Boston, MA – 

Q-Tip has received a prestigious honor from Berklee College of Music having been granted an honorary doctorate alongside jazz artist Ledisi and Puerto Rican bandleader Gilberto Santa Rosa.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday (May 11), the A Tribe Called Quest and Native Tongues legend shouted out his co-honorees while thanking the college.

“Thank you again to the folks at Berklee for the honor bestowed,” he wrote underneath a photo of him wearing a customary cap and gown, along with a scarf reading: “Black excellence.”

“What a great time to share w dear friend @ledisi and new friend @santarosalive and CONGRATS to the class of 2024! Im still pinching [pinching emoji] #berkleecollegeofmusic.”

Tip was honored for his “forward-thinking artistic vision, which merges rap, jazz, and other styles with socially conscious lyrics, as well as for his impact as a producer, actor, educator, and cultural ambassador,” according to Berklee.

Speaking in front of more than a thousand graduates at the commencement ceremony, the 54-year-old offered some words of wisdom to the graduating class.

“To choose this path [of the artist] is a courageous choice indeed. You are handed the task to be courageous in your personal lives, to find balance between intellect and instinct… to not let bad choices define you, but to refine you,” he said.

Check out Q-Tip’s (since-deleted) Instagram post, along with footage from the commencement ceremony below.

Thy will be joined by a slew of other music icons including Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Frampton, Foreigner and Kool & The Gang.

Blige reacted to the news on Instagram, writing: “Beyond Grateful!!!!!! This is incredible!!! God always has the final say!!!! Thank you to my fans all over the world!!!! Tears of Joy!!!!”
