Chance Pushes Back on Trump Tweet With Passionate Message to Fans

Chance the Rapper wants to make something clear -- he doesn't agree with President Donald Trump.

Trump mentioned Chance in a tweet Friday morning amid his recent interactions with fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West, and the mention elicited a simple five-word response from the "Coloring Book" artist.

"Nah that aint it yo," he said before launching into a long explanation of what happened.

The nod from Trump comes after Chance, while defending criticism of his friend and fellow Chicago artist Kanye West, wrote that "Black people don't have to be democrats." 

"Unfortunately, my attempt to support Kanye is being used to discredit my brothers and sisters in the movement and I can't sit by and let that happen either," he said Friday. "I'd never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism and discrimination. I'd never support someone who'd talk about Chicago as if it's hell on earth and then take steps to make life harder here for the most disenfranchised among us."

The interactions between Trump and West showed no signs of slowing down as the commander-in-chief took to Twitter Friday to continue his praise of the rapper. 

Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy Stuff! Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history).

West and Trump have been praising each other all week. On Thursday, Trump thanked West for having the "good taste" to support him after West called the president his "brother" and said they both have "dragon energy" flowing through their veins. West has also been seen sporting a Make America Great Again cap in recent days.

Trump said in an interview with "Fox & Friends" that he knew the rapper "a little bit" and always got along with him, and said that West has noticed the low unemployment rate for black Americans. 

"He sees that stuff and he's smart and he says, 'you know what, Trump is doing a much better job than the Democrats did,'" the president said.

Following Trump's tweet Chance said his comments were "a personal issue with the fact that Chicago has had generations of democratic officials with no investment or regard for black schools, neighborhood or black lives."

"But again, said that s--- at the wrongest time," he wrote.
