While speaking at Northwestern University in Chicago this past Tuesday (March 8), Spike Lee called Chance The Rapper “a fraud.” The Chicago-based rapper later fired back at the Chi-Raq director via Twitter, calling Lee “lame” and “a liar.”

“Come on now This guy promoting this offensive unsuccessful flop of a movie … about the Southside…in fucking Evanston…” Chance said in a series of tweets, referencing the town in which the college is located in. “And then get mad when students at the screening challenge him on his sexist, and RACIST movie and he wanna point the finger at me. Boy. You are a lame. But more importantly a liar. Now stop tweeking for I get to releasing audio of you begging me to be in that trash ass movie.”
