Justin Timberlake has received an honorary doctorate from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston and they all had powerful words and lessons to share with the graduating class. Missy Elliot and Grammy-award winning composer also received the prestigious degree.
“I don’t do surgeries but I could probably work out some prescriptions,” Timberlake began his speech. He then reportedly told the crowd he hopes to “look around and see this graduating class” in the music industry, adding, “Meet me at the studio. I want to see y’all!”
The 38-year-old entertainer then shared a photo of himself on Instagram, with his beaming face shielded by the diploma.
