In January 2021 the internet saw a concerned Chance the Rapper that traveled all the way to Wyoming to check on his friend Kanye West to make sure he was okay only to get loudly berated in front of a room full of people. Well it’s been awhile but he’s finally speaking out about what happened. In an upcoming interview on The Morning Hustle, he said the video didn’t give “the full story.” “It’s a clip of a larger moment, like no one’s ever gonna get the full story of what’s going on,” he explained. “And yeah, people do take it and run with it, ’cause I saw some people put, like, fake captions under the video to make it look like he was talking about my music or something like that. But in all honesty, this is real life. I have real friends and they go through real problems.”
As for what he was doing when he showed up some 1,100 miles away from his hometown of Chicago in Wyoming, he said “I did come out there to check on my friend. Me and a lot of other people still have love for Ye. But he’s a human, he’s not perfect. He was obviously going through it at that time … It made me re-evaluate my friendship with him, for sure. I had never been so close to him going through an episode.” he went on to say, “… At the end of the day, I definitely love the dude. That’s my guy. It sucks that sometimes people can exploit a moment that is a genuine moment.”
A clip of Damon Dash is in the clip which lead people to believe at the time it was leaked from a Donda documentary Dash was creating who also said this took place at a Donda recording session. While it isn’t clear what sparked the argument, it looks like we’ll have to wait til Monday’s episode of Morning Hustle to find out.
