This week, Chance The Rapper went viral after videos surfaced of him grinding with dancers at Carnival 2023 in Jamaica.
Chance the Rapper
In the videos, Chance — who's been married to influencer and former model Kirsten Corley since 2019 — grinds with the dancers and touches their butts.
As you could guess, this led to a lot of social media reaction with people reminding him that he's married:
@LucyAndVagabond @chancetherapper @xoduscarnival @melaxgoddess @CarnivalJamaica @VisitJamaicaNow @tourismja @campari Chancellor where is yo wifeeee💀
@chynnadotcom He married doing this in 4k if it was the other way around and his wife was letting some other man touch all over her she wold be called every degrading insult in the book.
@LyndelKing @chynnadotcom I don’t care what the culture is I wouldn’t want my man thats married out here getting twerked on by half naked women, and then letting people record him do it.
People also brought up how Chance brands himself as a "Wife Guy":
@LucyAndVagabond @chancetherapper @xoduscarnival @melaxgoddess @CarnivalJamaica @VisitJamaicaNow @tourismja @campari Guys stop or we’re gonna get this again
Literally, Vulture published an article in 2019 titled, "Chance the Rapper Knows You Think He’s a Wife Guy."
However, some defended Chance and pointed out that there are contributing cultural factors. "Let that man enjoy Caribbean culture," one person wrote.
For the life of me I don’t know why Caribbean ppl entertaining American commentary about Chance the Rapper at Jamaica carnival.
Amaricans refusing to understand cultures outside of America will never not be funny to me because how tf are they saying Chance The Rapper is cheating on his wife at a Carnival
Others were like, "It's just not that deep."
So ppl are debating whether Chance the Rapper is wrong for letting a chick twerk on him? After all the things we hear rappers do as married men, THIS is what we zero in on??? 😂🥴 Chiiilllee, let’s just mind our own business on this one. Only his wife’s opinion matters anyway.
@LucyAndVagabond @chancetherapper @xoduscarnival @melaxgoddess @CarnivalJamaica @VisitJamaicaNow @tourismja @campari Everyone bringing up his wife. Dancing especially at carnival not that deep. You could dance w a stranger and never see em again. Married or not 💀
re: chance the rapper you can’t love your wife and also catch ass at carnival? the straights make marriage sound unbearably stale.
In fact, the situation was so viral that it became a meme:
