Chance the Rapper recently commented on Kanye West’s support of President Donald Trump: “Same Ye from the VMAs, same Ye from the telethon.” He later said, “Black people don’t have to be democrats.” Today (April 27), Trump thanked Chance on Twitter, and Chance has now responded. “My name Bennett and I ain’t in it,” he wrote. He then retweeted Trump and said, “Nah, that ain’t it yo.” Chance followed with a full statement:

“I didn’t speak up because I agree with what Kanye had to say or ’cause I fuck with Trump. I did it because I wanted to help my friend and ’cause I felt like I was being used to attack him,” he wrote. “I’d never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism, and discrimination.” He continued, “So let my apology be seen in my future works, and let me make up for my poorly timed comments with immediate action and advocacy for those who need it most.” Find the full statement below.

Chance has previously spoken out about the president. When Donald Trump threatened to “send in the Feds” to Chicago, Chance said, “I’m tired of n—–s talkin’ about Chicago like it’s a Third World country.... It sounds like he was announcin’ he was going to war with Chicago.” He later elaborated on his comments in several interviews.
