Kendrick Lamar, the Grammy-winning rapper, was photographed attending classes at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2022.
The photos, which surfaced recently, show the artist sitting in a classroom wearing casual attire. In the images, Lamar appears to be checking his phone and taking notes, indicating his participation in the class.

The photos were shared by TikTok user @alejandarainparis with the caption, "pov: just a normal day at UCLA." The user added in a follow-up comment that they did not recognise Lamar at the time of the photos, only learning of his identity later.
