Chance the Rapper has an apology to make.
The independent artist shows his pride in not being tied to a label so much that at his shows he showcases a satirical version of some of the biggest record label’s logos. Think Don’t Join (Def Jam) or Phony (instead of Sony).
Seems like someone felt some type of way about it because he went on Twitter to apologize for offending some of the labels specifically Dr. Dre.
Did Chance do too much with these images? See what was said below.
I want to formally apologize to Dr Dre, and all of Aftermath for publicly disrespecting their hard work and contributions to music.
