Remember back in 2018 when Drake gave a $50,000 college scholarship to one of his fans?

Well, that fan – i.e. Destiny James, who also appeared in his God’s Plan music video – has now graduated college with a Master’s Degree! And of course, the musician wasted no time in congratulating her for her epic achievement!

According to reports, 23-year-old Destiny James graduated from the University of Miami in May 2019 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health.

She then went on to continue studying for the course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has now officially completed her Master’s Degree!

“Mama, I mastered it. Daddy, I did it 🎓 4 days until I am officially UNC Alum,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of herself smiling and posing in her graduation attire.

And just like a proud friend or relative, Drake was on hand to congratulate her for her remarkable achievement…

“LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DES,” Drake proudly commented.

As you can imagine, Destiny James, who is originally from Denmark, South Carolina, didn’t expect that her life would go down this highly successful path.

Especially following the death of her father, who tragically passed away from lung cancer during her freshman year…

“If you would have told me my freshman year that I would be graduating from here today, I probably wouldn’t have believed it,” she wrote in a blog post on the University of Miami website back in 2019.

“I’m meant to be doing this work,” she added.

“Everything I went through was so worth it. Thanks to Drake, I’m probably stressing about classes and work, but I’m not stressing about tuition.

“I’m here to tell future ‘Canes to not be afraid of change and trust the process.”

Destiny James also gushed about Drake’s generous donation on her Instagram page back in 2018…

“Drake told me that he has read great things about me and appreciates how hard I’ve worked through so many trials and decided to give me $50K for my tuition,” she wrote.

“@champagnepapi THANK YOU SO MUCH!!’ You don’t understand what this means to me! I would’ve never imagined this happening to me.

“I’m just a girl from Denmark, SC that wants to MAKE IT and be somebody and for you to see my hard work means the world.

“Thank you so much. God I thank you. You are so great and amazing! Thank you for blessing me when I thought my hard work was going unnoticed. I’m living out my dreams. God’s Plan.”

Congratulations to Destiny James for graduating with a Master’s Degree!

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!
