Chance The Rapper is known as the independent artist that doesn’t need the help of a major record label. With that type of notoriety Chance has taken that status to the next level by calling out some of the majors at his shows. One of those was Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment label. Chance called them “Can’t Do Math Entertainment”.
Chance The Rapper goes to Twitter to say “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. 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”.
Here’s a clip of Chance’s show performance.
