Congrats are in order for Atlanta rapper Lil Baby who just graduated from college… but not any ol’ college. Lil Baby, who’s real name is Dominique Armani Jones, is officially a Harvard University man!
Although the rapper is known for keeping his business close to his vest, the internet can’t get enough after finding out Jones went back to school to get his degree at Harvard’s esteemed Business School…yes, indeed!

Back in March, fellow rapper Veeze took to his Instagram story to show his love and support for Jones for going back to school. He wrote “My twin really went back to get his degree at Harvard so proud of my brotha.” The heartfelt message caught most of us off guard, but now it seems Jones is finished with his degree in Business Administration, and to celebrate, his family had a special surprise in store.
