The chant comes from Kendrick Lamar's 2024 diss track Not Like Us, released during his feud with Drake, where the line 'tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor' works as both a musical pun and an accusation. Crowds began shouting the drawn-out word at concerts, and clips of those moments spread across TikTok and social media, turning it into a reusable punchline. It remains popular because the double meaning is instantly recognisable, even to listeners who do not follow the feud closely.

Kendrick Lamar's drawn-out 'A minor' chant from his Drake diss track Not Like Us, widely used in memes and edits to mock a rival or call out shady behaviour.
This clip captures Kendrick Lamar stretching the word minor into a long, mocking chant over the pounding beat of Not Like Us, with the crowd-style energy building as each syllable drags out. The vocal is taunting and triumphant rather than angry, landing like a punchline after a beat drop and making listeners instantly recognise the diss. Played on its own it feels like a verdict, confident, playful and a little ruthless, which is why it works so well as a reaction to someone being caught out or exposed in a video.
