Waka Flocka has just been given an honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism.

The rapper, now holding a “Dr.” to his name, has joined a list of other artists who have also received doctorates — Kanye West, who received his from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; P. Diddy, Howard University; and Missy Elliot and Justin Timberlake, Berklee College of Music, to mention a few. Flocka’s Stories on Instagram shows candid moments of the rapper on stage receiving the honor, dressed in a black and red graduation gown with the cap.
