“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,”Baker told the crowd.
Chance — who recently bought a $2.3 million mansion — tweeted about the "Sweet Love" singer afterward and said that he enjoyed her concert thoroughly.
Had no idea you would be in our Midst.

“I saw one of THE greatest performances of my LIFETIME last night,” tweeted the Chicago rhymer. “Thank you so much @IAMANITABAKER for being an inspiration and an icon to so many of US.”
"Had no idea you would be in our Midst," Baker wrote back. "Such a nice Surprise. Brought Tears, to my eyes. Hope Ms. Essence enjoyed her Birthday ABXO🎼♥️🎈."
What's your theory on how Chance got Baker's masters?
