When you have a perfectly crafted image like Chance it only takes one slight fukk up to lose folk

When it’s always pushed on people how perfect someone is and they show know flaws or self deprecation in their character. The fukk up or misstep is going to be blown up because their is no reference point and people are ready pounce

Chance created the virtuous perfect persona to throw it away for Kanye

He wants to be Kanye’s Jeff Sessions, of course he’s lobbying for him.

This is true

Great guy has one bad moment in life, the masses come out "See, hes no better than the bad guy. I knew it, hes a phony"
Bad guy has one good moment in life, the masses come out "See, he really is a good guy. I knew it. Hes better than those phonies"



However, going to bat for Kanye isnt a good look. He should take a hit. That's the risk of taking a stance on anything.

Is it really that hard for dudes to be quiet on social media and not jump out the window? I was always kind of indifferent to Chance so not that surprised .. But I was disappointed after hearing Cyhi comments .. But I'm sure he cashing them Kanye ghostwriter checks for these projects dropping next month so maybe he feels like he needs to or something...

A lot of dramatization in the op. Only a segment of Chance's fans view him like that. Replace Chance with Logic and I agree.

Every since Chance became a person that matters to popular culture this has been his image

If you’re going to create and carry that persona you better let your music and the media promoting you do the talking

The thing that's most striking to me is that Chance has a top tier publicist and PR team who meticulously craft what we see and prune his image. They no doubt advised him not to jump into this, or at least to offer a disclaimer ("while Trump is a vile man..."). Instead Chance still jumped out the window to defend Kanye. Obviously they're friends but given Chance's political views and activism, this doesn't make sense unless it was all a ruse. You can defend Kanye for being opinionated without doing what Chance did, which was basically cosigning Kanye's argument and ignoring the elephant in the room - Trump.

I'm not even sure where Chance goes with his career. This is an interesting turning point.
