André 3000 just added “Dr.” to his resume.

The Outkast rapper was awarded an honorary doctorate from Boston’s Berklee College of Music during their commencement ceremony on Saturday (May 10). He was honored alongside singer-songwriter #SaraBareilles.

In his speech to the class of 2025, André told grads,

“I’m really excited to hear how y’all hear things. I’ve always been interested in the next, the future.”

The moment comes during a season of recognition for André, as it was announced last month that Outkast will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
