Despite Drake’s jab at Chance The Rapper in his 2014 track ‘Draft Day’, the two were friendly last night as they hung out backstage at the United Center in Chicago. Minutes ago, Chance’s brother (Taylor Bennett) posted a photo with Drake, which he tagged his big bro Chance for the camera credits.

“If I’d leave this shit to chance, I’da picked a name like Chance the Rapper,” rapped Drake in ‘Draft Day’. To be fair though, Drake stressed in the next bars that there was no offense as he “doesn’t know that n*gga.” Well… he knows him now, and let’s just hope that this meeting leads to an eventual collaboration. A Chance verse on Views From The 6 perhaps?

Check out Taylor’s photo with Drizzy below (took by Chance himself).

Chance The Rapper shared the release of his new album Surf (with The Social Experiment) last night, but that didn’t stop him from giving back to his community less than a day later. Today Chance paid a visit to students and faculty at Chicago’s John Fiske School and Scammon Elementary School to present awards for the “Get Schooled, Get Connected” challenge. The challenge, designed to help Chicago Public School (CPS) students stay motivated to finish the school year strong, ended last Friday and Chance did his part to help reward the students’ hard work.

Tyler The Creator Announces That Odd Future Is “No More”

“Although its no more, those 7 letters are forever,” tweet Odd Future’s Tyler the Creator tonight. Is Odd Future (“OFWKTA”), which consists of Tyler the Creator, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Taco and many more, really done? As suggested by Tyler’s tweet, it must be. If so though, what exactly does that mean? Odd Future isn’t like One Direction, as in it’s not a group/bank that always and only travels together. It’s a collective of artists, each with their own visions and specific styles. Tyler the Creator does his thing. Frank Ocean does his thing. Earl Sweatshirt does his thing. And the rest of Odd Future does their thing as well. So while we don’t exactly know what the end of OFWGKTA means, this certainly wasn’t a good tweet to read!

Check out Tyler’s heartbreaking tweet below.

The curse is said to have originated deep within the Amazon Forest and was used by native tribes to…okay not really. It is a curse placed by Lil B (“The Based God”), and it is meant to ruin that person’s fortune, success and in extreme cases, even causing foot fractures.
