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.
