Chicago’s Chance The Rapper has really come up. The hip-hop star treated fans at his Open Mike event last night (January 30) to an unexpected appearance from comedian heavyweight Dave Chappelle.
Over the past few hours, pictures and clips from Chappelle’s surprise set have scattered across social media.

Chance recently talked about fatherhood and if he envisioned having more kids anytime soon.
“Not right now. It’s a lot to try and be a good dad right now. With all the distractions and all the things that I’m limited in doing by living in Chicago and being a person of notoriety. I don’t wanna tack on anything. I want to get my relationship with Kensli down pat and also just get older. I’m 23. I had her when I was 22. If I am gonna have more kids, it’ll be a blessing and I’ll accept it as a responsibility and a privilege, but I’m definitely not trying to have more kids right now.” (GQ)
In late December, Chance finally caved in and showed off the first public pics of his daughter.
