Chance The Rapper did some damage control via Twitter on Friday morning (April 27).
During one of Kanye West’s recent pro-Donald Trump tweetstorms, Chance seemingly defended his fellow Chicagoan with, “Black people don’t have to be democrats.”
But after seeing Trump’s latest tweet about Ye — which included a Chance shoutout — Lil Chano clearly felt compelled to clarify his political stance, while continuing to show compassion for the GOOD Music boss.
Trump wrote, “Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community – Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades – Legacy Stuff! Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history).”
Chance quickly shut the POTUS down with, “Nah that aint it yo.”
From there, the Grammy Award-winning rapper went into a long explanation about where he was coming from and apologized to all of his fans.
“Kanye West is not just a mentor or big homie to me,” he wrote. “He’s my family. No matter how much I disagree with him, it’s hard for me to watch people talk about someone I love—even if they were justified in doing so.”
He continued, “I didn’t speak up because I agree with what Kanye had to say or ’cause I fuck with Trump. I did it because I wanted to help my friend and ’cause I felt like I was being used to attack him. I’d never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism, and discrimination. So let my apology be seen in my future works, and let me make up for my poorly timed comments with immediate action and advocacy for those who need it most.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
His jevvish handlers told him to apologise.
MAN FUCK WHITE PEOPLE.
How do you man fuck a white person?
Pretty sure this wont get deleted like the anti semetic comments.
FUCK WHITE PEOPLE
Y’all say shit way worse. Theres a jevvish comment below. Didn’t see you say shit about that.
… Why? Why the hostility towards ALL white people?
This president and this group are dividing the citizens to distract all of us. All the back and forth hate is pointless. Just about all white people have black relatives and just about all black people have white relatives. These power tripping people are fucking up the whole country.
Some people say the cucumber tastes better pickled.
HELL YEAH FUCK WHITE PEOPLE. I see racist comments about us all over the internet.
My money is on Kanye to be the first American artist to perform in North Korea.
Chance just gained 100 bitch ass points..
Trump actually thinks black people are happy about the lowest unemployment rate in history…they never said they wanna work, just that they need more “help”…I’ve honestly never seen a positive black statistic go so unrecognized in the public eye, fuckin hilarious. Chance is just another moron on the long list of people who apologize for making an accurate statement…what a pussy
THERE YOU WHITE FOLKS GO AGAIN MAKING GENERALIZATIONS ABOUT A RACE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. JUST BECAUSE YOU LISTEN TO OUR MUSIC DOESN’T MEAN YOU KNOW OUR CULTURE.
Lol and what culture is that? Gang culture?
Nope the African American culture. Foh
You tryna be funny, but you don’t us to start describing white culture, I know you’re not man enough to handle it.
Bro that is the most blind statement of all Trump-era i’ve heard. Black folks want equal opportunity. Facts…not hand outs. But hell, I’d take a handout if they were given to me…look at the rich billionaires getting a tax break they don’t really need….what’s that?
Uh-oh! Free thinking black man roaming about! Everyone get him!
Chance can’t take the heat. Kanye can. It’s ok the cats out of the bag now. People are slowly realizing its ok to have their own independent thoughts *gasp*
Respect….Just like his brother is bisexual…he probably didn’t pray for his bro to be bi, but i’m sure he’ll go at it with anybody that criticizes his bro’s lifestyle.
His brother likes it in the butt
“Free Thinkers” don’t get used as pawns by White Supremacists. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He cared more about the likes, retweets, and trying to be associated with Kanye than he did the actual issue. He gave the GOP and Trump the exact sound bite they wanted and now they are going to run with it into the midterms. Trump always needs a black pawn and Kanye was the first in line raising his hand. The ENTIRE hip hop community should of shut him down. There is a line in the sand and either you’re on the right side of history or with the most racist administration in modern history. Choose wisely.
Way I see it if you don’t like what Kanye is doing or any other person for that matter. They have a right to say what they want but you as a person who has money also has a choice in what you plan to purchase with your money. If Kanye wants to support Trump, cool. You don’t have to get mad about it. Speak with your money. Don’t go to his shows or buy his products. That’s how you make a stance which is with your money. And you stick to it so if this dude tries to change his mind later naw i’m good stay with the same mindset you had before cause i’m not changing mine.
Do you actually think trump and everyone who supports him & maybe not 100% supports him is racist? Its actually confusing how anyone can come to that conlusion. I didnt vote for trump but damn i dont get all this…
Let me explain slowly to make it clear. Donald Trump demonstrated that he was a racist when he made several racially biased comments about latinos and blacks during his campaign. Now when you vote a person who is obviously racially prejudiced against another ethnic group into the most powerful office in the country, that qualifies as an act of racial aggression. When you commit an act of aggression against another race, yes that does make you somewhat racist. It doesn’t matter how you want to rationalize your electoral preferences, when prejudice gets thrown into the mix everything else becomes null and void. It’s about principle. Damn I’m white and I can understand this no problem why are the rest of you so slow?
Some of these black fools get around their white friends when they’re shucking and jiving for them and actually think they’re cool with them. No, dummy. They don’t even give you CEO jobs when you’re overqualified but real quick will promote their other white friends’ kids who don’t know shit about shit but are all in the family. Hell, they do just the opposite and question whenever you get any kind of job with authority. Donald Trump’s racist antics go back to the 1980s in New York City. If you rock with that, fuck you.
Not all Trump supporters are racists
But all racists are Trump supporters
Chance is a moron. Got nothing to do with the Democrats, it’s got to do with supporting white supremacists. Damage control ain’t working Chance, you showed you support white supremacists
It’s always the certain groups who will complain about racism and equality but yet they are the ones who use terms like “white people” , “black pawn” , and other terms that when used actually just promote racism and segregate themselves, the thing they think they are speaking out against. Be part of the solution or else what is the point of even saying anything?
You don’t get a pass chance. Yeah you done fucked up.
Chance back tracking like a floozy broad…no respecting for this loser
