Chance the Rapper is giving college a thought, tweeting Sunday that he was considering Clark Atlanta University. “I was tryna go to Clark ATL,” he said. “I’m still tryna go. Like not honorary, the full blown ya dig. Can someone help me sign up.”

Chance, however, unknowingly seems to have started a Twitter beef. Morehouse just couldn’t let Clark Atlanta shine and tweeted, “The AUC is a great place to be. Morehouse is an even better House to call home!”

The AUC is a great place to be. Morehouse is an even better House to call home! Welcome home my brother, we would love to have you in Atl.

Clark Atlanta University is the biggest institution in the Atlanta University Center Consortium, which includes Morehouse College. 

Either school would be lucky to have the rapper and we’re sure students would love to attend class with Chance. Guess we’ll have to see if the rapper decides to attend Clark Atlanta or goes with another university.

Chance is recently dropped a new song featuring his brother, Taylor Bennett, “Gimme a Call” and has a film, Slice, set for release this year.
