Following the film's premiere earlier this week, Chance the Rapper also revealed he was secretly a part of the recording process, having signed on as a consultant per Jon Favreau's request.
Chance's addition to the film is even sweeter considering he's been a huge fan of the franchise his entire life.
"For about a year I would go to [The Lion King] studio and see early animations, scenes, music direction or assemblies and they’d always be out of this world amazing."
"One day I’m there Jon [Favreau] asked me to do some singing stuff, another day he asks me to do some lines. Its all a blur, but I’ll tell u its one of the best blurs of my whole life," he shared.
The beloved artist and noted philanthropist also posted a screenshot of the closing credits which gave away that he plays a bush baby in the live-action remake.
In case you were wondering what the hell a bush baby is...
As a huge Chance the Rapper fan, I now have yet another reason to go see The Lion King when it hits theaters on July 19.
