Kim Kardashian tweeted a rare photo of husband Kanye West smiling as he picked up an honorary doctorate degree in Chicago.

Clearly over-the-moon about her other half’s latest accolade, the reality star posted the snap on Instagram on Monday.

She wrote: “Dr. Kanye West!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you baby & I know your mom would be so proud too!!!!.”

The rapper, 37, wore a cap and gown to attend the ceremony at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, flashing a rare smile as he took to the stage.

West attended the school back in 1997 after receiving a scholarship to study art, later transferring to Chicago State University to study English.

West recently said: "I was a gifted artist since age 5 and won national competitions and went to art school.

"I'm actually getting an honorary doctorate in May from the Art Institute of Chicago.”

While her husband was busy becoming a Dr, Kardashian was in Brazil launching her new fashion collection for C&A.
