While Spike Lee’s latest movie Chiraq has had mixed criticism over the past month since the trailer released. However, one of Chicago’s most outspoken rappers, Chance the Rapper, went to Twitter let his fans know that he will not support the Lee’s new creation. Chance is one of a plethora of rappers from the Windy City who are against the film. Not only did the rapper speak out against Chiraq through his opinion, he tweeted that the city is not supporting it either.

The people that made that s### didn't do so to "Save Lives". It's exploitive and problematic

Also the idea that women abstaining from sex would stop murders is offensive and a slap in the face to any mother that lost a child here

You don't do any work with the children of Chicago, You don't live here, you've never watched someone die here. Don't tell me to be calm
