Chance the Rapper treats Chicago fans to free movie

Days after his outstanding victory at the Grammy Awards, Chance the Rapper was in a good mood to reward his Chicago fans.

On Sunday, the Grammy-winning rapper bought all the tickets for the film “Get Out” at a theater in Chicago and invited all his fans to watch it for free. After watching the film himself, Chance was blown away by Jordan Peele’s masterpiece and thought of the gracious treat.

“I bought all the tickets to ‘Get Out’ at Chatham Theatre on 87th. Just pull up with ID and enjoy the movie,” he tweeted on Sunday. “All day guys, come thru! Bring whoever, it’s free I just want you to see it on 87th. There’s a few more showings today!”

“Get Out,” a comedy-horror flick that tackles racism, is Peele’s first project as a film director. It follows the story of a bi-racial American couple who encounters a spine-tingling incident inside an ancestral mansion.

Chance The Rapper, whose real name is Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, released his streaming-only album “Coloring Book,” which was nominated for seven categories at the recent Grammy Awards, Rolling Stone reported. Out of seven, he bagged three of them—Best New Artist, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance.  Gianna Francesca Catolico /ra
