Chance the Rapper is backing Kanye West to be the next president of the United States over presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Biden’s support in the black community is already wavering and now a big-name rapper is already backing his opposition. Importantly, Chance The Rapper did not just vocalize his endorsement but invited his followers and supporters to have a conversation about who they are supporting and why.
The endorsement came after West posted a video to his Twitter dedicated to his mother.
“In loving memory of my incredible mother on her birthday,” West tweeted. “My mom reciting KRS1 lyrics This song is called DONDA.”
In the song, a comparison is made between slave overseers and police officers in the civil rights-era.
Chance The Rapper shared the video and tweeted to his 8.3 million followers: “And yall out here [trying to] convince me to vote for Biden. Smfh.”

The tweet was followed by several others inviting people to discuss whether Biden or West would be a better man to hypothetically replace Trump.
Chance The Rapper reached the same conclusion that many of the people who are supporting Biden do not actually have a reason for doing so, they just want Trump voted out.
Are we pro two-party system?

The rapper pressed further and then asked why these people are specifically favoring Biden over West, if they solely just want Trump removed.
Are u more pro biden or anti ye and why? I get that you’ll want to reply that you’re just tryna “get trump out” but in this hypothetical scenario where you’re replacing Trump, can someone explain why Joe Biden would be better??

His conclusion: “Alota u n****s is racist.”

Chance the Rapper also said people had trouble trusting West over Biden, but he disagreed.
“I finally got the answer now. I understand. Yall trust Biden more than yall trust Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way,” he tweeted.

The conversation was enough to get Chance trending on Twitter.
“I didnt plan on trending today, but I would like take this opportunity to say: with all these apologies and accountabilities going around the city of Chicago and the Chicago Police Dept should finally admit to and denounce the assassination of Fred Hampton,” he tweeted.

Chance The Rapper continued his conversation about who should be president and recognized people’s complaints. He also asked about policy changes in general.
I also always felt a way about people using the word “presidential”. Like a nigga acting or not acting presidential. Was Andrew Jackson acting presidential??

How do you as an individual feel about prison abolition and universal basic housing? And if you’re in favor of those things how important are they in terms of immediacy?
