Chance has since jumped on Instagram to show off a personal congratulatory text message from Grammy-winning rapper Drake.
Back in December, rap newcomer Lil Yachty publicly revealed his intent to see Chance land Grammy gold.
Not gonna lie I'd love to see chance leave out the Grammys with his hands full. Love that guy.
