Hip-hop media mogul/entrepreneur Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was the center of attention during Howard University?s Class of 2014 graduation as he returned to his alma mater to receive a honorary doctorate last Saturday (May 10, 2014).

Combs proudly shared his experience via social media as #DrCombs quickly became a top trending topic.

Dressed in full graduation regalia, complete with a gold tassel on his black cap, Combs told the audience that enrolling at Howard changed his life. And although he left the university before graduating, he never forgot his Howard family.

?It?s good to be home,? he said. ?I am humbled to be in such great company.?

He continued with a commencement speech that was thoughtful, funny and, surprisingly, sentimental.
