HIP-HOP Chance the Rapper Forced to Miss New York Charity Performance Due to Hospitalization

Chance the Rapper performs onstage during Day 1 of Squamish Valley Music Festival on Aug. 7, 2015 in Squamish, Canada.

Chance The Rapper won't be taking the stage as scheduled for a charity event Monday night (May 9) after being hospitalized, a source tells Billboard. The Chicago rapper was slated to perform at New York's Terminal 5 for the "Night For NYC" event tonight, hosted by the Robin Hood organization to raise money in the fight against poverty. According to the event's site, general admission for one costs $150 while deluxe admission runs at $250; 100 percent of every dollar would help "feed a family of four for one week."

The Robin Hood organization also announced on Twitter that artists Anderson .Paak, Mark Ronson and Joey Bada$$ will be performing at tonight's event in place of Chance The Rapper. This isn't the first time the MC born Chancelor Bennett has canceled a performance. In 2014, he was forced to cancel his Coachella set after falling ill and being sent to the hospital.
