Chance the Rapper spills the tea: why he and Kanye West have grown apart
Chance the Rapper has opened up about why he and Kanye West haven't been close in a while. Speaking on the "New Rory & Mal" podcast, the Chicago native reflected on his evolving relationship with the fellow artist. Chance the Rapper has revealed that it's been quite some time since he's been close with Kanye West . 'I haven't talked to him in a long time,' he admitted. 'He's one of the most influential people in my music. He was at my wedding, and our kids have been friends ever since. I'll always love Kanye, but just being honest, I haven't talked to him in a while." "I feel like I've been hella busy, I'm working on stuff, and he's obviously been busy too. I try not to take opportunities to diss people or add too much to the story.' When asked whether he plans to reconnect with his one-time collaborator, Chance the Rapper was noncommittal. 'The way I think about my world is day by day; what I have to do today, what I'm working on for the next couple of weeks, maybe six months. My relationships are based on whether I've loved someone and whether they've intentionally betrayed me." "I have friends I haven't talked to in five, six, or seven years. It's not like I'm waiting for a moment to lecture them or fix something.' He also offered insight into the unique dynamic between himself and West. 'I'm a lot younger than them, so friendships can look different because we're not necessarily peers. My first album that really influenced me was 'The College Dropout'." "I have a different reverence for Kanye because of how my life unfolded and how it influenced what I do. Most rappers have a first album that shaped them, probably from their city. Imagine if yours was Kanye West - and you worked with him. That's the perspective I come from.'

Split after five years of marriage Chance and Kristen parted ways in 2024 after being married for five years. He shared that he's currently in a 'transition' period and still learning and growing. Love and Family Bonds Remain Despite their split, Chance said they 'definitely love each other.' Coming from a close-knit family, he believes it's important for him, Kristen, and their families to stay connected and get along well. Separation from Kristen Corley Chance revealed that even though they're separated, he and Kristen still travel together, but their relationship has a very different dynamic now. From deep love to divorce The two first met at the age of nine and tied the knot in 2019. They have two daughters, Kensli (9) and Marlie (5). Chance and Kristen shared a strong bond, but five years into their marriage, they faced challenges they couldn't overcome. This eventually led to what Chance describes as an 'amicable' divorce. A Difficult Journey Speaking on the New Rory & Mal podcast, Chance admitted, "I ain't gonna act like it's not tough. I ain't gonna act like it's perfect and we shook hands and dipped. It's weird. I think the toughness is that it's a reality. I think that's the toughest part. You might feel like you're over it, and you're not over it. Or you might be used to a certain pattern of operating, and because it doesn't work like that, you have to allow yourself grace to deal with that and operate in reality. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " Mutual respect Chance shared that he and Kristen maintain mutual respect, which allows them to keep a friendly relationship. They often visit the same places and see each other at least every other week. He noted that, unlike some separated couples who completely cut off contact. Connected through their kids Chance explained that having children means he and Kristen will always share an emotional connection. He compared it to a Venn diagram, where they are both linked through the same centre, their kids. While admitting they may not be the most emotionally mature people, he said they share the understanding that helps them avoid letting conflicts go too far. He added that he's grateful to have a co-parent who shares this mindset. Chance The Rapper is such a family man!
