Paging Dr West! Kanye Getting Honorary Title From Art School

Rapper reveals he's set to receive an honorary doctorate...

Kanye West made his mark in the music industry as The College Dropout, but now that's all about to change.

The All Day rapper has revealed that he'll be receiving an honorary doctorate degree in May during a recent interview with Clique TV.

"I was a gifted artist since age five and won national competitions and went to art school," he said in characteristically not-very-modest style.

"I'm actually getting an honorary doctorate on May 5th from the Art Institute of Chicago."

Yeezy famously dropped out of Chicago State University at the age of 20 back in 1997 to focus on his music career - and used that educational sacrifice as the name for his groundbreaking debut album.

Dr Dre better watch his back once Kanye's wearing that mortar board!
