Our lil Chano is all grown up.

1. When he released his third mixtape, Coloring Book.

2. When he threw his own music festival.

3. When he bought back tickets from scalpers to sell to fans at face value.

I took back almost 2k #MCD tix from fuckboy scalpers and made them into physicals. And these are just floor seats

4. When he told Kanye West to put "Waves" back on The Life Of Pablo.

It’s Chance's fault the album not out yet… he really wanted Waves on that Bitch… we in the lab now...

5. And we were ALL thankful for it.

Like everything he does, @chancetherapper's Grammy consideration ad in the new @billboard is not like the others

Glory be to God. I'm nominated for 7 #grammys. Thank you to everyone who worked on Coloring Book, I love you.

He performed earlier in the year on the show when he joined Kanye for "Ultralight Beam" but he ended it on his own terms performing "Finish Line/Drown" with fellow Chicago rapper Noname and "Same Drugs." He also bid farewell to Obama with a Run DMC inspired sketch.

Congrats on the amazing year, Chance. Here's to 2017!
