Under ett tal på Northwestern University, Chicago, så sågade Spike Lee rapparen Chance The Rapper.

“Straight-up fraud. He puts himself up as a speaker of the people, but that means you have to put truths that you see. That doesn’t mean you can pick and choose what you talk about.”

Chance har tidigare uttryckt sin kritik mot filmen ”Chi-Raq” som Spike Lee var manusförfattare och producent till. Chicago-rapparen anser att Spike Lee utnyttjat Chicago för sin egen vinning.

“He got his little $15 million from Amazon and his other little bread from Lionsgate and made a movie that was not about Chicago but manipulated and used Chicago actors and Chicago scenery to push this movie. It was an oversimplification of a bigger problem. He wasn’t really focusing on the issues of Chicago, it wasn’t really about Chicago. To me, it was about this age-old conversation of Black-on-Black violence, which is to me some Bill Cosby ‘pull up your pants’ stuff. I’m just not for it.”

Chance  ännu inte svarat på uttalandet från Spike Lee  har nu svarat på Spike Lee’s kommentarer via Twitter:
