Chance The Rapper Diffuses Eminem Tour Rumours

One of the names that had been expected to join in on the massive Rapture event, headed up by Eminem and also featuring rappers Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, 360 and Action Bronson, was hugely hyped Chicagoan Chance The Rapper. Today, as FasterLouder have pointed out, he has denied that he will be joining the line-up, due to exhaustion – or, as he puts it, “being mad tired”.

yo I hate to tell you guys this way, but due to me being mad tired I won't be joining Em and Kendrick on the australia tour in march.

Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap mixtape released in April of this year has been praised by the public and critics alike and is considered by many to be one of the best hip hop releases of the year.

His name had appeared on an early poster advertising the event, alongside Action Bronson who was not part of its first announce. Bronson has since confirmed he will join in on the party, but no such luck for fans of the young Chicago artist.
