Chance The Rapper wasn’t pleased with comments made by Spike Lee during a recent appearance at Northwestern University in Evanston.
Lee referred to Chance as a “fraud,” calling the “Acid Rap” artist’s critiques of his “Chi-Raq” film a “punk ass move,” according to DNAInfo.com.
Lee said Chance’s father Ken Bennett was named deputy chief of staff and director of the Mayor’s Office of Public Engagement in 2014.
“He [Chance] was on the mayor’s payroll just like his father,” he said.
Chance went on a heated rant on Twitter, calling Lee a “lame” and a “liar.” He also threatened to release audio of Lee begging him to appear in his movie.
