In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Chance shared that he has been to Ghana several times this year and even took kids with them for their own field trip. Chance plans to have his inaugural “Black Star line Festival” in Accra, Ghana, on January 6, 2023. 

In an attempt to make the festival a success, Chance and fellow Chicago rapper Vic Mensa have teamed up with United Airlines to provide accessibility. United Airlines, which has had limited flights to Ghana, is now offering discounted fares to the country for a year. 

Chance also says creating partnerships while creating the festival is what he cherished the most.

“Creating partnerships has been a really, really dope thing. A big part of it is being able to work with different people and figure out how we can come together to create something that’s for the people,” Chance said.

Other artists joining Chance and Vic for the festival will include Erykah Badu, T-Pain, Jeremih, Tobe Nwigwe, and more.
