In 2014, after the success of Acid Rap, Chance The Rapper made the move from Chicago to Los Angeles. In a new GQ profile, Chance says that he signed a lease on a house in North Hollywood with James Blake, where artists like BJ The Chicago Kid, J. Cole, and Frank Ocean hung out. “It was like a big-ass rapper mansion," Chance said.

The mansion was mentioned inThe FADER's cover story of the rapper in 2015, "[Chance] and Blake even announced plans to move into a house and record a collaborative album, though this fizzled out at the last moment for reasons Chance himself seems unclear about."

According to a statement from James Blake, it appears the reason is that Blake never really knew about this house or his ownership of it.
