His announcement comes after a meeting with Illinois governor Bruce Rauner last week, where they discussed public education and other “important issues affecting” the city of Chicago and Illinois as a whole.
Immediately following the meeting, Chance The Rapper expressed his frustration, saying, “It went a little different than it should have,” and that he was given vague answers when speaking with the governor.
