Despite donating $1 million to the Chicago Public School System earlier this week, Chance the Rapper, found himself on the defensive regarding his own child just a couple days. Chicago Sun Times writer, Mary Mitchell, penned an op-ed, accusing the Grammy Award winner of being involved in a child support battle with his baby's mother, Kristen Corley.
Mitchell wrote that the "messy split" from Corley and subsequent court proceedings involving their 18-month old daughter "threatens to overshadow the positive vibes created by his $1 million donation."
According to Corley's child support petition, Chance, born Chancelor Bennett, is making it impossible for her to get her own home.
“Kirsten is essentially being held hostage in Chancelor’s residence as, on one hand, he will not assist her with the support necessary to obtain her own residence unless this entire matter is resolved on his terms, yet on the other hand, Kirsten does not have knowledge of what specific objections Chancelor has to her counter proposal and therefore, it would be impossible to resolve,” reads the petition.
Chance responded to the article by posting an Instagram video on Thursday, March 9, with Corley and their child.
The clip has been taken down, but this is what he had to say, according to Billboard.
“Y’all better do y’all jobs and stop worrying about how good my family is,” he said. “Just a friendly reminder. Don’t let anybody get between you and your family.” Chance said. "Don’t be afraid of what other people are saying about you. Do your job and everything will be fine. Sun-Times, get the fuck back.'”

"Diss records can't be lies. Great diss records are facts," said Nicki in a post. "But here @ Young Money, we don't do diss records, we drop hit records and diss U on them. I got a bunch more on cock. Pauz. The greats took 3 months to respond to diss records. Queens don't move on peasant time. Queens shut down Paris, then drop hits on #Queentime.
"I love my fans. Y'all the real MVP's. Been writing my own raps since I was 11. God knows. Next week I'll beat Aretha [Franklin] for the most Hot 100 hits on Billboard, by any woman in the world ever in the history of music. Stay in your bum ass place. Jealousy gets u nowhere.

For 25 years, Raekwon has been one of the most sought out voices in music; a true originator of lyricism, street fashion and inventive music. On 3-24-2017 the legendary emcee will release his seventh solo album The Wild. Released through his own IceH20 imprint along with EMPIRE, the album is a stark commentary on both the world and the music industry--everything is wild, Rae notes, alluding to his new album’s symbolic title.
With so much uncertainty in the world, it’s never been more apparent that this jungle needs order; and as the apex predator within hip-hop’s jungle, Raekwon plans to restore order with The Wild.
Today, via an exclusive premiere with Rolling Stone, Raekwon releases the second single from The Wild, “My Corner,” which features Lil Wayne.
“Wayne is a charismatic individual and his flows are dumb delightful” Raekwon commented to Rolling Stone. “I studied him way back and appreciated the opportunity to trade bars with him. I always heard his voice on this and I was very pleased hearing him tap dance on a different style of production. “My Corner” is a flashback to them good ole terrible blocks and we take you back to all black outfits. This record must be played at high volume.”
