AceShowbiz - Chance the Rapper has landed in hot water for defending Kanye West, who recently caused outrage after expressing love for President Donald Trump on Twitter. The 25-year-old rapper received backlash after his comments surrounding the "Gold Digger" hitmaker did not sit well with a lot of people.
"Talked to him two days ago. He's in a great space and not affected by folk tryna question his mental health or physical health," Chance, whose real name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennet, tweeted. "Same Ye from the Vmas, same Ye from the telethon."

One other user called Chance a "hypocrite," adding, "He was all for being fake woke when it involved attacking Miley for calling her grandma 'mammy' but now he's out here defending Kanye despite him supporting Trump. The bandwagon hate needs to STOP."

Some others, meanwhile, commented that they were upset because Kanye was supporting Donald, not because he wasn't a democrat. One follower noted, "we're not pressed that he's not democrat. We're pressed because he's openly supporting a racist homophobic man that prides himself on tearing families and tight knit communities apart. No shade, just tea."
