In 2020, Kanye West was working on an album called ‘Donda’ dedicated to his mother's memory. Footage from the making of the project surfaced online and found West seemingly yelling at Chance The Rapper, with West telling Chance, “Listen to the album or leave!” Now, Chance The Rapper has addressed the footage. 

While on ‘The Morning Hustle,’ Chance spoke candidly about the moment, saying, “It’s a clip of a larger moment, like no one’s ever gonna get the full story of what’s going on. And yeah, people do take it and run with it, ’cause I saw some people put, like, fake captions under the video to make it look like he was talking about my music or something like that. But in all honesty, this is real life. I have real friends and they go through real problems.”

The rapper said he went to Wyoming to “check on his friend,” noting he was worried about Kanye. “Me and a lot of other people still have love for Ye,” said Chance.  He continued, “But he’s a human, he’s not perfect. He was obviously going through it at that time. It made me re-evaluate my friendship with him, for sure. I had never been so close to him going through an episode.”

He concluded by saying, “At the end of the day, I definitely love the dude. That’s my guy. It sucks that sometimes people can exploit a moment that is a genuine moment.” Watch above.

Last year, Kanye promised fans that he would be releasing a new album called Donda in memory of his mother. Since then, Kanye reshifted his focus to the 2020 election, where he unsuccessfully ran under a third party that he called the Birthday Party. He also stated that he wouldn't release any new music until his contract with Sony and Universal Music Group had expired. 

While some fans believe that the Donda project will become another Yandi, a clip from the making of Donda was released online. The clip shows Kanye in the studio with Chance the Rapper and Dame Dash, among others. Things got tense between Chance and Kanye, and at one point, the "Runaway" rapper screams at Chance, "Listen to the album or leave!"

The video then cuts to Dame, who explained the situation, stating, "My thing is just get rid of the people who are triggering him, just get 'em out of here and let’s just have fun being creative. So, Kanye is finishing his album and there’s people around. Chance, honestly, because of what he was reading, he came through just to check Kanye. You know, Kanye deals with his issues at all times. They got into it, but they worked it out." 

The group is later seen hanging out at Kanye's Wyoming ranch, and things seem to be smoothed over between Kanye and Chance. You can check it out in full above.
