Teaching is no easy feat, especially when you're trying to keep a room full of teenagers engaged. But one teacher from Mzansi showed us how it's done by pulling out an unexpected trick—mentioning Puff Daddy. It’s a lesson in creativity and knowing your audience, and it worked like gangbusters.
The TikTok video, uploaded by the teacher under the username @riaandurand, has already garnered 2.6 million views, 562 million likes, and over 8.2 million comments. Clearly, people are loving the teacher’s innovative approach to classroom management.
How the Teacher Got His Students' Attention

“The next person who talks falls on Diddy’s list.”
Now, if you're unfamiliar with the reference, Puff Daddy's infamous "list" is a humorous nod to the rapper's alleged roster of enemies. For these students, the threat of ending up on Diddy's bad side was enough to silence the room instantly. It’s a clever tactic that showcases the teacher’s ability to connect with his students on their level.

When Teachers Share Exam Papers That Spark Joy
In a different but equally entertaining story, a teacher recently shared a hilarious exam paper on social media. The student in question scored a big fat zero, but not because of lack of effort. Instead, the answers were so hilariously off-base that they became internet gold.
For instance, when asked to name the items in the pictures, the student labeled a goat as "Ronaldo." While we’re sure Ronaldo appreciates the comparison, it wasn’t exactly the answer the teacher was looking for. These kinds of moments remind us that teaching isn’t just about academics—it’s also about embracing the humor and humanity of it all.
