Kendrick Lamar was in attendance at his sister Kayla Duckworth's college graduation ceremony at the University of Arizona Global Campus in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday. At the event, the Compton rapper posed for pictures with his younger sibling, which have surfaced on social media. For the event, he rocked a blue jacket and baseball cap alongside Kayla who was dressed in a cap and gown.

It isn't the first time that Lamar was supported his little sister. He was also present at her graduation from high school back in 2017. In celebration of the milestone, he bought her a Toyota Camry at the time. “Thank you big brother for my graduation gift!” she wrote on Instagram while sharing the gift.

As for music, Lamar recently teamed up with Beyonce for a remix of her Renaissance track, “America’s Got a Problem.” He raps, “I’m an honorary Beyhive, let’s see why them diamonds don’t be fly." Also, he calls out the rise of A.I. music: "Even AI gotta practice clonin’ Kendrick/ The double entendre, the encore remnants/ I pop like ten men, the opps need ten men.”

He released his most recent album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, back in 2022. The project featured Blxst, Sampha, Taylour Paige, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Baby Keem, Kodak Black, and several more. It debuted at No. 1 on the chart with 295,000 album-equivalent units and helped Lamar embark on the most financially successful rap tour of all time with a total revenue of $110,886,026.
