Chance The Rapper whips out a blue tailored suit to serve up some presidential fab for EBONY magazine’s June 2017 Black Music issue.
The three-time Grammy Award winner, who has been dubbed as Chicago’s Hip Hop savior, is all about serving the community, raising $2.2 million for Chicago Public Schools after a very disappointing meeting with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. With all the philanthropic work he does for his hometown, it’s no wonder folks are calling for him to run for president of the United States.
So, would the “No Problems” rapper ever consider to run for office?
“I would never run for any office or government position,” he told the magazine after cracking a smile. “I’m not into it. I think politics is a reason why a lot of stuff doesn’t get done. There’s a lot of favors, and a lot of people are held back by their intentions of being re-elected or the things that they owe their party or constituents. I think when you’re in my position as an artist, I can say what I want and talk about the issues that matter.”
We totally agree.
Outside of being an inspirational emcee, Chance is transitioning into a movie star as he gears up for a role in a new flick titled Slice. Making a move into the Hollywood scene can be tricky, but Chance relies on his discernment.
“There are a lot of spaces where you feel like God isn’t around,” Chance said. “I got some vibes. You have to listen and be aware of your discernment, and if somebody tells you to leave? Then get the f*** out of there. You’ll feel it … You just have to listen to God.”
Drop those gems Chance!
