Kendrick Lamar's College Days: New Photos Suggest He Attended UCLA
Newly emerged photographs indicate that celebrated rapper Kendrick Lamar may have attended college courses at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2022. The photographs, uploaded on February 26 to social media by a classmate, reveal the Compton-native rapper discreetly sitting in a lecture hall. In the photos, he is diligently taking notes and checking his phone occasionally, living the typical student life.
Classmate Chronicles Meeting with Lamar
The student who took the pictures afterward said they were surprised to find out it was Lamar. On Instagram, on the fan page Kendricklamarzz, they explained their initial bewilderment: "He was so humble and nice. I didn't recognize him at first—I just saw a few other students walking up to him for pictures, so I decided to take a few too.". It wasn't until later that someone told me who he was." This exchange is a testament not just to Lamar's accessibility but also to his groundedness, which is in stark contrast to his superstar status.
UCLA Officially Confirms Lamar's Enrollment
In a revealing twist crediting the new images, UCLA tweeted confirmation of Lamar's presence: "Photos from 2022, but the lesson stays the same – UCLA is where you level up." The confirmation by the university is an authoritative affirmation of the award-winning artist taking his studies further, with sources suggesting that he was likely taking classes in Psychology. This new information gives a broader view of Lamar as not just a talented artist but also as a person who is dedicated to learning and personal growth.
