AceShowbiz - Kanye West was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015. The rapper was honored after dropping out of college at age 20 to pursue a music career, which he later referenced in his debut album titled "The College Dropout".
At the time, the "Donda" artist was honored for his "transformative, genre-defying work." During his speech, he called the honor a "humanization" and promised his degree would make students' lives easier.
