The 24-year-old rapper sat atop a white convertible waving at the crowds during Saturday’s Bud Billiken Parade, which welcomes Chicago children back for the new school year. It’s not the first time Chance has been involved with Chicago Public Schools. Earlier this year he donated $1 million. He was also was part of an effort to distribute thousands of free backpacks stuffed with school supplies at the parade. He’s also urged politicians to help the schools. He told WLS-TV he wants to “make sure everything is a little easier” for students, teachers and parents. The rapper, whose name is Chancelor Bennett, won three Grammys in February. The parade started in 1929.
Aug 14, 2017 class act.....reminder that his net worth is like something 6mill. So hes donated quite a massive proportion of his bank in the last year.
Aug 14, 2017 no. backpacks are r-----ed s---. like yeah he did do a good deed, but f---ing backpacks man when their textbooks cost just under a grand, when school fees are gigantic. like f---ing backpacks, they aren't a neccessity for school. where as pencils, books, food, water, glue scissors, uniforms, clothes etc are 100x more practical, that's why donating backpacks is r-----ed.
