Looks like it's never too late to get a degree.

Rap's most famous college dropout will soon have a diploma to hang up in his office. Kanye West shared he'll receive an honorary degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in an interview with Clique.

"I was a gifted artist since age five and won national competitions and went to art school," Kanye said in the interview. "I'm actually getting an honorary doctorate on May 5th from the Art Institute of Chicago."


West briefly attended the American Academy of Art and Chicago State University before leaving school to pursue music at age 20. Of course, West released his The College Dropout album in Feb. 2004.
