Drake Graduates High School, 10 Years After Dropping Out

Young Money Cash Money Billionaires rapper, Drake, can finally say he is a high school graduate.

Legally called Aubrey Graham, the artist tweeted yesterday with excitement that he finally passed his finals and earned his diploma.

"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!"

The rapper dropped out of high school at the age of 15, to build his acting career when he pursued a role on Canada's "Degrassi: The Next Generation" in 2009.

He played Jimmy Brooks in the TV series, a boy who was a victim of a school shooting and ended up in a wheelchair.

After that, Graham came out strong as a rapper, when he signed to the YMCMB recording label and sold 5 million albums.

For the past couple of months, the 25-year-old took time to complete his credits at Vaughan Road Academy in Ontario, which is a good explanation for his absence in the music industry lately.

Graham acknowledged his teacher, who he said guided him in the process.

He tweeted: Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!! OVO SOUND."

The 25-year-old rap superstar ranked No. 6 on "Forbes" Hip-Hop Cash Kings List, as he earned $20.5 million from May 2011 to May 2012.
