Years after dropping out of real school to join the fake school on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Drake tweeted on October 17 that he had finally received his high school diploma. Now video has surfaced of his speech at the Jarvis Collegiate Institute’s graduation ceremony in Toronto. The 26-year-old rapper played the role of the elder, giving his take on the “stay in school, kids” inspirational speech, centering on what he calls “the art of following through.” “I had left a gaping hole in my story of following through,” Drake said before dedicating his diploma to his mother, who is a retired teacher. Watch the speech up top.
