Chicago’s Chance The Rapper is picking sides in the Mo’Nique and Netflix war. The hip-hop star has voiced his support for the comedian amid recent shots and accusations fired off at the streaming giant about unfair treatment.
This weekend, Chance went to Twitter to reveal he’s riding with Mo and black women deserving more.
Im with Mo’Nique.

Anybody remember when Mo’Nique filmed a special in a women’s correctional facility?

Black women, you deserve better.

Last month, Hollywood superstar Jada Pinkett Smith came to Mo’s defense amid boycott backlash.
You don’t have to like Mo’Nique’s approach. You don’t have to agree with her boycott but don’t allow all of that to make you blind to the fact that non-white women and impoverished white women are underpaid, underrepresented and undervalued EVERYWHERE by EVERYONE.

As a community, we should be supporting the light she is shining on this truth.
