Vic Mensa & Chance the Rapper Talk Falling-Out in Emotional Sit-Down: ‘That Really Hurt Me’
The two old friends apologize to each other during first episode of The Vic Mensa Show .
Vic Mensa and Chance the Rapper, who have known each other since childhood, recently sat down for a poignant interview on The Vic Mensa Show, where they discussed their past falling-out. The Chicago-based rappers had formed the rap collective SAVEMONEY in their youth, but tensions arose as they both achieved success during the 2010s.
During the heartfelt conversation, Vic admitted that jealousy played a role in their estrangement. He felt jealous of Chance's success when he dropped his critically acclaimed mixtapes Acid Rap and Coloring Book. "The intense rivalry of our creative process and then like seeing you in so much success, it grew jealousy in me, you what I’m saying?" Vic confessed.
Chance, in turn, accepted Vic's apology and also apologized for an incident involving a tour booking. During the time Acid Rap was released, Cara was attempting to book Vic to open for Chance, but Vic declined, stating that they were at the same level and didn't need to share the stage. Unbeknownst to him, Cara was trying to secure the tour for Vic because he needed the money during that tough period.
Chance apologized for not seeing the bigger picture and for his initial refusal to open for his friend. Both men were visibly moved by the emotional exchange, with Vic visibly holding back tears as he reflected on the significance of the money Chance would have earned from the tour.
