The Pulitzer Prize-winning musician Kendrick Lamar has unexpectedly returned to school, well, UCLA. When images of Lamar sitting in a psychology lecture at UCLA surfaced online, the internet exploded with laughter. It was disclosed in a widely shared tweet that Kendrick is enrolled in classes to "master his pen." Fans, of course, were thrilled by the news, especially the subsequent wordplay.

"So technically he's getting A MAJORRRR," a clever admirer joked, alluding to a lyric from his hit son, 'Not Like Us'.

Fans of Lamar know him for his deep lyrics, but it seems like this lyrical mastermind is keen on sharpening his mind in other ways too.

From the studio to the classroom: Fans react to Kendrick Lamar’s UCLA class pics

The internet was quick to respond with innovative tweets as soon as the news surfaced. The combination of Kendrick's rap career and his newfound status as a student had many followers resort to musical jokes and (Drake related) puns.

One tweet had fans chuckling, commenting,

“Drake would’ve been getting A minor,” poking fun at Kendrick’s rival, suggesting that Drake wouldn’t be pursuing something as ambitious. We're going to stick to this reading for journalistic purposes!

Another tweeted,

“Nah He Trynna B Sharp,” continuing the musical wordplay and implying that Kendrick’s intellectual endeavor was making him "sharper." It didn’t stop there.

Another user humorously admitted,

“It’s the fact that I shouted this for me,” clearly enjoying the unexpected turn of events.

One even compared the two hip-hop titans again with, “so Drake would never,” suggesting that Kendrick’s academic pursuits set him apart from his peers in a unique way.

Some fans doubled down on the pun game, stating,

“He could still be getting a minor lol,” referencing the musical concept of a minor scale while joking about the degree.

Others kept the humor rolling with,

“more like a certificate,” implying that maybe Kendrick’s classroom presence wasn’t exactly degree-seeking.

All in all, the fan reactions ranged from supportive to outright hilarious, making it clear that Kendrick’s campus visits were more than just a quiet study session—they were hit-tweet material for chronically online Twitter users.

Kendrick Lamar's classroom cameo: What's the significance?

What was Kendrick doing at UCLA, then? The rapper apparently took psychology classes in order to understand human behaviour better, according to reports. It is obvious that Lamar, a writer best known for his reflective, socially sensitive songs, would be interested in studying the human psyche from an academic perspective.

But the jokes about “getting a major” and “A minor” stem from Kendrick's viral, chart-topping hit, 'Not Like Us' - which was a diss track aimed towards rapper Drake. And well, we presume that Kendrick is probably doing a certificate course, but the A major/minor jokes just hit the note in this context (pun intended).

Despite the quick commentary from fans, Kendrick's interest in schooling is not new to the hip-hop community. Many artists have pursued degrees or taken classes for personal growth, and Kendrick’s move proves that even one of the most respected voices in rap can always find room to learn more. Whether or not he’s actually majoring in anything at UCLA, one thing’s for sure—he’s continuing to master his craft both in and outside the studio.
