Chance the Rapper claims “Surviving R. Kelly” interview was “taken out of context”

Chance the Rapper found himself in the hot seat, after his comments featured in the Surviving R. Kelly docu-series began circling the net. 

In the interview, the Coloring Book artist acknowledges that his past collaborations with R. Kelly were a “mistake.” The rapper also suggests that perhaps his dismissal of Kelly’s shocking past was in part due to the the fact that the singer’s accusers are black women. The admittance, however, was meant to punctuate Chance’s larger point of feeling more inclined to be “hypersensitive” to black men’s oppression as oppose to black women’s.

Saturday night, Chance took to Twitter to clarify his statement before issuing a more formal apology.
