Chance the Rapper seemingly responded to his wife after he was dragged on social media recently for grinding on other women while in Jamaica.
The “No Brainer” artist took a trip out of the country to celebrate his 30th birthday, and some say he had too much fun.
A video of the Chicago native twerking with a woman at the Carnival festival — a parade of dance, music, costumes, food, and rum — went viral on social media earlier this month. The festival is known as the biggest party in Jamaica, yet a debate on whether the artist acted appropriately quickly sparked online.
Several people noted that the “Juice” singer was simply having a good time and doing what one is supposed to do at the festival; dance and have fun. Others felt his actions were disrespectful towards his wife, Kirsten Corley-Bennett.
One fan replied, “IN responds to CHANCE the Rapper. His Ass would be in the DOG HOUSE. DUDE WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU AND ON TAPE!!”
After staying quiet for two weeks, Kirsten ultimately responded to the criticism with a post on Instagram highlighting a few quotes from Maya Angelou. She wrote in her caption, “I hope one day, we all choose to grow up.”
The 29-year-old also shared a screenshot of Angelou’s quotes, which were taken from one of her interviews in 2014 — the same year the author passed away.
Part of the message read, “It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed.”
The post was shared on The Neighborhood Talk, and fans responded, with one saying she didn’t blame Bennett for being upset. “She was clearly bothered and I for one don’t blame her,” the fan wrote. “I don’t care where he was.”
Chance — whose legal name is Chancelor Bennett — seemingly replied by sharing a video on his Instagram Stories of comedian Bill Burr joking about fighting with his wife.
“Yeah, I love my wife to death,” said Burr. “I love everything about being f—king married. But I’ll tell you this right now, we do fight a lot. We do argue all the time. If I’ve learned anything in five years of being married is we’re always working on me, you know?”
He continued, “Evidently, my wife is this completed work under museum class that is to be admired and studied. But ummm how did she do that?”
The outlet also reshared Chance’s post, and fans were quick to respond, noting their disbelief that he was sincere.
One fan wrote, “Sir bye, respect your wife tf….”
“He corny like that’s embarrassing sir.”
“Am I the only MARRIED woman who wouldn’t mind? It’s CARNIVAL!”
“They don’t live in the same house? I hate this new era where nothing is no longer private!!!!!”
The Bennetts have been dating since 2013 and were married in 2019. They share two daughters, 3-year-old Marli Grace, and 7-year-old Kensli.
These people on the social media platforms. Need to mind their own business. Get out and stay out of celebrities personal business. These celebrities got money. Why are you so concerned with your broke asf as?
Yes people need to mind there business. They weren’t having sex they were dancing. Thts wht u do at music festivals. & It was the mans birthday. & Chance ur one of my favorite artists. If tht wife can’t sit back. & Relax. Find another. U shouldn’t be in the dog house u paying for everything to be the king the man of the house hold. Thts why the world is fucked up now. Woman are fucking up whts been running the world for years. Making more of the new men generation gay. Thts not cute.
It’s a festival, yes things happen with food,drink, and people, was he wrong yes, but what l see is that after the grind he didn’t walk away with a hard on, I don’t believe he would have traded sexual advantages for losing his beautiful wife and family. I pray that reconciliation can be made and they are reunited and CHANCE sees the error of his ways to be better to do better at what he stands to lose by thinking with stupid actions. He has to know he’s a celebrity and pictures are sure to be taken and posted..I with them well with progress…
This is Not My Problem We Got Six Month To Mind Own Business And Other Six Month To Stay Out of Your People’s Need Stay in They Lane
Whatever they do is their business no one else’s, yeah he shouldn’t have been grinding on any female but at the same time he was just having a good time. So teaches own you know…it is what it is. It’s not like he walked off with any of them like going to chill and shit. Him and his beautiful wife and daughters will be just fine.
He was wrong by slapping her ass but dancing with a lady from carnival is not that serious he’s never going to see that lady again but speaking for myself her reaction is different just respect your spouse period
