Chicago’s Chance The Rapper has more than social media watching his moves. The hip-hop star has sparked some serious interest from colleges after revealing an intent to hit up Atlanta for an education.
Chance initially made things spin after going to Twitter this past weekend to admit he’s down to get some college under his belt.
The Twitter announcement almost immediately sparked a playful college beef.
Last week, Chance made headlines after landing on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list.
The Chicago native has been subverting the music industry’s traditional business model since he was a teenager, declining to sign with a major label and instead releasing his own streaming-only mixtapes, featuring unique strains of hip-hop splashed with sunny spirituality. Last year, he won the first-ever Grammys (three of them) for a streaming-only album and received $500,000 to debut the tracks exclusively on Apple Music. He’s also a celeb endorser for Nestle, Nike, and even Twitter. (Fortune)
A few days ago, Chance linked up with hip-hop heavyweight Future.
