<a href="/profile/wakaflockaflame" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Waka Flocka</a> is now a college man. 
Yesterday evening, the rapper was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism. 
He could be seen on social media dressed to the nines with a graduation cap and gown as he accepted the honor.

Flocka joins a long list of rappers who have also received similar honors from other institutions of higher learning. 
The world&#8217;s most famous college dropout <a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> was given <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-receives-his-honorary-doctorate-from-saic-news.15346.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">an honorary doctorate in fine arts</a> from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago while <a href="/profile/Diddy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Diddy</a> received <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/diddy-to-give-commencement-speech-and-receive-degree-at-howard-university-news.10174.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">his doctorate in humanities</a> after donating $1 million to Howard University, where he was enrolled as a business major before leaving after his sophomore year. 
Missy Elliot notably made history as the first rapper to be <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/missy-elliott-awarded-honorary-doctorate-from-berklee-college-of-music-news.79898.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">honored by the prestigious Berklee College of Music</a>, which she accepted alongside <a href="/profile/JustinTimberlake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Justin Timberlake</a>.
Regardless of the negative comments on social media directed at Flocka, an honor is an honor and we think congratulations are in order for Dr. Waka, who seems intent <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/waka-flocka-drops-a-psa-on-staying-successful-news.114720.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on simply staying positive</a>.
