Drake Delivers Speech At High School Graduation

    Shortly after taking his final exams and graduating from high school, Drake took the podium to give a speech at the graduation ceremony.

    The 26-year-old rapper graced the stage at Jarvis C.I in Toronto, Canada during graduation. During the speech, he thanked his teacher Kim Janzen for her role in helping him accomplish his goal.

    “I want to let you know today, as I stand in front of you, I get it. I get why this institution is in place for every single one of us. And it’s not necessarily about the books that you’ll read or the science or math equations that you’ll do because you may end up taking a path in life where a lot of the things that you’ll learn, you can’t necessarily fully apply. And that’s OK. It’s not about the popular kids, it’s not about the kids that don’t feel as popular, because all of that changes later in life.”

      1. in ontario canada commencement for high school is usually held in october or november, dont ask me why though

    1. hes 26 and he finally graduates high school and the world goes crazy. while another 26 year old who struggled to graduate is looked down upon. no hate just that people need to realize when to shut the fuck up and drake really needs to realize that.

      1. I DONT REALLY SEE THE WORLD GOING CRAZY ABOUT THIS…IN THE WORLD WHERE I LIVE MOST PPL DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS SHIT…UNLESS YOUR WORLD IS THE INTERNET HIPHOP SITES

    2. To give him the benefit of a doubt, I’m thinking Canada school years is like other countries and they go from early spring to the fall. That’s at least how latin american countries do it. My second guess is he took a GED class, third this was done for him alone, if the latter is true that’s some cocky shit to do, and I still don’t get why he didn’t do it while he was playing a high school student on tv. I’m sure the other actors had tutors on the set.

    7. He got his GED from a private tutor. HE didnt graduate high school. And he didnt goto any institution. Why is he giving a speech? He didnt accomplish anything more than what Amber on Teen Mom is trying to accomplish. The fuckery. It’s GOT to stop.

    8. “WAIT…THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY???”

      Don’t type in all caps. It makes you look angry and confused about what direction to take your life in.

    9. dude does something positive and speaks to the youth, and you guys are hating? would it kill the commenters on this site to be real for once and just give credit where its due…..?

    10. I REALLY UNDERSTAND THE MORAL OF THE STORY

      STAY IN SCHOOL & ACCOMPLISH GOALS

      BUT IF THIS AIN’T SOME JUICING THE MEDIA PRESS OP FCUKERY

      I DON’T KNO WHAT IT IS

      OL BOY COULDA TWEETED THE CERTIFICATE IN HIS HAND & KEPT IT MOVIN

    11. “COULDA TWEETED THE CERTIFICATE IN HIS HAND & KEPT IT MOVIN”

      True, but that would be too easy. Drake wants the entire world to know he graduated high school. Next to learning to tie your shoe that’s an amazing accomplishment.

    12. Don’t you guys find it sketch that Drake sounds like a homosexual/pretty boy white guy when he speaks but when he raps he tries to sound hella black and speaks with slang?

      1. How do you expect him to speak at his highschool graduation? A lot of rappers don’t sound the same when you listen to them speaking and rapping. What’s your point? His father is black and his mother is white. You’re probably and uneducated gorilla who speaks ebonics 24 sev!

    13. I’ll just have to keep making more of these post until my serotonin level spikes back up. I apologize in advance for the brief inconvenience.
