Drake Takes Time to Earn High School Diploma

Looks like all that time Drake spent playing a high school student on Degrassi: The Next Generation paid off -- the 25 year-old rapper just got his high school diploma.

Drizzy, 25, took to Twitter to share the news that he graduated high school, writing, "97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school."

It's not exactly like Drake needed the high school diploma -- he's been doing pretty well for himself without it -- but you have to give him credit for seeing his education through.

He had plenty of love for his teacher too, tweeting: "Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!! OVO SOUND."

Drake's song Crew Love touches on his lack of education (but being no worse for the wear because of it), as he raps: "I guess we'll never know what Harvard gets us/ But seeing my family have it all/ Took the place of that desire for diplomas on the wall."
