Source: Courtesy Netflix / Courtesy Netflix Fans React to Chance The Rapper Postponing Upcoming Tour Five Days From Kickoff Chance The Rapper has had a busy summer. The rapper finally dropped his highly anticipated debut album, announced a new tour, filmed a new judge-style television show for Netflix called Rhythm & Flow , and most recently, he welcomed a new baby girl into the world. Of course, these are all great things to have on your calendar, but one of those seems to have come at the wrong time for Chance: his upcoming North American tour. The Chicago native took to his Instagram page to make the announcement that his tour, which was scheduled to start in only a few days, was going to be postponed . This news comes directly following the announcement that his wife gave birth to their second child together. “I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most” he explained in his caption. Chance went on to explain that the new tour will kicks off at the top of next year, on January 15. He also reminds those fans lucky enough to have tickets for his 9/28 show in Chicago, Life Is Beautiful Festival, iHeart Music Fest, and Miami Beach Pop Up Fest that he’ll still be in attendance. View this post on Instagram I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can’t make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you’ll understand and forgive me in time. Tour kicks off Jan. 15th and you can still get tix or your refund if you are unavailable at chanceraps.com & a few of the shows are still being rescheduled as well so stay tuned. I love you guys AND LITERALLY CANT WAIT FOR U TO WITNESS THIS SHOW SIDENOTE: 9/28 CHICAGO AT UNITED CENTER IS STILL ON AS WELL AS “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FEST” “IHEART MUSIC FEST” & “MIAMI BEACH POP FEST”! A post shared by Chance The Rapper Owbum (@chancetherapper) on Sep 9, 2019 at 12:20pm PDT As the old saying goes, “Happy Wife, Happy Life” and leaving to go on tour not even a month after having a new child isn’t exactly the formula for making any wife happy. Glad to see Chance made the right decision to stand by his family, even though fans aren’t exactly happy about it. On one hand, it’s dope that he postponed the tour to focus on his wife and children–on the other, you really didn’t know you were having a kid around the same time when you announced this tour? Here’s what some fans had to say about the news: Chance pushed back his tour why? Oh right, he loves his wife — Budders (@bfromdag) September 9, 2019 Are you kidding me. bought tickets for Lamar’s birthday to see Chance the Rapper and he’s cancelled his tour. Like after I’ve paid hundreds of dollars for tickets, hotel room for two nights, we’ve requested off work and everything. Got it arranged for his mom to keep our kids.. — Allieee (@amharkerrr) September 9, 2019 I was suppose to be on my way to sf this next weekend to see chance the rapper but he wanna reschedule the tour until JANUARY! WTF — mrsdz (@mjackilynn) September 9, 2019 okay so like one half of me totally understands Chance pushing back his tour for his new baby, but the other half of me is saying F THEM KIDS MAN — Liv (@BreezeBailey_17) September 9, 2019
