Congratulations to Spring Class of 2014 and Dr. Sean "Diddy" Combs this weekend as he made his commencement speech at Howard University's Spring 2014 Commencement.

Diddy also received his honorary degree!

"Throughout my life, I have rushed through some of my great moments," he told the crowd, clearly savoring the occasion. "I promised myself if I ever reached this moment I would take my time."

Despite his success, Combs said there have been times when he wished he'd had a degree.

At Howard, there was controversy over the selection of Combs as a graduation speaker. Some students was unhappy that the entertainer and philanthropist had been selected; Diddy left Howard before getting his degree.

"If I didn't leave school early, I would have been more prepared," he said, recalling moments in board rooms when he wished he'd completed that economics course and memos that would have been more polished had he finished his studies.
