Oprah Winfrey proves her generosity once again by gifting a college student with a new cellphone and cellphone case.

Two students got a chance to film a short video with Oprah as she was leaving Morehouse College, listen to what was said.

Hey Oprah,” Yessoufou can be heard saying, as he poses next to Oprah Winfrey's car. “Hey,” “That’s me.  she responded "That’s me in your cracked phone.”

Hey Oprah,” Yessoufou can be heard.“Hey,” she responded, before adding: “That’s me. That’s me in your cracked phone.”

The student posted the video which went viral with over 2.5 million views.

Early next morning Yessoufou got a direct message informing him that Oprah Winfrey would be sending him a brand new phone. 

Oprah already has this phone for you, and it's my job to make sure you get it.

On October 18th Yessoufou received his NEW phone 11 with a phone case and a sweet message from Winfrey herself, “Dear Olufemi, We can’t have you out here viewing the world thru a cracked screen or a cracked cover.”
