Now that Lil Durk has captured rap fame, he has a new feat he wants to accomplish: going back to academia and getting his high school diploma.

The Chicago rapper—who’s set to turn 29 next week—took to social media to share his intentions, saying “real life” skills are important to him.

I’m going to get my high school diploma I want to challenge myself on my goals and real life situations

“I’m going to get my high school diploma I want to challenge myself on my goals and real life situations,” Durk tweeted on Thursday.

This will be another notch on Durk’s already impressive resume. Recently, he was featured in the new Beats campaign that’s marking the introduction of a fresh A-Cold-Wall* collaboration. In the campaign, Durk is seen rocking the fresh headphones and talks about his connection to his hometown of Chicago.

Durk is far from the only rapper who set their sights on going back to high school to get a diploma. Last year, Quavo also achieved the milestone, posting his grad pictures to Instagram.

“Finally Can Say I Graduated High School Class Of 2020. We Lit 🔥 Now What College Should I Go To? 🧐 And To Celebrate We Gonna Drop SMASH TONIGHT 🔥🌊 BERKMAR HIGH NAWFSIDE BABY,” the rapper captioned the post.

Over the summer, Coi Leray went back to her alma mater of Montclair High School in Jersey to receive her honorary diploma.
