Chance The Rapper Supports Kanye West's President Bid Despite Criticism

Chance The Rapper stands as one of Hip-Hop’s most beloved acts but he’s been known for making questionable moves with his platform in the past. Currently, the Chicago star is catching a flurry of criticism after publicly stanning for Kanye West and the producer’s alleged presidential bid in what appears to be an affront to Joe Biden’s campaign run. On Sunday (July 12), Kanye West shared a new song and video titled “DONDA” which features his late mother, Dr. Donda West reciting KRS-One’s “Sound Of The Police” before the gospel-tinged track. In the song, West sounds politically charged, calling out false leadership, the prison system, and shouting down racism while honoring his mother and grandmother within.  RELATED NEWS: Kanye West Announces Run For President

“Are u more pro biden or anti ye and why? I get that you’ll want to reply that you’re just tryna “get trump out” but in this hypothetical scenario where you’re replacing Trump, can someone explain why Joe Biden would be better??” Chance wrote.
