The 3 time Grammy-winning musician made this known during his recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. ”It was a very spur-of-the-moment thing
one of my best friend amazing artist Vic Mensa who we came up together in music and other stuff, he’s Ghanaian and spent all his winters there and always visit his family. this winter i said may i come with you and he said yeah and I will forever love him for that” he said.
On January 5th, news of Chance’s arrival in Ghana had social media talking and in a week, the rapper experienced more than he hoped for.
After the Chicago-based rapper was picked from the Kotoka International Airport by fellow rapper Vic Mensa, he excitedly shared his arrival with his followers on Instagram.

He also made a stop at the Jubilee House, Freedom Skatepark, Gallery 57 inside Kempinski Goldcoast Hotel, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park & Mausoleum, Front/Back, Republic Bar, and the Labadi Beach which he documented in a video.
Chance who was christened with the Ghanaian name “Nana Kofi Boa-Ampensom” also went on a family history search. According to a post on Instagram, a church where he worshipped was built by his family years ago.
