Chance The Rapper Clarifies His Comments on R. Kelly: “We Are All Capable of Subconsciously Discrediting Black Women”

Chance The Rapper appeared in the last segment go Surviving R. Kelly according to RollingStone.com, and speaks on his past working relationship with the singer.

Chance has worked alongside Kelly a few times. He worked on a song with Kelly and Jeremih called “Lost In Paradise,” appeared in Kelly’s video for “Backyard Party,” and even introduced him on stage a couple of times.

“Making a song with R. Kelly was a mistake. I didn’t value the accusers’ stories because they were black women,” Chance the Rapper told journalist Jamilah Lemieux. “I made a mistake.”

After receiving backlash over his comments, Chance issued a statement of clarity on what his intentions were.

“Anyone mentioning that I have black women in my family is deliberately missing the point. Regardless of the proximity of beneficial BW in your life, or being black yourself, we are all capable of subconsciously discrediting BW and their stories because its indoctrinated.”
