Chicago wordsmith Chance The Rapper has taken a serious liking to the land of Kiwis.
According to Stuff.co.nz, during Chance’s first show in New Zealand, which took place yesterday (December 29), he gushed about the country and expressed his interest in moving to the island nation.
HipHopDX’s MC of the Year later revealed that he wants a house with a pool, a German Shepherd, and a local boo during his set at the Rhythm and Vines Festival in Gisborne, New Zealand.

For those who may have felt that Chance was merely hyping the crowd with his flowery comments, he later tweeted about wanting to move to New Zealand “in the next 15 years.”
The Windy City lyricist even offered a chart on the currency rate for the U.S. dollar in New Zealand.
I had an unforgettably good first time in New Zealand. I've decided I'll be moving here in the next 15 years, and bringing some black people
