Chance The Rapper Claps Back At Spike Lee For Calling Him A ‘Fraud’

Chance The Rapper wasn’t pleased with comments made by Spike Lee during a recent appearance at Northwestern University in Evanston.

Lee referred to Chance as a “fraud,” calling the “Acid Rap” artist’s critiques of his “Chi-Raq” film a “punk a– move,” according to DNAInfo.com.

Lee said Chance’s father Ken Bennett was named deputy chief of staff and director of the Mayor’s Office of Public Engagement in 2014.

“He [Chance] was on the mayor’s payroll just like his father,” he said.

Chance went on a heated rant on Twitter, calling Lee a “lame” and a “liar.” He also threatened to release audio of Lee begging him to appear in his movie.

Months ago, Chance proclaimed in a heated Twitter rant that he was not in support of “Chi-Raq.”

“Let me be the one from Chicago to personally tell you we not supporting this film out here

“That s— get ZERO love out here. S— is goofy and it’s a bunch of ppl from NOT around here telling u to support that s—

“The people that made that s— didn’t do so to “Save Lives”. It’s exploitive and problematic

“Also the idea that women abstaining from sex would stop murders is offensive and a slap in the face to any mother that lost a child here

“You don’t do any work with the children of Chicago, You don’t live here, you’ve never watched someone die here. Don’t tell me to be calm

“Just clarifying, I’m not damning the director of the film or anyone involved in making it. I am damning the film and the ideas it conveys,” he wrote on Twitter.
