Sean “Diddy” Combs was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University in 2014, in addition to delivering the school’s commencement speech.
The musician and entrepreneur attended Howard as a business major for two years before dropping out in 1990, but Diddy’s brief time there had a long-lasting impact on his life.
“Howard University didn’t just change my life – it entered my soul, my heart, my being and my spirit,” Diddy said upon receiving his honorary degree.
