Married ‘Christian Rapper’ Caught Grinding on Woman, Slapping Her Butt at Festival
Chance the Rapper (real name Chancelor Johnathan Bennett) is a well-known rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer. Nominated for over 60 prestigious music awards, he broke out in 2016 with his album ‘Coloring Book’ which saw him being nominated for 7 Grammy awards and winning 3, including Best Rap Album, Best New Artist, and Best Rap Performance. Along with releasing music, he recently became one of the coaches on the hit TV show ‘The Voice.’
He’s also been pretty vocal about his faith. The married father of two children has described himself multiple times as a ‘Christian’ and even a ‘Christian rapper’, saying in an interview with Teen Vogue in 2016:
“I don’t make Christian rap, but I am a Christian rapper. When I was going out and trying to fully give glory to God, in my setting, I feared that people would be dismissive of it, like, ‘This is Christian rap, I’m not trying to hear it.’”
In 2018 he took a sabbatical from his work, explaining he wanted to get away and learn the scriptures better.
Over the years, he’s mentioned and talked about his faith in a variety of contexts, including a 2020 Easter post, where he wrote:
Growing up in the church and being raised as a Christian by his grandmother, Chance says he fell away from the faith for many years. After his daughter was born with an atrial flutter, however, he prayed to God for her recovery, which led him to renew his faith. He marked his newfound profession on social media:
Despite his professions, however, his sanctification never seemed to take off. He still curses as much as ever, casually dropping the f-bomb with hardly a care. Even though he’s been publicly describing himself a Christian, he lived with his long-time girlfriend and mother of his children for many years, only marrying her in 2019 after a 5-year engagement, demonstarting a deep and abiding disregard for God’s word. He has frequently engaged in crass behavior, sharing a video of himself grinding on his wife and simulating sex acts with her, for attention and laughs from his social media audience. Late last year, he was in the news after his Twitter account liked a pornographic account. His wife defended his actions as something he didn’t intend to do, explaining: “So, sometimes shit happens on accident. So, all you little trolls that are coming to my page that are getting blocked, y’all can go to hell.”
In newly captured video, which we will not show on account that it is far too graphic and explicit, a shirtless Chance was seen dancing with and being twerked on by a nearly nude woman at the Carnival festival in Jamaica, grinding against her and slapping her butt. She in turn was being twerked on by another nearly naked woman in front of her, all the while his bodyguard looked on wearing a ‘Child of God’ shirt.
The whole thing is profane, and typifies the behavior of a raging false convert.
Still, some progressives have come out and defended or ‘contextualized’ the behavior, explaining that dancing with strangers and having a good time at Carnival is part of the Jamaican culture and doesn’t mean anything. At least one prominent pastor has come out and said while he viewed it as ‘inappropriate’ and ‘out of pocket’, he did not consider it to be cheating.
So far, neither he nor his wife has addressed the controversy.

Why do you blur out the woman, and yet not the man’s nakedness? Why defile the minds of your audience with such things?
Are you the John Smith that pastored in Salem and Birch Tree?
No problem here. Apparently that’s how they roll in his culture, so it’s just a cultural thing, nothing more. Lustful grinding on strangers, sexual promiscuity, partying without your wife among a godless nation of sin (Jamaica) – it’s all good man. They are all the same color, with the same cultural values, so it’s okay. Relax. The “wife” is probably doing the same while the “grandmother” keeps her “babies”.
