He's also fond of his 'Number 3 cap' ☺ and his daughter. The 'Coloring Book' artiste said a lot in his with Adrienne Gibbs for Ebony Magazine. Here's a little excerpt:
“There are a lot of spaces where you feel like God isn’t around,” Chance states of his brief time in L.A during the interview. “I got some vibes. You have to listen and be aware of your discernment, and if somebody tells you to leave? Then get the f*** out of there. You’ll feel it … You just have to listen to God.”
“This is God’s year. You know, every year is God’s year, but this is a moment of awakening for a lot of people. I’ve just seen a lot of stuff in my own life that has pushed me toward being closer to God and closer to my faith, and it has materialized into success.” – Chance
He also explained why he won’t be running for any office or government position.
“I would never run for any office or government position,” he says plainly after cracking a smile. “I’m not into it. I think politics is a reason why a lot of stuff doesn’t get done. There’s a lot of favors, and a lot of people are held back by their intentions of being re-elected or the things that they owe their party or constituents. I think when you’re in my position as an artist, I can say what I want and talk about the issues that matter. ”
