Chance The Rapper Apologizes For Disrespecting Dr. Dre

During his Be Encouraged tour, proud indie artist Chance The Rapper went after the record industry.

As his anti-label track ‘No Problem' played, Chance lampooned the names of the labels on the screen behind him.

[Chance The Rapper explains why he's turned down millions from the labels.]

Motown became No Crown, Def Jam Recordings became Don’t Join Recordings, Aftermath Entertainment became Can’t Do Math Entertainment, and so on.

Today, Chance jumped on Twitter and apologized for including Dr. Dre's Aftermath label in his attack.

I want to formally apologize to Dr Dre, and all of Aftermath for publicly disrespecting their hard work and contributions to music.

When I went on the Be Encouraged tour I made LED content to satirize and degrade major labels.

I made the mistake of including Imprints which not only dulled my overall point of trying to uplift artist...

But also singled out artist-owned ventures that have only worked to progress the culture

Dre is a premier example of creating space for wealth and ownership in an industry designed for creatives to be the foot soldiers

His work with Beats, Compton Schools and artist like Kendrick, Game, Eminem, .Paak, 50 NWA and others is unmatched and how i inspire to be

I set out to empower and I completely missed the ball and I know that now,

— Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) June 22, 2017

once again Sorry to Dre, all the artists/producers at Aftermath and all the other folk trying to make a difference in music that I belittled

— Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) June 22, 2017

Do you think Chance should have apologized?
