Chicago’s Chance The Rapper is second-guessing his friends. The hip-hop star has shared some strong words about feeling a way toward affiliates over sexual violence stories.
Chance went to Twitter Wednesday (January 9) and didn’t hold back on pointing the finger at his unnamed pals.
In the past 2 days I’ve heard too many stories of domestic abuse, sexual violence and rape perpetrated by ppl I called friends. I am ashamed of yall. These stories will be amplified and your victims will receive the justice they deserve.

A few days ago, Chance publicly apologized to disgraced singer R. Kelly‘s victims and cleared up published comments he made in a Rolling Stone interview.

Anyone mentioning that I have black women in my family is deliberately missing the point. Regardless of the proximity of beneficial BW in your life, or being black yourself, we are all capable of subconsciously discrediting BW and their stories because its indoctrinated.

The interviewer also came forward to speak up on his remarks.
FYI, I conducted the interview with Chance in May. He spoke clearly and unequivocally in support of BW and the victims. https://t.co/uhTZT9TvEA

Rolling Stone later issued a statement explaining how the original article had been updated.
Editor’s Note: This article was originally written based on Chance the Rapper’s full quotes in Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly docuseries. Following the publication of the article, the rapper wrote on Twitter that his quotes were “taken out of context” and the entire interview above was provided. This article has been amended to reflect the full interview. (Rolling Stone)
