On January 5, 2021, the American rapper arrived in Ghana to join his fellow Chicago rapper Vic Mensa. The two have been living their best lives, visiting places and bonding with Ghanaians through music and sightseeing. According to the rapper, this trip has been both gratifying and eye-opening. “Accra thank you, you save my life,” said in his post.
Unlike his other African Americans from the diaspora, including singer Ari Lennox and Vic Mensa, who came to experience ‘Detty December’ in Ghana, Chance the Rapper arrived after ringing in the new year in the US.
