Of course, Drake still texts his favorite teacher from high school. (Tell me you can't imagine him rapping about it in a song)
On Tuesday (October 23), the "In My Feelings" rapper shared a screenshot of his latest conversation with his teacher Kim, whose listed as KJ in his iPhone, to Instagram, giving fans some much-appreciated insight into his pre-Champagne Papi days. "My favorite teacher in high school still texts me as if I am coming to class this week and I love her for that 💗," he captioned a shot of their cute exchange, which featured a screenshot of an article about him scoring his "12th Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 of 2018, Passing The Beatles For The Most In A Single Year."
"WOW!!!!! That's pretty incredible!" Kim wrote alongside the screenshotted article she sent. "I often wonder what your 16/17 self would think. Pretty awesome! Congrats!" Drake then responded: Hahahahahahaha... I don't think my 16 or 17 year old self would comprehend I would just want a Nestea and to figure out how I can turn my 61% into a 73% ASAP." How sweet!
As fans know, Drake (whose real name is Aubrey Graham), dropped out of high school in 2002 despite needing only one credit to graduate. However, in 2012, Drake returned to high school to complete said credit and earned his high school diploma. He tweeted about the experience after achieving the milestone, writing, "97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!" He additionally thanked his teacher, Kim Janzen — who assumingly is the "Kim/KJ" he was texting with in his screenshotted conversation above — "for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!! OVO SOUND," he explained. (Talk about coming full circle!)
