 1984. HE UNDERWENT TOUGH TIMES ADJUSTING TO SCHOOL DURING HIS FORMAL YEARS. THOUGH HE WAS THOUGHT OF AS THE CUTE KID AND WAS EVEN AFFECTIONATELY REFERRED TO BY HIS PEERS AS "GINUWINE" BECAUSE OF HIS MULTI-CULTURAL HERITAGE FROM A LIBERIAN/NIGERIAN FATHER(R.I.P. BOB ADIGHIBE 5/5/09) AND A ISRAELI/LIBERIAN MOTHER, STILL HE INADVERTENTLY WANTED EVEN MORE ATTENTION. HE DECIDED TO BE, LET'S JUST SAY THE "UNMANAGABLE" CHILD. AT TWELVE, ANTHONY AND HIS FAMILY SOON RELOCATED FROM BROOKLYN TO THE SUBURBS OF NEW JERSEY. HIS LIFE QUICKLY TOOK A TURN WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS INSTANTANEOUSLY THE FIXATION OF ALL HIS CLASSMATES. BEING THE KID FROM BROOKLYN, HIS CLASSMATES WERE DRAWN TO HIS CITY SLICKER CHARM AND HIS UNABASHED PERSONALITY. DESTINED TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION, ANTHONY ENTERED COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL WHERE HE LEARNED THAT HE HAD A WAY WITH THE LADIES AND HE USED IT EVERY BIT TO HIS ADVANTAGE "I WASN'T EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO MODELING AND ACTING AT THE TIME, I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN PLAYING FOOTBALL AND GETTING GIRLS" SAYS ANTHONY.
UPON FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL, ANTHONY'S OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL TALENT LED HIM TO DELAWARE STATE WHERE HE OBTAINED A PARTIAL FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP AND DISCOVERED HIS KNACK FOR MODELING. HIS MANNISH ATTRACTION TO SEEING THE FEMALE BODY LED HIM TO AN INTEREST IN MODELING BUT HIS FAILING GRADES TOOK HIM BACK TO ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE IN NEW JERSEY "A PLACE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE. WHILE ATTENDING ESSEX COUNTY COLLEGE, HE WAS FEATURED IN HIS FIRST FASHION SHOW FOR BLACK MEN'S MAGAZINE AND OTHERS WERE TO FOLLOW. ANTHONY HAD A TASTE OF THE SPOTLIGHT AND THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK. HE THEN SET HIS SIGHTS ON MOVING TO ATLANTA WHERE HE WAS SURE THAT A COLLEGE MAJOR IN MEDIA PERTAINING TO BROADCASTING WOULD PUT HIM RIGHT BACK IN FRONT OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS. APPLYING TO MOREHOUSE AND CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, HE SOON REALIZED THAT BEING ACCEPTED TO EITHER OF THESE HIGHLY ACADEMIC ACCLAIMED SCHOOLS WOULD BE NO EASY TASK! FORCED TO PULL HIMSELF UP BY HIS BOOT STRAPS, ANTHONY SOON ENROLLED INTO ATLANTA METROPOLITAN COLLEGE IN ORDER TO UP HIS GRADES.
AFTER A FEW SEMESTERS, ANTHONY WAS PROUDLY ACCEPTED TO CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY WHERE HE DECIDED TO MAP OUT HIS OWN DESTINY. AUDITIONING FOR VARIOUS REALITY TELEVISION SHOWS INCLUDING MTV'S REAL WORLD AND APPEARING IN MULTIPLE MUSIC VIDEOS, ANTHONY WAS WELL ON HIS WAY TO BEING DISCOVERED. BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL BET CAME CALLING THAT ANTHONY'S TURN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA TOOK SHAPE. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007, AT THE BEHEST OF HIS FRIEND AND MENTOR CHAKA ZULU, CEO OF DISTURBING THE PEACE RECORDS AND MANAGER OF CHRIS "LUDACRIS" BRIDGES, ANTHONY FOUND HIMSELF AUDITIONING FOR COLLEGE HILL THE SECOND TIME AROUND AFTER BEING PASSED ON DURING HIS FIRST INTERVIEW. FINDING OUT THAT HE HAD BEEN SELECTED TO BE APART OF THE CAST MERELY THREE DAYS BEFORE HE WAS TO MOVE INTO THE ROOM MATE HOUSE; ANTHONY EMBRACED THE OPPORTUNITY WITH OPEN ARMS.
ANTHONY IS SURE TO CLAIM HIS STAR ON THE WALK OF FAME THROUGH HIS MULTI-FACETED ABILITIES TO NOT ONLY SHINE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA BUT BEHIND THE SCENES AS WELL. OWNER AND CO-FOUNDER OF ATLANTA'S OWN HITTSQUAD ENTERTAINMENT, HE REALIZED THAT HE COULD CAPITALIZE ON THE COLLEGE PARTY SCENE IN ATLANTA TO SUPPORT HIMSELF. THE COMPANY WAS FORMED WHILE AT CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. LINKING UP WITH A FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL, ANTHONY INSTANTLY BECAME KNOWN BY HIS PEERS FOR THROWING THE HOTTEST COLLEGE PARTIES AND CONCERTS IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA.
RELENTLESS, DETERMINED, PERSISTENT AND UNSTOPPABLE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE THIS TRIPLE THREAT KNOWN AS ANTHONY ADIGHIBE. A MAN THAT HAS MANAGED TO MAINTAIN A MENTALITY OF FEARLESSNESS, STAYING COMMITTED TO HIS GRIND AND CREATIVE WITH HIS HUSTLE. HIS RESISTANCE TO "NOT" FOLLOW THE CROWD BUT TO COMMAND IT HAS ALLOWED HIM TO BLAZE HIS OWN TRAIL. THIS MODEL, ACTOR AND BUSINESS OWNER IS WELL ON HIS WAY TO SOLIDIFYING HIMSELF AS BEING THE NEXT BIG THING AS WE KNOW IT.http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z13/wegetzbusy/college
