Drake finally graduates high school at 25. YOLO.

[3am scholar]

Rapper Drake has graduated high school at the age of 25.

The Canadian star dropped out of Toronto's Forest Hill Collegiate Institute as a teenager after landing an acting role on TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation, and he went on to pursue his love of music.

However, Drake hit the books over the summer in a bid to complete his studies - and on Wednesday, he revealed to his Twitter.com followers he had passed his exams.

In a series of posts, he writes, "97 per cent on my final exam. 88 per cent in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!

"Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!!"

Five months for a GED, lol.

its a good move. not that it will make him any richer but high school is basic as hell.

Did Nas ever go back and finish?

this....of course he didn't need it, but good to say you accomplished this. Even today a high school diploma isn't a sure thing

Drizzy dropped out of  high school..but starred in Degrassi?..whatever but good for him tho.

 

[iwearnikes]

That's what's up. At least he was able to finish high school and I had a feeling he was going to be a rapper since he first rapped on degrassi when he was on that wheel chair. Anyone remember that?

 

[Master Zik]

He should name his next album "High School Graduate"

Forreal, you acting like he just stopped going because he was heavy in the streets or something . . .

He dropped out because he had to choose between making money with Degrassi or continuing school . . . hasn't finished GED because obviously he's been busy with his current job.
