Chance the Rapper is setting the record straight and has apologized for tweets that defended Kanye West and came across as pro-President Donald Trump.
On Friday, Chance posted a lengthy statement on Twitter about his comments following West’s Twitter rants in which he said he supported Trump.
“Anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about my city and my loved ones,” he said. “Kanye West is not just a mentor or big homie to me. He’s my family.”

“Unfortunately, my attempt to support Kanye is being used to discredit my brothers and sisters in the movement and I can’t sit by and let that happen either,” Chance said. “I’d never support anyone who had made a career out of hatred, racism and discrimination.”
On Wednesday, the Coloring Book rapper tweeted that Black people don’t have to align themselves with the Democratic Party.
