Lil Pump commented on the honor saying:

"You don’t gotta graduate from Harvard to do this speech. I dropped out, so they called me like they called the guy that made Windows and PCs and shit before I was born. You just need a cap and gown, which I got. When I found out, I was happy to give everyone a lesson. I’m all about the youth. Yes, they are the future. This is a preview of my speech, one word: ESSKEETIT!!!!!!”

Among some of the other notable names that have spoken at Harvard are Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steven Spielberg.
