At the age of 25, having released two platinum-selling albums and traveled the world over, rapper Drake has finally graduated high school.

At 15, the young Drake, born Aubrey Graham, dropped out of high school to appear as a wheelchair-bound character on popular Canadian television series "Degrassi: The Next Generation."

After putting in a purported five months of hard work, just a week shy of 26, Drake can now proudly call himself a high school graduate.
"97% on my final exam. 88% in the course," he tweeted. "One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!"

Drizzy also paid his respects to his teacher, who helped him pass his only remaining class.

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

He has yet to reveal his post-high school plans.

He should be very proud of himself. Good for him, showing kids it is never too late to go back and finish.

I say good for him. This is showing others it is never too late to get an education. This is being a good role model.

Congradulations. Be it at 99 or 25 or " the usual age ", any time you complete the task you should be lauded. And by the way " Graduates High School " is EXACTLY how the title of the article should be written-that's IF you understand good King's English. ( Don't you have more important things to hate?)

You naysayers, chill out. Plenty of children drop out of high school and we don't know the reasons. Maybe he was dyslexic and couldn't keep up so he got discouraged. My niece dropped out and then went and got her GED. At least he went back to school and finished.
